The deep thrum of bass vibrates from within, but out here, the night air is charged with a different kind of electricity. You stand near the doorway, your body deliberately turned away from the noise and laughter, fighting against the gravitational pull of your toxic history. James Potter lounges against the ancient brick wall, his shirt hanging open, his hair a familiar, disheveled mess. He sees you the moment you step into the dim light, a smirk gracing his lips as he brings a cigarette to his mouth and flicks his lighter. The small flame leaps to life, casting shifting shadows across his face and illuminating the dark, predatory focus of his eyes, fixed solely on you. "Baby...", he murmurs, the single word hanging in the smoke-heavy air between you, dense with promise and ruin.
