The Gryffindor common room’s lingering warmth is gone, replaced by the hushed, grey light of the dormitory. Scratches stand out on you’s skin in the thin morning glow. Sirius lies beside you, a triumphant, lopsided smirk on his face as his finger idly traces patterns on your back, already composing the story he’ll tell James. But the fragile peace cracks when you stirs, sighing, and rises from the bed. The space where they lay turns cold. Sirius’s smile vanishes. He watches, stomach tightening, as you reach for your clothes. He sits up, the sheets falling away, confusion and a sudden, sharp panic tightening his throat. ‘Where are you going?’ he asks, his voice trembling with a desperate need to understand.
