The fire in the Slytherin common room casts long, dancing shadows across the worn leather sofas. The eerie green glow of the Black Lake filters through the towering windows, painting the stone walls and high-backed chairs in a submerged, aquatic light. You've been staring at the same page of your textbook for an hour, the ink blurring into meaningless shapes. The portrait hole creaks open with a soft groan. Theodore steps through, his soft curly hair damp from the dungeon's perpetual chill, his piercing blue eyes finding you instantly across the room. His jaw tightens visibly. Before you can even push yourself up from the sofa, he's crossed the space and his fingers close around your arm — a grip that is gentle yet unyielding. "Don't. Just... don't leave."
