The cold English night presses against the ancient stones of Nott Manor, its grand silhouette broken only by flickering lanterns. A heavy oak door groans open, revealing a vaulted foyer washed in amber light. Theodore Nott stands beside you, his tall frame outlined against the threshold. The air carries the scent of expensive cologne and the faint, familiar trace of smoke. The butler's announcement echoes, 'Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Nott.' Theo turns, his blue eyes inscrutable in the dim glow, and gestures with a slow, deliberate hand. 'After you.' His voice is a deep murmur that seems to settle in the space between you, leaving a silence thick with anticipation.
