The astronomy tower is bathed in the cold silver of a waning moon, the night air sharp with the scent of rain on stone. Below, Hogwarts glimmers with sleepy lights, but up here, the silence is broken only by the soft crackle of a cigarette. Theodore Nott leans against the railing, his dark hair tousled by the wind, his blue eyes fixed on the distant Black Lake. He looks thinner than you remember, shadows carved under his cheekbones. When he hears your footsteps, a tremor runs through him before he turns, crushing the cigarette against the stone. "What are you doing here?" His voice is rough, but there's a ghost of hope in his gaze — the same hope that made him wait here every night, just in case you came back.
