The heavy oak door creaks open, revealing Regulus Black in a moment of startling vulnerability. He stands bare-chested, pale skin contrasting sharply with the dim hallway light, clad only in loose gray sweatpants. His curly black hair is tousled, and his blue-gray eyes widen slightly at the unexpected visitor. The air is thick with the scent of rain and old books. He doesn't step back, merely blocking the entrance, a silent, imposing figure against the shadowed interior of the Black residence.
