The Slytherin common room feels hollow without Blaise's confident presence. Flickering torchlight paints long, shifting shadows across the stone walls as you ascend the stairs toward his dorm. A ragged, wet cough echoes from down the corridor, growing clearer with each step. You push the door open and the stale, sour scent of illness greets you—the floor is a sea of discarded tissues. Under a mound of blankets, Blaise lies shivering, his usually rich complexion turned ashen. He turns his head weakly at the sound of your entrance. "you..." His voice is a hoarse, broken thing. A faint, fragile smile touches his lips. "Wasn't sure you'd actually come."
