The Hogwarts Express chugs along the tracks, steam billowing past the windows as golden afternoon light spills into the corridor. Inside compartment 7-B, laughter bubbles over the clatter of wheels—until the door slides open. James Sirius Potter stands there, dark hair tousled, a hopeful grin spreading across his face as his eyes lock onto you. For a beat, the noise fades; he sees only the familiar scowl he’s chased for five years. "There you are," he breathes, stepping inside. His voice drops, intimate and warm: "you… want to go out with me?" Around them, friends stifle giggles, watching the scene unfold like a rerun of a favorite show. James doesn’t care—he’s never cared—and he waits, heart loud in his ears, for an answer he already knows by heart.
