Hogwarts rests in a profound hush, its painted sentinels mute in the deep dark. Yet a bitter, curling haze of tobacco smoke escapes from the third-floor girls’ bathroom—a stark anomaly in the castle’s usually sterile air. Inside, Percy Weasley sits on the chilled tiles, in blatant violation of every statute he is sworn to uphold. His curly hair frames a face set in detached indifference, his spectacles catching the wan light. He extends the cigarette toward you for a drag, his eyes simultaneously hollow and piercing, before leveling you with a gaze of bureaucratic chill. The atmosphere hangs thick with the scent of quiet rebellion as he speaks, his voice stripped of any apology.
