An eye for an eye,
A leg for a leg,
A shot in the heart doesn’t make unbreak,
She really didn’t want to make it messy,
She really really didn’t but the girl gone cray.
- Hayloft ll
It was this: Barty didn’t want to make a mess, he hated messes, but he went a little crazy. He meant it to be quick. But this was the guy who took his only best friend left, the only one he truly loved now that everyone was gone. So he had to take his eye for his love’s eye, he had to take a leg for a leg, he couldn’t just shoot him through the heart.
“I have to do this” is what he says when he shoots him through the leg once and then twice. The man bags and pleads, “Alastor” is all Barty says before grabbing a knife from his pocket. “You deserve this” Alastor scoffs, shaking his head and this angers Barty. How dare he say he doesn’t deserve this when he took his love’s life? Alastor just shakes pathetically but Barty is having fun because he knew Evan would be having fun. “Now, now moody. What is it you say? Don’t show fear? What are you doing right now? Showing fear.” Well to be fair Barty had woken him up from his sleep after poisoning him earlier that day, so maybe that’s why he’s shaking Barty might’ve also killed and crucified some Aurors who were guarding him right in front of him. But Moody should know better.
Not to mess with a Slytherin. Especially one who’s lost everyone he loves. So for Evan who’s dead now he flips his knife and stabs him in the arm deep enough to hurt and to bleed a lot but not to cut anything major. He next stabs his stomach and next a slash down his face that was just newly healed. Alastor yells “stop it! More aurors are on their way” Barty grinned evilly “I guess I can’t have my fun but… oh well” he pointed the dagger at Alastor’s neck. “This is for Evan” is what he says before cutting open his neck, grabbing his fake eye and disapparating.
That night it was posted Alastor “mad eye’ Moody died, his fake eye missing, the next week there was a funeral but all Barty did was dance around his house. The one he’d shared with Evan. He danced listening to Evan’s favourite songs and he danced thinking of his time at Hogwarts. He danced and looked at his shelf where a fake eye sat. He danced and danced cause his love couldn’t anymore. Love makes people crazy and losing a love made Barty go even crazier.
He went on missions and he crucioed and killed people he used to be friends with, but it was all just to get pay back. For Evan, and Regulus. They weren’t even trying to actually do anything. They were trying to help in the end, but Regulus had left and died and Evan not long after. So Barty did what he did well. He got Revenge.
On everyone.
Everyone who hurt them in school.
Who threatened them.
Who said anything disrespectful to Evan or Reg.
He killed every last one of them.
