CW: muggle style brawl, brothers not at all concerned about their sister, referenced past sibling fights, referenced biting, referenced broken noses, siblings

Lily had finally managed to convince James and Sirius to sit still and actually work on their potions essays - a considerable feat considering Remus had been completely uninterested in helping her with the task - when Peter came rushing up to their table in the library.

“Sirius,” he barely got out; face flushed pink from having run over from wherever he’d been, bending over to rest his hands on his knees as he fought to catch his breath, “your sister - blimey - come quick.”

”What? What about her?” Sirius started, skepticism giving way to genuine concern as he closed his potions textbook - much to the chagrin of Lily Evans. 

“She’s - fucking hells this school has so many godsdamned stairs - she’s gotten into it with Mulciber and Avery” a deep, desperate breath “in the dungeons.” 

“Gotten…into it?” James asked as he, too, closed his potions textbook. 

“Stole their wands and went at them in a muggle brawl.” 

Whatever reaction Peter thought he was about to get, it wasn’t the bark of laughter that left Sirius. 

“Brilliant, the dungeons you say? Who’s up for a show?” He drawled as he lazily packed up his belongings. 

“I…what?” Peter asked as some of the pink began melting from his cheeks. “Did…you not hear me? She’s brawling with Mulciber and Avery.”

”Oh I heard you.” Sirius laughed, even garnering a cautious look from James as Remus and Lily shared one of their own. 

“Shouldn’t we…help her?” James asked, earning him a derisive scoff from his friend.

”She doesn’t need help.” 

“She’s taking on two older blokes.” Lily argued, finding herself unconsciously packing up her own homework as well. 

A somewhat pleased and proud smile seemed to take over the oldest Black’s face. “Right you are, Red; she also grew up with two brother’s and I can assure you, she is not afraid to fight dirty.” 

Lily reluctantly nodded her head in understanding at that; siblings, and what-have-you. 

“Have you told Reg yet?” Sirius asked seemingly apropos of nothing. 

“Have I- what?” Peter sputtered. “Mate, I came running here to tell you ‘cause I was convinced your sister was suicidal!”

”Oi! Reggie!” Sirius hollered instead of gracing Peter with a response, earning him militant shushing from Madame Pince.

Regulus - wholly adverse to being called Reggie, being hollered at, and his brother in general - scowled at the Gryffindor. 

“Sunny’s in a fight.” Sirius continued, seemingly unawares of his brother’s ire. 

“With who?” Regulus asked quickly, ire forgotten as he closed his own textbook, forcing Rosier and Meadows to lift their heads in interest as well. 

“Mulciber and Avery.”

Regulus let out a very inelegant snort of laughter as he threw his bag over his shoulder. ”Ten galleons she breaks Avery’s nose.”

”Remember how pissed mum was when she had to reset yours after you tried stealing Sunny’s Christmas candies?” Sirius asked as he bumped his brother’s shoulder. 

Regulus chuckled - near giggled, to everyone’s astonishment -  in response. “She was almost as mad as that time you had well defined teeth outlined on your arm when you tried those muggle wrestling moves on her.” 

“Broke the skin and everything, little witch.” Sirius spat, though his face screamed fondness as the two brother’s laughed and left the library together to find their rascally sister. 

“Huh.” James let out; the same expression adorning his face as when he listened to the professor explain complicated Runes to him. “Who knew brotherly bonding only required their sister to pick a fight.” 

“I doubt she started it,” Remus chuckled as the four friends followed after the brothers, “but it sounds like she’s gonna finish it.”

ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀ’s ɴᴏᴛᴇ: Holy shit. Look at me starting strong with a stalker Barty… And considering I am the self-proclaimed love of his life, I thought it was fitting. Anyways, this is a concept I’d definitely love to explore in the future. Let me know what you think! ᡣ𐭩

⋆｡°✩ Concept: Stalker!Barty

Alright, so, I finished reading Lights Out by Navessa Allen recently and since my mind automatically goes to everything Marauders related, I asked myself: Out of everyone in the Marauders Era, who would most be like Josh?

The only person who came to mind was, of course, none other than Barty Crouch Jr. There are several reasons for this… Let me explain.

Imagine:

Modern AU where technology becomes prevalent in everyday life, including in the wizarding community.

Barty Crouch Jr, the son of a well-known politician who favors his public image and reputation over everything else, having absolutely no online presence due to his father’s strict rules.

However, despite this, he’s drawn to muggle technology and since his father is not only emotionally absent but also neglectful, he’s essentially left to his own devices. Which gives him the perfect opportunity to explore his interest in tech (and develop an anonymous online persona—we’ll come back to this in a moment).

Canonically speaking, Barty is one of the most brilliant people in the Harry Potter series. He was sorted into Ravenclaw and received all twelve O.W.L.s. Not to mention, he was also able to live as Mad-Eye Moody under Polyjuice potion for months without being detected.

With this information in mind, it’s safe to say he would be quite skilled in the field of technology. It wouldn’t take long for him to hone his abilities.

Now, back to the anonymous online persona, I feel like it would be safe to assume that Barty would have quite the rebellious streak. He, truthfully, could not care less about his father’s reputation. However, in order to avoid the man’s wrath (because let’s be real, Bartemius Sr was most definitely an abusive piece of shit) and with the growing popularity of masked accounts online, he seizes his opportunity to participate in the trend.

This ultimately leads to him becoming one of the most popular accounts, but the attention he garnishes is nothing more than an ego boost to him. That is until someone eventually catches his eye.

Personally, I’ve always thought that it would be possible for Barty to have undiagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), which can lead to obsessive tendencies (extending towards platonic relationships, not just romantic).

This man would also be the type to have avoidant attachment issues due to the lack of care regarding his emotional needs as a child.

So, when his attention is caught by this individual online, his thoughts are literally consumed by them.

Through the usage of technology and his vast understanding of it, the stalking would start small. With a quick search about them online he would be able to start compiling information regarding their interests, the locations they frequent, their personal relationships, etc.

Of course, this behavior would quickly escalate.

Remember, Barty has an anonymous online persona. Nobody—not even his closest friends—knows of the identity behind his masked account, so this would give him a major advantage. He would have the ability to “coincidentally” appear in the places this individual visits most often.

Which, in turn, allows him to develop a personal relationship with his victim.

Unfortunately for Barty, due to his struggles with BPD, I do believe he would find it difficult to establish a relationship with them at first. After all, he’s quite standoffish person when it comes to new people.

However, equipped with the knowledge he gained through his online stalking, he would be able to use this to his advantage to slowly gain their trust.

In my opinion, it would only be when he establishes a bond with his victim that the monitoring begins.

Perhaps he gifts them something small, such as a key chain or hair clip that actually has a tracker inside of it… Or, once he finally is invited over and places inconspicuous cameras around their home, allowing him footage from every angle.

There are honestly so many things that could be done with Barty as a stalker (and I intend to explore them all).
