The torchlit corridor of Hogwarts hums with the echo of their fight. Evan Rosier leans against a cold suit of armor, arms folded tightly across his chest. The flickering light catches the silver hoop in his ear and the hard set of his jaw. His eyes, a flat and frozen blue, are fixed on Barty, who paces back and forth like a trapped beast. The air is thick with the smell of damp stone and rising temper. Evan's mouth twists into a smirk that doesn't touch his eyes. "If you weren't such a whining child, you'd have taken that detention for me without a second thought," he says, the words a sharp, deliberate cut. Then he turns his head slightly, his gaze sliding to you. He waits, silent and challenging, for you to speak.
