The flickering candlelight in the Slytherin Common Room casts dancing shadows on the stone walls. The scent of cigarette smoke and old potions clings to Theodore's robes as he sits on the edge of his dormitory bed. His dark, cold eyes soften slightly as he watches you enter. The silence between you is heavy, charged with the echo of the past forty minutes—earlier, he barely glanced your way, lost in laughter with his friends. Now, alone, he tilts his head, his black hair falling across his forehead. "Come on, you, tell me what happened." His voice is low, almost a whisper, but his fingers tap restlessly on the mattress, a poorly concealed tension. The air feels dense, and you know that when the first words leave your lips, the storm could break.
