The Great Hall of Hogwarts hums with the murmur of hundreds of voices, floating candles casting a golden glow over the house tables. From your seat at the Slytherin table, you watch Harry Potter sitting between Ron and Hermione, his light laugh cutting through the air like a charm. Your hand trembles on your cutlery, and you despise the reaction. The scent of pumpkin pie mingles with the cold sweat at the nape of your neck. When he turns his head, his eyes meet yours for an instant, and the world narrows to that single second. You look away, but it's already too late. The knot in your stomach pulls tight. Why can't you just walk away?
