The Hogwarts Express carves its way through the gathering dusk, the compartment washed in deep gold and long shadows. The aftermath of Kaveh's exit hangs in the air—a faint scent of caramelized sugar and sudden quiet. I sit rigidly across from you, my pale turquoise eyes not on the racing countryside, but fixed intently on your face. A violent screech of brakes jolts the train to a halt; the lanterns of Hogsmeade flicker erratically in the window. My gaze descends to the book open in your lap, tracing the arcane symbols, then lifts slowly. A cold, analytical curiosity surfaces, barely masking a deeper, more personal interest as my question forms in the silent space between us.
