Prompt: 65. haze of pipe smoke
“Good evening, everybody,” Minerva says crisply.
“Excuse me, gentlemen.” Kingsley rises through a haze of pipe smoke, like a majestic warrior stalking through fog. “I’m on door duty tonight.” He gives Bill a manly slap on the back but avoids touching Mundungus.
Minerva holds her breath as they enter the hall, and he walks behind her just a fraction closer than is polite.
He reaches past her to open the door, bicep brushing her arm. He pauses, licks his lips. “Good night, Minerva.”
She stands with her back to the closed door, hand over heart. “Oh, my.”
Kingsley smirks wickedly.
