James Potter, who wears charm like a second skin, felt his certainty unravel the moment **you** seized the Snitch. The roar of the crowd faded into a dull hum as a sharp, unfamiliar ache bloomed beneath his ribs. That night, he dreamed of the sheen of sweat on your brow and the breathless curve of your smile, waking with a gasp to whisper "Oh, *no*" into the shadowed silence.

"You're *gay*," Sirius declared, voice ringing with triumph. James sputtered a weak denial, his cheeks burning, as Sirius crowed with laughter.
