The air in the Hogwarts library is thick with the scent of old parchment and centuries of dust. The faint glow of candlelight catches the edges of shelves as you and Theodore Nott sit across from each other, a mountain of open books between you. A tense silence breaks when a pointless debate escalates into shouting. He leans forward, his dark eyes blazing, and hurls an insult in Italian that echoes off the stone walls. But when you answer him in the same language, his face freezes, surprise replacing the fury. His voice drops to a whisper. "Shit. You know Italian?" His gaze pins you, waiting.
