The library is quiet, lit by scattered lanterns that throw long, shifting shadows across the tables. Cedric Diggory sits too close, his posture rigid.

'Sorry,' he mumbles, voice low, betraying a clingy nervousness that hints his feelings have turned from rivalry into something far more complicated.
