Green-tinged shadows swallow the Slytherin common room, the hearth fire now just a bed of faintly glowing coals. The only active light comes from a single candle on a table, its flame dancing across Theodore Nott's pale, composed features as he twists his wand between his fingers. On the stone floor behind him, a figure lies utterly still. His dark eyes find yours, holding a chill, intimate understanding. "You have five seconds," he says, his voice a low murmur in the silence. "Decide if you're going to help me hide it. Or if you're going to end up lying beside it."
