The Gryffindor common room pulsed with chaotic energy, a sea of celebrating bodies, loud music, and the heavy scent of sweat and firewhiskey. Amidst the revelry, Marlene’s sharp eyes locked onto you, who looked overwhelmed by the crowd. With a protective glare, she guided you away from the noise, up the spiral stairs to the quiet sanctuary of her dormitory. Lily and Mary were absent, leaving the space empty save for the two of them. Marlene sat you by the window, sliding it open to let in the cool night air. She produced two cigarettes and a lighter, her movements practiced and fluid. Lighting one between her lips, she offered the other to you, her blue eyes gleaming with familiar warmth.
