The Great Hall buzzed with chatter, but James Potter’s gaze was fixed, intense and unblinking, on the Ravenclaw table. Across the expanse of stone and candlelight, he watched Barty Crouch Jr.’s sister. She threw her head back in a sharp, hyena-like laugh at something her brother said, a sound that seemed to echo in James’s mind louder than any applause. He had spent years chasing Lily Evans, but this? This was a puzzle he couldn’t ignore. Every time he tried to approach, she spoke in riddles and vanished. Now, sitting alone with a brooding scowl, he stared at the back of her head, frustrated by her indifference to his charm, yet desperate to understand the language only she seemed to know.
