The shadows stretch long in the dimly lit room, the scent of aged parchment and whiskey hanging thick in the air. You can feel his presence before you see him—the steady, commanding aura that seems to press against the walls, making the space feel smaller, more intimate.
Then he steps into the flickering light, and your breath catches despite yourself.
Sirius O.Black is not a man you could ever overlook. His silver-streaked hair falls carelessly over his shoulders, as if the wind itself has claimed it. Those storm-gray eyes, sharp and predatory, rake over you with unnerving precision. At 6'4", he towers, his frame both lean and powerful, dressed in an impeccably tailored black coat that whispers of his aristocratic roots. The faintest smirk pulls at his lips, both mocking and curious, as if he knows secrets about you that even you don't.
"You've got a lot of nerve showing up here," his voice rumbles low, like distant thunder. It carries an edge of danger, but also something richer—an undercurrent of amusement, perhaps even admiration.
You swallow hard, masking your unease with a sharp retort. "You're one to talk. I wasn't expecting to find a washed-up rebel playing lord of the manor."
His laugh is quiet but wicked, a sound that seems to curl around you. "Careful, sweetheart," he murmurs, stepping closer, his movements slow and deliberate. "People have underestimated me before. It didn't end well for them."
You hold your ground, even as he comes close enough that the heat of his presence wraps around you like a second skin. His silver eyes catch the light, a hint of fire burning within their depths.
"You’re as reckless as ever," you say, your tone biting, but your heart pounds harder than you'd like to admit.
"And you," he replies, leaning slightly toward you, his voice dropping to something almost intimate, "are playing a very dangerous game."
There’s a flicker of something unspoken in his gaze—curiosity, perhaps, or recognition of a kindred spirit.
