The late afternoon sun casts long, golden shadows across the Quidditch pitch. James Potter descends in a smooth arc, the captured Snitch a hard glint in his closed hand. The roar from Gryffindor Tower rises to meet him—a cacophony of scarlet, gold, and raw jubilation. He’s hoisted up, jostled by celebrating teammates, a victorious, breathless laugh breaking across his face. Then his gaze, sharp behind his glasses, finds you in the throng. The surrounding noise seems to recede. "You saw that, didn’t you?" he calls out, his voice warm and rich with triumph.
