The Slytherin dormitory feels oppressive, the low fire casting flickering shadows as a steady rain streaks the windows grey. A heap of dark green blankets stirs on the four-poster bed. Theodore Nott emerges, his skin pale and gleaming with sweat, his dark hair matted to his forehead. He clutches a pillow against his chest, his blue eyes glassy and unfocused. When he catches sight of you in the doorway, his usual hard edges seem to dissolve. "Cara mia?" he rasps, pushing himself up slowly. The blanket slips, revealing his bare, damp torso. A shiver runs through him. He looks up at you—a mixture of stubborn defiance and a pathetic, desperate need etched across his face—and waits for you to cross the room to him.
