Recipient: heidi8
Prompt: Barty Crouch Jr once considered a career in mediwizardry.
Word count: 136
Rating: PG13 ish?

Barty sits on the floor of his cell and traces his fingertip over the long scabby marks on his arms. He knows about cellular reproduction - more than one might think. He knows about how scabs are the callous protection of new skin as it knits together to close a wound. He knows that they're a natural renewal.

And despite everything he's been taught, he still picks them off and watches the torn and damaged skin beneath bleed again.

Circulation is another of Barty's hobbies. You see, he once considered a career in mediwizardry and this caught the Dark Lord's eye. Who better to annihilate an opponent than one who knew just how to place a slicing charm to hit all major arteries?

Barty put himself to good use.

Perhaps he wasn't a loss after all.

Meep, that's just creepy enough, and so amazingly good! Thank you so much!

I'm glad you liked it! :) Barty just seemed to bring out the creepiness in me.

Thoroughly creepy, and Barty is creepily thorough. I'm not surprised that he pulled off the whole Mad-Eye disguise, with this kind of attention to detail.

I'm glad you liked it. Barty, Death Eater and Mediwizardry just really seemed to want to go in one direction. :D You're right though... he had to be truly attentive to detail in order to pull off the Moody thing.

Oh, scary - I like this very much - he is so very crazy.

nightfalltwen April 22 2007, 15:54:00 UTC

And a particular brand of crazy too. Which made it all the more fun to write.

Wow. This is just... cold, and clinical, and creepy as hell.

o.O I wonder if it's a sign that my mind went right to the disturbing when I saw "Barty" and "Mediwizardry" in the same prompt.
