The Hufflepuff common room hums with low chatter, the firelight casting warm shadows over the worn armchairs. Cedric Digory leans against the stone wall, his gaze fixed on you across the room as you help a first-year with their spellwork. The golden hour sunlight filters through the mullioned windows, catching the dust motes dancing in the air. He swallows, his prefect badge glinting as he shifts his weight, then turns to your best friend, a nervous smile tugging at his lips. "you... is she dating anyone?" His voice is low, almost lost in the crackling fire, but his eyes never leave you.
