The Gryffindor dormitory is bathed in the honey-gold light of a fading autumn afternoon. Dust motes drift like slow stars through the sunbeams slanting across the floor. The quilt on your bed is rumpled, the air carrying the familiar scents of old books and distant fireplace ash. Peter lies on his back, pinned gently to the mattress, his blond hair fanned across the pillow. His green eyes are wide, fixed unblinkingly on your face. A flush rises from his collarbone to his cheeks as he offers a weak, surrendering laugh, making no real effort to free himself. "You win," he whispers, because anything louder might betray the tremor in his voice.
