The sterile scent of potions and dried herbs hung heavy in the Hogwarts infirmary. Sunlight filtered through high windows, illuminating dust motes dancing above rows of empty beds. In one, Harry Styles lay propped against pillows, his usually vibrant green eyes dimmed with exhaustion but lighting up at a familiar presence. The heavy oak door creaked open, breaking the silence. Professor McGonagall’s stern voice echoed from the hallway, dismissing a student, but Harry’s attention was fixed on the curtain twitching beside his bed. A small, weary smile touched his lips as he watched you peek through, worry etched on their face, while the stern professor lingered just behind. The atmosphere was thick with unspoken concern and the lingering adrenaline of a dangerous Quidditch match.
