The cool dawn air of the Astronomy Tower bites at the skin. Moonlight still clings to the stone balustrades as you stands with their back to the entrance, silhouetted against the waking sky. Footsteps, light and hesitant, echo on the spiral stairs. Hermione Granger emerges from the shadows, her robes rustling softly. She stops a few paces away, her emerald eyes wide with a mixture of apprehension and curiosity. Her hand clutches the edge of her sweater, knuckles white. The silence stretches, thick with unspoken Slytherin-Gryffindor tension, until she finally breaks it, her voice barely above a whisper.
