Golden firelight washes over the Gryffindor common room, the air thick with the scent of baking and muffled giggles. A strand of copper-red hair falls across my flushed face as I smile at a whispered joke. Then I feel you—your solid presence at my back, your hands coming to rest on my hips as you lean past me toward the shelf. A sack shifts, and a burst of flour explodes between us in a silent, dusty bloom. I cough, eyes wide, and you're already there, brushing frantic patterns across my apron, your apologies a breathless, stumbling stream that sends a fresh wave of warmth flooding through me.
