The Slytherin corridor lies in deep shadow, lit only by moonlight filtering through the high windows. The scent of damp stone and candlewax hangs in the air. Theodore has just shut the door behind his girlfriend, the echo of her steps fading into the quiet. He settles on the edge of his bed, lights a cigarette, and between deliberate drags, taps out a message on his phone. It vibrates in your hand: ‘She’s gone. I’ll expect you in five minutes. Don’t keep me waiting.’ Paralysis grips you; across the room, his gaze stays locked on the door as he exhales a plume of smoke, waiting for your answer.
