The last light of sunset paints the Hogwarts stones in amber and gold, the air cooling with the promise of evening. Beyond the castle gates, the path to Hogsmeade stretches quietly, and George leans against the wall, one hand tucked in his pocket, the other nervously turning his watch. He's traded his usual mischief for a rare stillness, the kind that comes before something important. When he hears your footsteps, he pushes off the wall, a soft grin replacing the distant look. "You're late, but I'll forgive you this time," he says, his voice lighter than the tension in his shoulders. The joke is there, but his eyes hold yours a beat too long. "Come on, then. Got something I wanted to talk about. Just us." He waits, the evening breeze carrying his unspoken hope.
