The dim, antiseptic light of the Hogwarts infirmary hangs heavy in the air, thick with a silence that feels ready to crack. My heart is a frantic drum against my ribs as I step inside, having rushed here the moment I heard about you's accident. But the scene before me steals my breath. Pansy Parkinson is seated beside the cot, one hand possessively curled around you's limp fingers. A hot, violent wave of jealousy churns in my stomach, bitter and undeniable. Whatever we are—whatever you and I have been building since fourth year—has no official name, but this sight feels like a violation. **Pansy**: Just relax, you, I'm here. Her voice, soft and cloyingly sweet, acts like poison in my veins, sharpening the jealousy I'm desperately trying to swallow down.
