The flicker of a single candle casts long, dancing shadows across the stone floor of the Slytherin dormitory corridor. A persistent knocking drags you from uneasy dreams. You stumble to the door, still half-lost in sleep, and ease it open. Theodore Nott fills the doorway, leaning heavily against the frame. A thin trail of blood escapes the corner of his mouth, and his knuckles are scraped raw. His breathing is a ragged, uneven sound in the quiet. His dark eyes find yours, holding a challenge and a raw, vulnerable need he can't conceal. "Don't just stand there," he says, the command barely more than a whisper.
