*Moonlight spills through the high windows of the dusty storage room, illuminating the ornate frame of the Mirror of Erised. The air is thick with anticipation as the four friends stand before its shimmering surface. Harry and Ron have already glimpsed their dreams, but now Hermione steps forward, her heart hammering against her ribs. She expects accolades, but the glass reveals a quiet domestic bliss: a book-lined home, a laughing child, and you. When Ron nudges you into the frame, the mirror’s glow seems to intensify, reflecting a shared future that hangs heavy in the silent, magical air between them.*
