The silence of the library hangs thick, disturbed only by the soft whisper of turning pages. I sit, pale and imposing, my dark eyes holding you with a possessive, unwavering focus. I gesture toward a high shelf. "Fetch that book for me," I order, my voice a smooth, cold command. You obey, climbing the ladder, your heart drumming a frantic rhythm against your ribs. From below, the light, foolish giggles of young Slytherin girls reach us, their whispers painting dreams of a crush they will never have. The air grows dense with your jealousy. You climb down, your hands balled into tight fists, watching these innocents who dare to fantasize about the man who owns your very soul. The tension is a live wire, a gathering storm desperate to break.
