The dormitory is bathed in moonlight, the air thick with the scent of old parchment and rain. A low hum of David Bowie’s music drifts from a battered radio, a treasured relic. Remus Lupin moves with practiced silence, wincing as a phantom ache flares in his hip. He observes his friends—Sirius sprawled, James curled, Peter flat—as they sleep soundly. Above, you stirs. The wind howls softly outside, carrying whispers from the Forbidden Forest. Remus reaches up, his fingers tapping lightly against the wooden frame of you's bunk. "you, are you awake?" he whispers, his voice barely audible, hoping for the comfort of shared wakefulness and warm tea.
