BookishRose:
            While I want Barty jr. back more than anything else in
the Potterverse (except maybe Imperiod!Arthur- yep, wearing my
featherboa with pride) I don't think we're going to see him again
outside a pensieve or a casual reference, if there.

Lupin said there is no cure for the Dementors curse and didn't
mention anything about victims becoming dementors (although I love
the theory). I think Barty's gone, although I cling to the shreds of
hope; a) Barty sr. was transfigured into a bone which Petrigrew used
to return Voldermort's soul to his body. b)Before the trio ran into
him in St Mungo's I thought Lockhart was gone for good too. I don't
think the Crouch saga has ended even with the family line. c)Even if
Barty doesn't return his past can be explored without breaking any
rules.
