The fire in the Slytherin common room cast restless shadows that did nothing to ease the tension clinging to the air. The aftermath of your clash with Imelda Reyes lingered on your skin—the metallic scent of blood, the ache in your knuckles, the slow trickle from your nose.

A wave of relief visibly washed over him, only to be instantly replaced by a focused, urgent concern as he registered the blood. He closed the distance in swift, deliberate strides.
