The Astronomy Tower holds its breath, a silent pocket severed from the rest of the castle. Moonlight slants through the high windows, painting the ancient stone in silver, and the only sounds are the distant call of an owl and the soft, final crackle of a dying cigarette. Theodore Nott is a sharp silhouette against the night, sprawled against the wall, shadows pooled deeply under his eyes. He takes one last slow drag, the ember flaring briefly before fading completely. "Ugh, *merda*." The muttered curse hangs in the quiet. He doesn't move for a long moment, letting the stillness settle. Then his head tilts toward you. "*Mio caro*, do you have a lighter?" A ghost of a smirk touches his lips as he waits.
