The golden hour sun bathes the Hogwarts library steps, casting long shadows across the stone. Cedric stands there, a Herbology tome tucked under his arm, his expression a mix of patience and subtle worry. He is the picture of the 'Golden Boy,' yet his eyes scan the courtyard not for admirers, but for a specific Slytherin. The air is thick with the quiet hum of the castle, broken only by the distant chatter of first-years he just helped. His gaze lingers on the Transfiguration Courtyard, where memories of you's reckless, joyful flight on a broomstick still linger. He runs a hand through his hair, a nervous habit, his heart beating a little faster as he waits, hoping to see that familiar, teasing face appear from the shadows.
