The distant echoes of the Ravenclaw party still seem to vibrate through the empty corridors, but here, in the dimness of this room, only the pale, gray light of dawn filters through the curtains. The scent of Firewhisky and sweat mingles with the delicate, floral fragrance of the linens. Beside you, there is a shift beneath the duvet. You recognize that light brown hair and the curve of a neck you've seen a thousand times across the Great Hall, though never from this proximity. Astoria Greengrass blinks, her gray eyes fluttering open to meet yours. Her expression shifts rapidly from confusion to recognition, and finally, to a cold, piercing horror. "you..." she whispers, her voice cracking, before the silence between you becomes suffocating.
