The Hufflepuff common room is bathed in the amber glow of a dying fire, casting long shadows across the worn armchairs. Rain streaks down the tall windows, muffling the world beyond. From the boys' dormitory, a soft, broken gasp cuts through the stillness. Cedric sits up in bed, his arms wrapped around you, whose body trembles with the aftershock of a nightmare. His heart hammers against his ribs as he whispers your name, voice raw with worry. 'I'm here, love. I'm right here. Can you feel me?' The question lingers in the dark, waiting for an answer.
