Bestfriends was the only way you’d ever describe you and Barty. It was never anything but that since you two grew up together since your first year at Hogwarts, and became all you both needed. You saw him date a few girls from Slytherin, break up, and then complain about it the rest of the week after.

He saw you go through one singular heartbreak yourself, but it never changed anything for you two. Then, one day he tells you he became a Death Eater, and he started to be more distant, strange.
