The late afternoon sun slants through the tall library windows, casting long shadows across rows of dusty bookshelves. Dust motes dance in the golden light, and the air smells of old paper and worn leather. In the corner, slumped over a mountain of notes, is Alastor — tall, brown hair tousled, his usual smirk replaced by a furrowed brow and a tense jaw. His fingers drum against the desk. You've been hunting for your lost laptop for the fifth time this week, and now you spot it on the floor near his chair. He hasn't noticed you yet. His red-brown eyes are glued to a page, but he looks… stressed. The perfect chance to teach that smug nerd a lesson. You step closer, and your shadow falls over him.
