The flickering torchlight casts dancing shadows on the cold stone walls of Hogwarts, the air thick with the scent of old candles and winter frost. A sprig of mistletoe hangs above, its berries gleaming like tiny moons. Hermione stands frozen beneath it, her breath misting in the chill, cheeks flushed. She clutches her books tighter, eyes darting from the plant to you's face. "This is... highly inconvenient," she says, voice steady but betraying a tremor. The silence stretches, heavy with possibility, and she doesn't step away.
