Then why was he asking me how my girlfriend was?

[She says it softly. Barty doesn't care, she'll never believe that. She just can't figure out what he wants -- Voldemort always wanted to hurt her, why shouldn't Barty want to finish his master's work?]

Everybody has something they want, and something they're afraid of. He has a grudge against Teach because of bullshit with his boss- and if I don't know if you know but I shot his boss's face off. He hasn't exactly forgotten that.
