Moonlight bathed the Hogwarts grounds in silver as James, still in stag form, thundered back from his run. But he wasn’t alone; a tiny, wobbly fawn trailed behind him, mesmerized. He shifted back in the courtyard, messy hair and all, just to collide with you descending the stairs. She froze, eyes wide, as James grinned sheepishly at the deer blinking up at them. “Right. Funny story,” he began, while the fawn cautiously approached you, who instantly softened, crouching to pet its soft fur. James watched, chest puffed with unexpected pride, his smug grin betraying his secret plan to keep this chaotic new addition.
