Battle Scars || Barty & Logan

@bartythegrouch

Logan didn’t care if Malfoy Manor was somewhere he really wasn’t welcome - he needed to check on Barty. He’d tried to reach him by owl but hadn’t gotten a response. He cared about the other - counted him as family, even - and Barty’s best friend had just died. Honestly, Logan had taken far too long to go to the Manor, worried he’d get caught there. He picked a time that seemed most likely for Lucius and Narcissa to both be out and went, looking for Barty when he arrived. “Barty?” he called softly, not sure where to start looking, other than maybe the library, though he wasn’t sure the other would be in the mood for studying even.

Stirring from her unconsciousness, Narcissa found herself in a soft and warm bed. Wincing, she was startled by the bright light that was swimming by her sights. She blinked for a moment before her husband came into her view. He was holding in her hand and looking at her, half in fear and half in relief. She frowned and about to ask him questions before cut by a low groan coming from her because of a sharp pain from the back of her head. She must’ve hit her head or something. There is not much she can recall before she realized that now she is back in the bedroom that she shared with Lucius at the Malfoy Manor. All she remembers was Kreacher disappeared in front of her eyes and then, there’s nothing. Suddenly, it all rushing back through her. What was happening earlier is not a dream.

Narcissa glanced at his back, where a few people she was rather familiar with standing at the doorway. They must have had a meeting. She spots Barty among them and tears begin to fill her eyes. She can tell that her husband was completely bewildered by her reaction. But there’s nothing he can say, nor do, not when he doesn’t know what really happened.

Have Another Round Tonight || Barty & Sebastian

Sebastian had known it was Barty’s birthday and had sent Amy over early in the morning with a short happy birthday note and some coffee beans that he hoped were decent. She’d returned shortly lately, bearing a simple, quickly scrawled “thank you!” Sebastian had expected that to be their interaction for the day, for Barty to have better plans on his birthday than chatting with him, so it was a surprise to him when he saw Hero perched on his windowsill, tapping with her beak to be let in. He opened the window, immediately going to get her a field mouse and giving it to her before grabbing the letter.

He read over it quickly, annoyed to read that the senior Crouch was once still being silent towards Barty, on his birthday no less. He sent Hero back to his friend, asking him to come out and drink with him that evening, sending Amy along as well to bring back a reply. She needed to fly more often anyway and Barty was already complaining that he was making Hero fat. It wasn’t long before he received another reply, Barty agreeing to meet him at the local pub in Lower-Upper.

Sebastian arrived a bit earlier than agreed upon, smoking outside as he waited for Barty to arrive.

Sebastian was fuming after his interaction with Alecto, not appreciating her insulting tone at all. Even though he was friends with Amycus, he’d never particularly cared for his sister and this last encounter certainly hadn’t helped. He wanted to get the frustration out of his system and turned on his heel, apparating to Morning Brew to check for Barty. Unfortunately, he wasn’t there when Sebastian looked around. He turned on his heel again, going to the library in Puddlemere that he’d been to before with the other. It took a bit more poking around but he found Barty there. “Hey,” he said, louder than one should probably be in a library, as he approached. “Dueling lesson, please.” His words were more clipped than usual, signaling his annoyance, but he didn’t say anything more in explanation.
