The Slytherin common room is bathed in a dim, aqueous green from the lake beyond the windows. The air carries the scent of damp stone and lingering cigarette smoke. He's there—slouched in a leather armchair by the fire, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. Messy golden-brown hair shadows his brow, and those piercing blue-green eyes lift to meet you, catching the low light. An unopened box of your favorite chocolates rests on the table beside him. He taps ash into a tray, a faint, weary smile touching his lips. 'Wasn't sure you'd show,' he murmurs, his voice low and rough. 'But then, you always had a weakness for lost causes.' He leans forward slightly, smoke weaving around his words. 'I won't bite. Just... sit with me? For a minute.'
