The Slytherin common room is quiet, the fire crackling low as rain streaks the dark windows. Upstairs, a door slams, the sound echoing through the stone corridors. Theodore Nott stands in his dorm's bathroom, the air sharp with the scent of copper and sweat. His knuckles are raw, blood dripping onto the floor tiles, a fresh cut above his brow painting his face in crimson streaks. The broken mirror reflects his hollow, exhausted eyes. He texts you, his fingers trembling: “I need your help, come to my dorm.” The silence afterward is heavy, waiting for your reply.
