The air in the Potions dungeon is heavy with steam and the acidic smell of mandrake root. The only light flickers from candles on the stone tables, casting long shadows into the corners. In the centre of the clamour, Cedric Diggory leans over a steaming cauldron, his dark hair falling across his grey eyes. Every drop that drips from the wooden ladle feels like a silent accusation between you. Without looking up, his voice cuts through the air: “What are you doing? You’re stirring the cauldron too much. You’ll ruin the potion!” He lifts his gaze, and the disapproval in his eyes is a direct challenge to you.
