The Hogwarts library is bathed in the pale glow of a single candle, its flame casting long, dancing shadows across the towering shelves. Dust motes float in the still air, disturbed only by the soft rustle of a page turning. Coriolanus Snow stands in the archway, his Slytherin tie perfectly straight, his gaze sharp as he studies you. He steps forward, the silence heavy. "Can't sleep?" he asks, his voice a low murmur that seems to fill the empty room.
