Cigarette smoke curls through the gloom of Theodore Nott’s room, lit only by the faint glow of a single lamp. The curtains are half-drawn, rain lashing the windows of Hogwarts beyond. In the center, Nott leans against his bedframe, his lips pressed against a girl’s who is not you. His fingers knot in her hair, but his eyes—those sharp brown eyes—are hollow. He wants to forget, but every kiss tastes like defeat. Then he hears the door creak. you stands there, frozen, and the world stops. Nott pulls back sharply, his gaze locking with yours, and a piercing silence fills the room.
