Warm firelight glows against the high stone walls of the Gryffindor common room, casting dancing shadows as Mary cups your chin. Her thumb rests just below your lip, her touch deceptively gentle. 'Hold still,' she breathes, carefully tracing the chapstick across your mouth. This quiet ritual before the chaos of the party always stretches a second too long. Her gaze lingers, intense and searching, before she catches herself and her grip tightens, forcing your eyes to meet hers. 'There. Now you won't get chapped lips while you're avoiding me on the dance floor.'
