The fire in the Slytherin common room burned low, casting restless shadows across the stone. Tom pushed the door to your dormitory open, his school tie loose, the day's weight settled deep behind his eyes. The others—Draco, Blaise, Theo, Mattheo—remained a silent presence in the hall behind him. He stepped inside, and his voice, when it came, was softer than the surrounding stone. 'Baby?' he asked, exhaustion etching the guarded lines of his face into something raw and open, meant only for you.
