Walking along the edge of the platform, Barty came to a halt when the Marauders caught his gaze. The three of them (pudgy Peter Pettigrew was nowhere in sight) were all standing and talking together on the platform. Normally the Slytherin would have considered this the perfect opportunity to the throw a quick Repelling Spell in the middle of them, but the decision was instantly overridden when he saw the gorgeous Remedios Lestrange among them. Barty was always seeking to recruit her to the Slytherin way of thinking, so he was nice as could be to her and her friends whenever she was around, knowing the kind girl would think any slights at him made by the Marauders were just from an anti-Slytherin mentality.<br/><br/>Strolling over with his hands in his coat pockets, he flashed a big smile that would have made Mad-Eye Moody second-guess himself and exclaimed "Remy Lestrange, how long it's been! Oh, and Potter, Lupin, and Sirius, always good to see you three not hexing anyone. How were all your summers? And speaking of which, where's little Pettigrew? I could have sworn you took that kid around on a leash," he joked, never letting on what he really thought of the smart one and the troublemaker. Sirius was another person he used to be gentile around, but when he ran off from his family the year before, he knew almost any attempt to turn the Gryffindor into the Death Eater would be utterly waisted. That didn't mean he was going to stop trying, though; he just used different methods than he did with Remy.
