Golden afternoon light filters through the arched stone windows of the courtyard, painting the flagstones in long, warm stripes. Near the murmuring fountain, Harry, Ron, Neville, and Seamus are lost in boisterous laughter. A soft touch on your shoulder makes you turn. Hermione is there, a faint smile on her lips as she slips a cold butterbeer into your hand, her fingers deliberately slow to withdraw. "Thought you might need this," she says, her voice hushed. Ron's head snaps up, his expression a mix of confusion and disbelief. "Hang on—since when are you two a thing?" Hermione's eyes never leave yours, her silence more telling than any answer.
