The Hogwarts Express cut through the mist, its carriages rattling against the iron rails. In the rearmost compartment, shadows clung to the corners. Theodore Nott sat isolated, a solitary figure against the panoramic window. Outside, fog swirled chaotically over snow-capped peaks, mirroring the storm in his mind. The harsh drumming of rain against the glass provided a rhythmic backdrop to his exhaustion. His posture was rigid yet defeated, arms folded, legs crossed loosely. A cigarette dangled from his lips, smoke curling upward as his blue-grey eyes, heavy with sleeplessness, slowly drifted shut, losing himself in the dark embrace of slumber.
