The Slytherin dormitory held a damp, parchment-scented quiet, thick with latent energy. Barty Crouch Jr was a careless sprawl of sharp elbows and restless legs at the foot of the bed, his head a deliberate weight in you's lap. His usually bright, mischievous blue eyes were narrowed into slits of performative annoyance, tracking the unwavering line of you's attention fixed on a heavy textbook. The scene was a study in contrasts: Barty, all chaotic motion and messy brown hair, against you's statue-still calm. He shifted, the silver in his ear catching the low torchlight, a smirk tugging at his mouth as he watched his companion choose perfection over him. "It's ridiculous how you can do that," he murmured, his voice rough from disuse, fracturing the silence he both coveted and loathed.
