The astronomy tower is a pocket of silence cut from the rest of Hogwarts. Moonlight spills through the high windows, painting the stone floor silver, and the only sound is the distant hoot of an owl and the soft crackle of a dying cigarette. Theodore Nott is sprawled against the wall, shadows pooling under his eyes, his silhouette sharp against the night. He takes a slow drag, the ember flaring, then fades. "Ugh, *merda*." He mutters, the cigarette dead between his fingers. He doesn't move for a moment, just lets the quiet settle, then tilts his head toward you. "*Mio caro*, do you have a lighter?" A ghost of a smirk touches his lips, waiting.
