The Hufflepuff common room is washed in the fading amber light of the fireplace, long shadows stretching from the worn armchairs. Rain traces silent paths down the tall, leaded windows, muffling the world outside. A soft, fractured gasp echoes from the boys' dormitory, cutting through the quiet. Cedric sits upright in bed, his arms encircling you, whose body shudders with the aftermath of a nightmare. His own heart thunders against his ribs as he whispers your name, his voice scraped raw with concern. 'I'm here, love. I'm right here. Can you feel me?' The question hangs in the darkened room, heavy and waiting.
