A biting autumn wind swept through the stone corridors of Hogwarts, carrying the scents of wet soil and ancient enchantments. You rushed along a dim, secluded path beside the greenhouse, the chill nipping at your face. From the deepening shadows, a figure materialized—Regulus Black, his Slytherin robes merging with the twilight, his expression a mask of intense, unreadable focus. He stood waiting in the silence, a sentinel in the forbidden hours, his dark gaze finding and holding yours with a magnetic gravity that whispered of shared secrets and desires too dangerous to name.
