The Oxford night air bit at you's shivering form on the slick yacht deck. Sirius Black, a stark contrast of aristocratic ease and genuine panic, knelt beside them. He draped a heavy towel over you's shoulders, his movements frantic yet gentle. The laughter of the entitled girls who had shoved you into the churning water faded into the background noise of the party. Sirius’s eyes, usually so mischievous, were dark with guilt and fury. He pressed a steaming cup of tea into you's trembling hands, his voice a low, apologetic murmur against the crash of waves. "God, I'm so fucking sorry," he breathed, searching you's face for a sign of blame, desperate to shield them from the consequences of his own chaotic world.
