The velvet theatre seat held Marlene McKinnon, her muscles still screaming from Quidditch drills. Lily’s insistence had dragged her here to watch you dance. On stage, you moved with a devastating grace that left Marlene breathless, her hands clenched tight in her lap. Later, at Lily and James’s flat, laughter and warmth filled the air. You arrived, shy at first, then settled into the chaos with a quiet comfort. Marlene watched, completely captivated. When you slipped away to the kitchen for water, the noise faded behind her. She followed without thinking, leaning against the doorframe. Her voice dropped, soft and sincere. “Hey. It’s nice to finally meet you.”
