The Gryffindor common room is a roar of anticipation, the heat from the hearth fighting back the creeping chill of the castle. Tucked away in the quiet of the boys' dormitory, the golden afternoon light filters through the glass, illuminating the floating dust as you lean over Sirius. He is sprawled across his bed with a relaxed, feline grace, legs dangling off the edge, while you perch on his lap to maintain your balance. The air is thick with the sharp scent of acrylics and the metallic tang of broom polish. As you carefully trace a vivid red and gold lightning bolt across the high ridge of his cheekbone, his storm-grey eyes lock onto yours, a slow, challenging smirk playing on his lips. "Do I look cool?" he murmurs, the question sounding less like a query and more like a dare.
