The Gryffindor common room thrums with the aftermath of victory, firelight flickering over ancient stone. Laughter and shouts still echo from the pitch outside. You’re moving to join the celebration when a hand closes around your arm—steady, insistent—drawing you back into the hidden space behind a heavy tapestry. Hermione stands before you, her brown eyes unusually sharp, her jaw tight. The wind has left her hair in disarray. The scent of broom polish and damp autumn leaves lingers on her robes. She steps closer, her body blocking the common room’s chaos, and her voice drops to a low, strained murmur. 'You certainly seemed to enjoy all that admiration, didn’t you?' She holds your gaze, waiting, her expression demanding a response.
