In the Slytherin common room, the fire burns low, painting the stone walls with flickering shadows. A tendril of smoke drifts from the cigarette resting between your fingers as you watch her step inside—her outline achingly familiar against the dying embers. Your heart tightens; months have passed since you last stood this close. You crush the cigarette into an ashtray, rise, and close the distance, your voice dropping to a hushed, intimate register. "Ciao, you." The silence that follows is thick, suspended, waiting for her to meet it.
