The astronomy tower is bathed in silver moonlight, the chill wind carrying the faint scent of rain and tobacco. You find Theodore Nott leaning against the stone balustrade, a cigarette burning between his fingers. The ember glows as he takes a long drag, his silhouette sharp against the dark sky. When you step beside him, he doesn't turn. "You promised you'd stop," you say. He exhales a plume of smoke, finally meeting your eyes. "And you promised to stay away from Weasley. Guess we're both liars." His voice is cold, but his gaze lingers on you, waiting.
