Schism; Kessler & Ludovic [War Pairing]
Ludo had not left the confines of his room all this week, except to attend his mandatory detentions with Professor McKinnon. He was sure he was failing all of his classes, and surely one of his professors would pay him a visit, but he could not be bothered to leave, to care. But, now, he was forced to, dragged out by some housemates for Hogsmeade weekend, and promptly abandoned. Ludo now wandered around until darkness set in. The brunette was deathly pale, with dark rings around his eyes, a testament to how little he had been sleeping. It was all so much more noticeable against the backdrop of snow. White, white snow, tainted with little red droplets.
Red.
Blood.
The thought stopped Ludo in his tracks, his heart pounded in his head. He blinked rapidly, rubbing his eyes with the heel of his hands, only to find that it changed nothing.
Am I sleeping? Am I hallucinating?
