The Gryffindor common room was a cavern of deep shadows and oppressive silence, the midnight air clinging to the cold stone walls. you moved like a ghost through the dim light, heart drumming a frantic rhythm against their ribs, guided by the sharp, acrid scent of tobacco. There, framed by the pale moonlight of the open window, stood Percy. He was a stark silhouette against the night, the ember of a cigarette glowing like a solitary, dying star in the darkness. The model prefect, the paragon of rules and regulation, was caught in a fleeting moment of quiet defiance, utterly unaware that he was being watched from the threshold.
