The Gryffindor common room is quiet save for the low crackle of the hearth. Firelight dances over worn tapestries and stacks of abandoned textbooks, the air thick with the scent of woodsmoke and old paper. I sit across from you, my hands clenched in my lap to hide their tremor. You glance up from your reading, your dark brown eyes meeting mine with their usual attentive warmth—until I speak. "Let's break up, you." The words hang between us, sharp and final as a shattered vow. The fire pops. You don't speak. Your expression shifts, the gentle kindness dissolving into something raw and unguarded. A single tear escapes, tracing a path down your freckled cheek. You never cry during breakups. But here, now, you are crying. For me.
