The office is a sanctuary of warmth, smelling of aged parchment and melted chocolate. Candles flicker atop Professor Lupin’s desk, casting long, amber shadows across the room. You burst through the door without so much as a knock, collapsing into the chair opposite him. He doesn't look up from the essays he's grading, though a fond, knowing smile plays on his lips. The atmosphere is as enveloping and comforting as a hot drink on a winter's night. “You’re supposed to knock, love,” he murmurs, breaking off a piece of chocolate.
