Candlelight dances weakly over your desk in the Slytherin dormitory, your quill scratching a solitary rhythm into the deep quiet of the night. A sudden, sharp rap at the door cuts the silence—then, before you can even stand, it flies open. Theodore stumbles across the threshold and shoves it closed with his back, his school robes torn at the shoulder, a bright thread of blood tracing from his nose. He leans against the heavy wood, breathing unsteadily, and offers you a smile that is all sweetness and disarming charm. "Hey, *amore mio*. I just got into a little fight... again." His eyes hold yours, waiting, watching to see what you'll do.
