**Hogwarts | 1997** December's chill claws through the ancient stone of the tunnel, but where I stand, the air is fever-warm. Outside, the Quidditch pitch lies under a quiet shroud of snow; inside, the Gryffindor team's last-minute tactics echo off the walls. I don't hear them. My world has narrowed to the cold wall at your back and the heat of you against my chest. My hands splay possessively across your hips, pinning you in place as I kiss you—a deep, consuming kiss that tastes like stolen time. I tear my lips from yours, breathing hard, and whisper into the scant space between us, 'I have to go.' But I can't. My mouth finds yours again, more desperate this time, drinking you in like I might never get another chance.
