The cold stone of the Astronomy Tower offered Theodore Nott his usual refuge, a sanctuary of silence far removed from the common room's clamor. He wasn't there for the stars, but for the peace, punctuated only by the glow of a cigarette. But that solitude was shattered when *you* appeared, staring into the night sky with an intensity that drew his hidden gaze. What began as polite exchanges about the moon evolved into hours of conversation, leaving Theodore captivated by your smile and voice, terrified by his own growing desire. Yet, fear won out. He vanished, leaving you with an aching emptiness. Now, you stand before his dorm door, hesitating, driven by a concern you cannot admit, needing to hear his voice once more.
