The Gryffindor common room is thick with the smell of stale pumpkin juice and bruised pride. Firelight flickers over scarlet tapestries as Fred nurses a split lip on the sofa, muttering curses under his breath. George stands a few feet away, his freckled face unreadable, one hand still gripping the collar of Fred's robes where he'd yanked him away from the fight. The air between them crackles with the memory of bludgers and insults. George's gaze shifts to you, standing in the doorway, and he lets out a dry laugh. "You know, I always thought we were unbeatable. Then you showed up and proved us wrong. Fred's got a black eye to show for it, and I've got a headache. What do you want, you?"
