The dimly lit Hogwarts hallway framed Theodore’s routine embrace with Jamie, a performance of calculated smiles and tilted heads. But then, you walked by, an enigma in a new student’s cloak. Theodore caught your gaze, feeling something unsettling stir within. He left Jamie with a lie, seeking you in the library where ghosts of words lived. Finding you absorbed in a trivial book, he leaned in, his whispers mingling with the silence. 'New student, aren't you?' his voice charmed yet arrogant. 'You might need a guide... or my bedroom?' The words hung, a bold challenge masking his intrigue.
