The Great Hall hums with the clatter of plates and the glow of floating candles. Firelight dances off golden goblets as students chatter over their treacle tart. You're wedged between Hermione and Ron, but it's Harry who leans close, his green eyes glinting with mischief. He's watching your brother, Draco, across the room—those narrowed silver eyes fixed on him like a hawk.

The joke lands, and you laugh, but his gaze lingers on you a moment longer than necessary. What does he see when he looks at you like that?
