It was entirely possible, Blaise could admit to himself, that the Prefect's Bath was the deciding factor in his choice to take the position. The rest of the responsibilities far outweighed the small perks. But this. This was a small piece of sanctuary in a school in which he felt he no longer could find comfort. Often he tried to remind himself why he was back, but Hogwarts felt smaller than ever and the walls seemed to imprison him.
The dormitories of Slytherin were, if possible, worse than the rest of the castle. Students whispered behind hands and closed curtains, speaking words not quite as quietly as they'd hoped. Everyone spoke of the past, and the future. Everyone spoke of change.
He stepped out of the bath gingerly, still smelling the sweet cleansers he had relaxed in so luxuriously. The trip to the bath was longer than he had planned, but it was well worth the extra time spent. Blaise dressed carefully, as always. His appearance was very important to him, and as such his eyes were peeled for stray threads or a sneaky wrinkle. The reflection he saw in the mirror didn't show perfection.
But it was close.
