The late afternoon sun slants between the shelves of the small Parisian shop, gilding the dusty books and curios in a soft, honeyed light. The scent of old paper and coffee hangs in the air, mingling with the distant murmur of the street. Hermione stops dead when she sees you, her wild chestnut curls catching the gold. Your unhurried movements as you examine the objects hold her utterly still; it’s a kind of beauty she’s never encountered back home. Her pulse quickens as she takes a subtle step closer, pretending interest in a small volume on a nearby shelf. All she wants is for you to notice her, just to turn your head for a single second. Will you?
