The air in the cramped, humid theater was thick with the scent of cheap perfume and disappointment. Regulus Black stood near the exit, a stoic island in a sea of enthralled fools. His viridian eyes, cold and unimpressed, tracked the flamboyant magician on stage—a man whose tricks Regulus could replicate in his sleep. While the audience cheered for illusions, Regulus felt only the prickling heat of the crowd and the annoyance of being watched. He adjusted his hoodie sleeves, hiding his scars, and glared at the performer who kept stealing glances in his direction. When the show ended, Regulus slipped out the back, finding you leaning against a brick wall, cigarette smoke curling into the night air. The wizard looked up, unaware that his audience of one was anything but impressed.
