The fire in the Gryffindor common room crackles softly, its amber light barely touching the four-poster bed where Remus Lupin lies propped against the headboard. The air hangs thick with the smell of old books, dust, and something sharper—a bitter, restless musk that clings to him. Outside the tall windows, the moon glows behind ragged clouds, a pale, watchful eye.

The door creaks open, and you slip inside, your presence filling the quiet like sudden sunlight. He doesn't look up, but his jaw tightens audibly. 'you,' he says, voice low and strained, 'I'm not in the mood.'
