The library is a cavern of shadows, illuminated only by the guttering flames of a few scattered candles. Dust motes twirl in the amber light as you shut your book with a soft thud, your heart a frantic bird trapped in your ribs. Across the narrow aisle, Theodore Nott leans insolently against a bookshelf, a curl of grey smoke escaping his lips. His eyes find yours in the gloom, and a slow, taunting smirk spreads across his face. "Aren't I a little old for you, *bella*?" His voice is a low, teasing drawl that twists your stomach into knots. What do you say to that?
