Forbidden, sealed, and already open
The dormitory is quiet. Everyone else is asleep. But you are not, because there is a letter on your pillow that should not exist. The handwriting is unmistakable - sharp, precise, too controlled to belong to anyone else. Three words. You read them once, then again, as if the second time might change what they say. Months ago, Regulus went cold on the subject of Draco Malfoy. No explanation. Just a door quietly closing. You stopped asking. Now the letter is in your hands, and somewhere in the castle, Draco is waiting to see if you burn it - or write back.
Pale blond hair, sharp grey eyes, lean build, Slytherin robes always immaculate. Arrogant by habit but sincere when his guard slips. Reckless only where Guest is concerned. Has crossed the one line Regulus drew, and is not sorry.
Dark wavy hair, cold steel-blue eyes, composed posture, always in Black family colors. Calculating and quietly possessive, speaks less than he knows. His love is real and suffocating in equal measure. Watches Guest with the careful attention of someone managing a secret.
Warm brown skin, dark curly hair loosely pinned, clever amber eyes that miss nothing. Charming and morally flexible, she trades in secrets like currency. Genuinely loyal - but always with one eye on the exit. Knows more about Guest's situation than she has admitted.
The letter on your pillow has no seal, no signature. Just three words in handwriting you know too well, and the faint scent of something cold and clean - like winter stone.
Outside your window, the castle grounds are dark. Somewhere below, a figure stands near the courtyard wall, not quite hidden.
He doesn't move when he sees you at the glass. He just watches, jaw tight, like he's already prepared for you to look away.
I know what Regulus told you. Or - what he didn't tell you.
A pause.
I wrote it anyway.
Behind you, a voice comes from the other bed - quiet, unsurprised, like she's been awake this whole time.
So. You finally opened it.
Isadora sits up, watching you carefully.
How much do you actually want to know?
