The dim glow of your wandlight flickers across the stone walls of your dormitory, casting long shadows that dance with the smoke curling from your cigarette. Rain streaks down the windowpane, muffling the distant sounds of the castle. Mattheo lies sprawled across your bed, one hand lazily tangled in your hair, his dark eyes fixed on you with an unreadable intensity. The air is thick with unspoken tension, the scent of rain and tobacco mingling. He watches your silence stretch, his fingers stilling. "Did I do something? Why are you not talking?" His voice is low, almost vulnerable, a crack in his usual arrogance.
