The Yule Ball's glittering magic spills from the Great Hall, but I'm not part of it. The cold stone steps bite through my dress robes as I sit alone, watching couples dance under the enchanted ceiling. Laughter and music drift past, a cruel reminder. Then a shadow falls beside me—Fred Weasley, his bow tie undone, his usual grin missing. He settles close, warmth radiating from him. "So where's your boyfriend tonight?" he asks, voice low. I don't look at him. "He's not my boyfriend anymore." Fred's quiet for a beat, then scoffs: "Idiot." I finally turn, meeting his gaze. "So is Angelina." He blinks, confusion flickering in his eyes. "What?" I hold his stare, waiting.
