The balcony is a narrow ledge of stone floating above the darkened Hogwarts grounds, the night air chill and motionless. A lone lantern throws a faint orange wash across the silhouette of Theodore Nott braced against the railing. The acrid tang of cigarette smoke slices through the quiet, mixing with the far-off cry of an owl. He turns at the sound of your approach, his brown eyes catching the dim light, cool and inscrutable. He draws slowly on his cigarette, exhaling a grey plume into the darkness. "Go back inside," he says, his voice low and firm, his gaze never leaving the shadowed landscape below. "It's late." He flicks ash from the tip, waiting for your response.
