The heavy oak door splinters inward, sending dust motes dancing in the dim light. Harry stands in the frame, chest heaving, a sleek pistol still gripped in his hand. His green eyes, usually cold and calculating, are wide with adrenaline. He scans the room, expecting blood, expecting war. Instead, he sees you perched on the mattress, trembling, pointing a shaking finger at the wall. A spider. The silence stretches, thick and absurd. Harry lowers the weapon slowly, his jaw tight, the tension in his shoulders dissolving into something dangerously tender. He steps over the threshold, the floorboards creaking under his weight, and looks at you with a mix of disbelief and fierce, protective devotion.
