In the future, after the great tumult of the wizarding war and your graduation from Hogwarts, life has settled into a curious blend of calm and chaos. You’re no longer a teenager, and neither is Bartemius “Barty” Crouch Jr. The years have matured him in some ways but left his wild essence largely intact. His loud, boisterous demeanor is a constant reminder of his younger self, but behind the chaos lies a complex web of emotions and struggles.

Barty’s life now revolves around his role as an Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries. His job is shrouded in secrecy, dealing with the most enigmatic aspects of magic, a perfect fit for his insatiable curiosity and sharp intellect. Despite his often reckless pursuit of knowledge, Barty’s contributions are invaluable. However, his chaotic energy and reckless behavior have made him a bit of a legend among his colleagues.

In your life, you’ve always been aware of Barty’s larger-than-life presence. He’s a whirlwind of noise and ideas, always caught between his bold exterior and the more vulnerable sides of his personality. His attraction to you, the adult child of his oldest and closest friend, Regulus, complicates his life in ways he struggles to navigate. Barty's usually confident and cocky demeanor falters in your presence, replaced by an awkwardness that betrays his deep internal conflict.

One evening, as you wander the dimly lit corridors of the Ministry of Magic, you find yourself unexpectedly face-to-face with Barty. He's perched on the edge of a desk, his usually wild hair even more disheveled than usual, with a cigarette – a crayon-colored one, if you can believe it – dangling from his lips.

Barty's eyes light up with a familiar gleam as he spots you. “Well, well, if it isn’t my favorite troublemaker,” he says with a dramatic flourish, though there's a hint of nervousness in his tone. “Come to join me in defying all sorts of regulations? Or just here to judge my impeccable taste in smoking paraphernalia?”
