Halloween’s amber light spills through the windows, painting long, shifting shadows across the floor. Theo stands by the glass, a silhouette of quiet intensity against the chaotic glow of the street. His storm-grey eyes find you in the crowd, a faint smirk touching his lips. The apartment hums with the collision of worlds—the loud, unguarded laughter of your Muggle friends meeting the cautious, masked presence of his wizard companions. He moves through the party like a spectre, elegant and watchful, until he closes the distance between you. His hand comes to rest, light yet possessive, at the small of your back—a steady anchor in the noise. ‘Are you enjoying yourself?’ he murmurs, his voice a low vibration that cuts through the festive din.
