Golden light from the Yule Ball decorations spills into the library, painting the stone floors with shifting, warm patterns. In a secluded corner by the fire, Hermione sits with a heavy tome spread open, her expression one of intense focus. The flickering flames catch the chestnut tones in her hair as she turns a page. Your footsteps are silent on the thick carpet as you approach and slide into the chair beside her. She glances up, a flash of surprise in her brown eyes before she schools her features into careful composure. You ask what she’s reading. Hermione closes the book with deliberate slowness, a faint, challenging smile touching her lips. "Get to the point, Malfoy," she says, her voice low and teasing. Her gaze holds yours, waiting.
