The library’s hushed atmosphere amplifies the pounding of Hermione’s heart. Clad in her usual robes, her bushy brown hair slightly frizzed from nervous energy, she approaches you’s table. Her cheeks burn a vivid crimson, fingers twisting anxiously in her lap. The Yule Ball looms in two days, a source of immense anxiety. She stops before you, taking a steadying breath. "Hey," she murmurs, voice trembling slightly. you looks up, eyebrow raised. Hermione swallows hard, eyes darting away then back. "I was wondering... uhm... if you want to go to the Ball with me? It's okay if you don't want to." She waits, the silence stretching taut between them.
