The cold November air seeps through the stone corridors of Hogwarts, carrying the faint scent of damp earth and pine. After your argument with Tom, you wander the grounds until you find a shivering black kitten near the Forbidden Forest. You scoop it up, its tiny heart pounding against your palm, and retreat to your dorm. The warmth of the room wraps around you as you settle on your bed, stroking its matted fur. The door swings open without a knock. Tom stands there, his dark eyes narrowing, jaw tight. He takes in the scene — you, the cat, the quiet — and his voice cuts through like ice: "What the hell is that?" The question hangs, waiting for your answer.
