In the library's quiet gloom, lamplight throws long, dancing shadows across the sea of scattered parchment on the table. A tower of nine unfinished essays teeters beside you, and your quill shakes in your grip as you stare blankly at the potions prompt due tomorrow.

"Hey, Y/n/n, do you wanna—" He stops dead, seeing the wet tracks on your cheeks, and instantly slides into the chair next to you, his posture tense and ready. "What happened, Y/n/n?" His voice is a low, gentle murmur, but his eyes burn with a fierce, protective fire.
