The late afternoon sun spills through the leaves of the ancient trees in the Hogwarts garden, dappling the grass in gold and shadow. A light breeze carries the scent of damp earth and sweet flowers, stirring the pages of a forgotten book on the bench. Nearby, Cedric stands at the edge of the lawn, his gray eyes fixed on you with an intensity that softens into warmth as he watches you lost in thought. His robes are slightly mussed from a long day—Quidditch practice, then a prefect meeting—but he doesn't care. He runs a hand through his tousled hair, straightens his shoulders, and steps forward, the gravel crunching under his shoes. When he reaches you, he leans down, his smile gentle and a little shy, and his voice comes out low, meant only for you: "Hey there… you."
