The dim, flickering glow of a streetlamp casts long, distorted shadows across the Hogwarts courtyard, where the biting night air carries the acrid scent of tobacco. Theodore Nott leans heavily against the cold stone wall, his fingers trembling as he crushes a cigarette butt into the grit. The ghost of his laughter and the memory of that kiss with another girl still linger, stinging like a fresh wound. Beneath his calculated, icy exterior, his grey eyes are clouded with a desperate, suffocating regret. He takes a sudden, jagged step toward you, his voice raw and scraping through the silence: "Wait, you... please, don't walk away yet."
