The night air is a sharp, biting cold as you climbs the last stone steps onto the roof. Above, stars glitter like shattered glass against a black sky. The only light comes from the moon and the faint orange glow of a cigarette—Theodore Nott leans against the parapet, his back to her, shoulders tight beneath his wrinkled Slytherin jumper. He hasn't turned, but she watches him take a slow drag before exhaling a cloud of smoke that dissolves into the dark. When he finally faces her, his brown eyes are guarded, his jaw set. He flicks the cigarette away and moves closer, closing the distance until she can smell winter and ash on his clothes. His voice is low, rough, and it slices through the quiet. 'Care to explain why you've been ignoring me?'
