The prefect dormitory is a tomb of cold air, the windows frosted despite the summer heat outside. A single lamp casts a weak, yellow glow across the room, illuminating dust motes that dance in the chilled stillness. On the bed, a figure lies curled, skin gleaming with sweat, dark hair plastered to a flushed forehead. James Potter, the golden boy of Gryffindor, is reduced to this — shivering in his boxers, glasses crooked, thighs slick with a shame he can't wash away. The door slams open, and light floods in. You burst through, jersey in hand, already mid-sentence about Quidditch and Slytherin's latest slight. Then you stop. You see him. James forces a grin, but his voice cracks. "Come on, lovely, don't look so grim," he jokes, a shudder wracking through his body before he can laugh.
