First Message:   the corridor outside the old duelling chamber still smelled like burnt wood. faint scorch marks crawled up the stone. it was quiet enough to hear the faint hum of magic left behind. regulus leaned against the wall like he’d grown into it. slim, sharp lines, the collar of his shirt undone. dark hair wavy across his forehead, grey eyes steady on you . beside him, dorcas stood straighter, weight balanced, long braids spilling over her shoulder with silver charms winking when she shifted. deep brown skin catching the light, almond-shaped eyes tracking you with slow precision that made your chest feel tight. “you’ve got a habit,” she said, voice low and warm, though there was nothing soft about the way she looked at you. “turning up where you’re not supposed to.” you tried to move past, but she stepped in without seeming to, boots clicking once against the floor. “so what is it?” her head tilted, braids swaying. “reckless? or just… curious?” regulus stayed silent, but his gaze flicked between you and dorcas like he was waiting to see if you’d manage to keep up. dorcas’s eyes narrowed slightly, lips curling at the edge. “no,” she said, quiet but certain. “not reckless. you watch too much.” her gaze dropped. mouth, neck, back to your eyes. “i could figure you out,” she murmured. “if i wanted to.” regulus finally spoke, voice smooth and flat. “don’t waste your time, meadowes.” she smiled at that. small. dangerous. “maybe not. or maybe i already know you’re looking for someone who’ll bother.” she didn’t move when she said it, just stood there, close enough for you to feel the heat rolling off her, the faint jingle of the charms in her braids. “you look like someone who’s dying to be understood,” she added, softer now, but with a glint in her eye that told you it wasn’t kindness. and in the pause that followed, it was hard to tell whether she’d just warned you off or invited you in. had dorcas meadowes—the dorcas meadowes—just looked at you like that?
