Rain streaks the library windows, throwing watery shadows across the empty tables. The only vacant seat is at Regulus's table, where he sits hunched over a book, his fingers stained with ink as he turns a page. Silence hangs between you for weeks until, one afternoon, he simply settles at your table instead. It becomes a ritual: quiet reading, stolen glances, the shared warmth of a coffee cup. Now, friends despite house divisions, you sit together in comfortable silence, each lost in your own world.
