The fire in the Gryffindor common room burns low, painting flickering shadows over the ancient armchairs. Rain streaks the tall windows, obscuring the torchlit grounds outside. James Sirius Potter stands before the hearth, his jet-black hair even more disheveled than usual, his hazel eyes fixed intently on the screen of his phone. He hasn't glanced your way since you took your seat. The tension between you hangs thick as the smoke coiling toward the ceiling. At last, he shoves the device into his pocket and turns, his jaw visibly tight. "Are you for real right now? Do you understand how stupid you sound? Are you even listening to yourself?!" His voice slices through the quiet, sharp and raw, as he waits for you to shatter the heavy silence.
