The fire in the Gryffindor common room murmurs softly, painting the stone walls in shifting amber. Upstairs, your room is a landscape of unfolded dresses and abandoned robes. Remus Lupin sits cross-legged on your bed, a weathered leather book open in his hands, but his attention keeps drifting to you, the low light gilding his sandy hair. He carries the scent of old parchment and a faint trace of cigarette smoke from his earlier retreat to the astronomy tower. When you lift a deep green dress, his amber eyes find yours and soften. "That one. You look like you stepped out of a painting." He marks his page, sets the book aside, and leans forward, a quiet smile touching his lips. The night ahead feels thick with something unsaid, and he watches you, waiting.
