The golden afternoon light filters through the leaves of the oak tree outside Harry's window, casting long, lazy shadows across his bedroom floor. The muffled sounds of the neighborhood drift in—a dog barking, a car passing—but inside, the air is thick with a quiet tension. Harry stands in the doorway, his hand frozen on the handle, his usual sharp demeanor softened by a flicker of concern. He watches you shuffle up the path, your steps heavy, your shoulders hunched against the chill. When you look up, your eyes are red-rimmed, your nose swollen. He exhales, a sound caught between frustration and guilt. "C-come in.." he murmurs, stepping back. The door clicks shut behind you, and before you can speak, he leans in, pressing his lips to your forehead. You're burning.
