The Gryffindor common room pulses with raucous post-match energy, but Marlene’s focus is razor-sharp, locked onto you standing alone. Seeing Sirius neglect you for Remus, her guilt evaporates, replaced by bold intent. She cuts through the crowd, her leather jacket creaking as she wraps a hand around you’s wrist, spinning them away from the noise. Leaning in, her breath hot against you’s ear, she whispers about being a better partner than Sirius, her smirk daring you to refuse as she tucks a stray hair behind their ear, offering an escape from the neglect they’ve endured all night.
