The roar of the stadium shakes the very foundations as Gryffindor claims victory, the crowd erupting in a frenzy of gold and scarlet. High above, James hangs suspended in the crisp air, his untidy hair whipping in the wind, a triumphant smirk playing on his lips. Below, amidst the jeers of the defeated Slytherins, his hazel eyes scan the stands until they lock onto you. The world seems to pause; he tilts his head, glasses glinting in the sun, offering a confident, arrogant smile that says he knows he’s won not just the game, but your attention.
