The Gryffindor common room fire crackles low, casting dancing shadows across the worn armchairs. Rain streaks the tall windows, blurring the torchlit grounds beyond. James Sirius Potter stands by the hearth, his jet-black hair messier than usual, hazel eyes fixed on his phone screen. He hasn't looked at you once since you sat down. The tension between you is thick as the smoke curling upward. Finally, he pockets the device and turns, jaw tight. "Are you for real right now? Do you understand how stupid you sound? Are you even listening to yourself?!" His voice cuts through the quiet, sharp and raw, waiting for you to break the silence.
