Barty's in the bar; he's walked down from his room, this time, instead of apparating. He orders a glass of water and a sandwich - nothing too expensive as he still hasn't managed to get any money - and sits down at a table to eat.

*Tom decides to change the subject.*

Enjoying your stay? Finding it nicer than Azkaban?

Don't get too comfortable.

You know what I'm saying.

Perhaps an Auror from your time will walk through that door soon. That's all it will take. You never know who might come here next.

My name and my face are not well known in our world, and I have allies here. Powerful ones. And I am not the wizard that is wanted. He is. Not I.

*He frowns, trying very hard to not let the boy get under his skin.*

I've told Tonks.

*About some of them.*

Door knows, as well. A few others here know, and have given me a chance anyway. I've proven myself to them.

*Even Door has never received a detailed account.*

*Tom gives him a point blank stare. He is a ruthless man, and even though he's changed, he won't be trapped in his past evils.*

They'd be looking for someone else. The curse I used made it appear the victim died of fright. When I killed my father and grandparents, the constables couldn't even hold the Muggle scapegoat they'd charged.

*Try harder, boy. I'm not impressed.*

And as long as you stay innocent, you should have a grand time.

There's the rub, Barty.

*He sneers as he says his name.*

I don't trust you because I was you. Well, similar to you, anyway.

*I was much superior.*

What are those principles, exactly? I'd love to hear my alternate self's deranged viewpoints forty years on.

Pity. I'd like to know what you think about Voldemort being a half-blood.

Interesting cases. Funny, that's not what they call them in Slytherin House.

Muggle father, witch mother. You follow with every ounce of devotion someone whose blood is befouled by that which you hate most.

Interesting views. Most interesting.

I should have suspected you were a Ravenclaw. When they go bad, they do so with such logical intensity.

You've shared your fervor with me, Crouch, but what I want to know is this. What do you plan to do about your most interesting views here?

I have somthing of a vested interest, seeing as how you follow a version of me. I'd hate to be further bad-mouthed to those who don't know me well here.

*When fighting those who are evil, sometimes one must resort to practices that are not quite morally upright. In the game of power amongst evildoers, one also must show supremacy, or so Tom thinks.

He makes eye contact with Barty and says, very quietly:*

Legilimens.

*He punches through Berty's defenses, not quite as easily as he thought he would, and then withdraws his powers quickly. He didn't look for any specific memories or insights; he merely wanted to show the younger man he could do so, if he'd wanted.*

No, I haven't the right, but as you said - any means to an end. Milliways is a haven, and it is like a home to me.

I will fight to protect it, boy, and those I love. I promise you, if it comes to it, I will fight dirty, changed man or no.

It's good to hear we can agree on something.

*He feels uneasy, to be honest, showing his power like that. It used to be he'd not have given it a second thought.

He doesn't regret doing it, though.*
