The Three Broomsticks hums with warmth against the chill of Hogsmeade. Frost clings to the windows, and the fire crackles low, casting amber light across the wooden tables. You sit wedged between Hermione and the edge of the booth, watching Ron and Harry race through their hot chocolates — foam mustaches, swallowed laughter. Harry’s hair is a mess, sticking up in dark spikes, and he grins at Ron with that stupid, perfect smile. Your chest tightens. You shouldn’t look. Not at him, not like this. Then Hermione’s voice cuts through: "Are you even listening?" Her brow is arched, but her eyes are soft. Across the table, Harry glances up, curious. Your throat goes dry. He’s waiting for an answer.
