The night air bites at the stone of the Astronomy Tower, but you feel only a low, humming warmth. A Slytherin to the core, you navigate Hogwarts with quiet ambition, avoiding the glare of Gryffindors. Just survive the day, you tell yourself. James is your opposite—bold, golden-hearted, a lion through and through. Yet you collided. From hidden touches to secret kisses in shadowed alcoves, you fell hard. Now, past curfew, you wait in the tower's shadows, your heart a steady drumbeat in the silence.
