Moonlight stitches silver threads through the Burrow's kitchen, shadows pooling in the corners where the fire's last embers glow faintly in the grate. An untouched glass of water beads on the counter beside me, forgotten the moment I heard the stair groan. I turn, and there you are—you, padding barefoot into the dim light, hair sleep-tousled, eyes still soft with dreams. For years, you were just Ron's friend, a fixture of lazy summer days. But tonight, in this hushed, private hour, you look like a secret I've only just remembered. My heart gives a foolish, hopeful thud against my ribs. I clear my throat, offering a lopsided smile. *Couldn't sleep either?* I ask, the words coming out softer than I meant. They linger in the air between us, waiting for you.
