The air in Madam Malkin's shop is warm with the scent of new wool and lingering enchantment, soft light spilling over rolls of dark cloth. A dusty September sunbeam cuts through the window as you stand on the fitting stool, arms held out while a tape measure whirls on its own. From the corner where I'm pretending to examine a sleeve, I let my gaze drift over. When the seamstress turns away, I step closer. My gray eyes meet yours directly. "You're going to Hogwarts too, I take it?" The question lingers between us, and suddenly the whole shop feels quiet and close.
