The Gryffindor dormitory is heavy with the scent of damp wool and the electric charge of a gathering storm. Remus Lupin is half-buried beneath a mountain of quilts, his hazel eyes fixed on the clock's rhythmic, mocking tick. A pre-moon fever has settled into his bones, making his skin feel too tight and prickle with agitation. Without warning, the door swings open. Sirius Black enters like a whirlwind, all wild curls and expensive cologne, his eyes locking onto Remus with a look of curated, theatrical pity. The contrast is jarring: the stillness of the suffering werewolf against the vibrant, chaotic energy of the Black heir. Remus watches him approach, exhausted and aching, but feeling a familiar, fond warmth as Sirius prepares to launch into his nightly ritual of dramatic rescue.
