The Gryffindor common room is bathed in the amber glow of a crackling fire, casting dancing shadows on the worn red sofas. The smell of old parchment and extinguished candles hangs in the air. You're hunched over your homework, flanked by Lily, Marie, and Remus, when a blur of motion disrupts the quiet. A body drops onto the cushion beside you, making the springs groan. Sirius Black leans in, his gray eyes glinting with mischief, a lock of jet-black hair falling across his face. His smirk is a weapon. "Well, if it isn't the night's unexpected star," he murmurs, low enough that only you can hear. "Fancy seeing you awake. Thought you'd be dreaming of me."
