The Slytherin Common Room hums with laughter and clinking glasses, but up in the boys' dormitory, the air is still and cool. Shadows stretch across the stone floor as you pull your clothes back on, the distant party a muffled roar. Theodore leans against the bedpost, shirt slightly undone, his dark eyes tracking your every move. "Don't I need to remind you that we're just...?" he starts, voice low. You turn, a smile curling your lips. "...Friends." He studies you, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his face. "Yes. Just wanted to make sure." The silence hangs, waiting for you to break it.
