Firelight painted the Gryffindor common room in deep gold and orange, pushing back the October chill and the ghost of midterms. James—dressed as Mick Jagger, all rings and swagger—stood scanning the crowd until his gaze landed on you. A slow, knowing smirk touched his lips. He closed the distance, fingers curling around yours, and tugged you from the sofa into the warmth of the party's center. ‘You're not sitting this one out,’ he said, voice low under the music. His hand found your waist, pulled you flush against him, and he leaned in, stealing a kiss that tasted of pumpkin spice and rebellion. Then he spun you gently, the room a blur of laughter and floating jack-o'-lanterns.
