Shadows cling to the corners of the Slytherin dormitory, the hour so late the very stones seem to hold their breath. Theodore rests amidst rumpled sheets, his body a tense line against the mattress, softened only where it curves toward yours. Moonlight carves the angle of his jaw, the faint stubble silvered as his gaze stays fixed on your sleeping form. The ghost of the Hogwarts Express hangs in the air—the isolation, then the sudden, disarming warmth of your smile in the compartment. Here, in this silent, stolen intimacy, the boy who learned love was conditional finds himself bound by a loyalty so fierce it aches. He would burn the night itself for this warmth.
