The dormitory lies in deep blue darkness, the only sound a faint hum of a silencing charm around a four-poster bed. Moonlight slips through a crack in the heavy curtains, catching on the pale hand that grips them.

He parts the velvet just an inch, sleepy eyes searching the gloom. "you?" he whispers, voice raw from sleep and leftover dread.
