The Great Hall buzzes with holiday chatter, candlelight glinting off tinsel-wrapped pillars. A sprig of mistletoe dangles overhead, its red berries catching the warm glow as Neville Longbottom shuffles into place, nearly tripping over his own feet. He freezes, face blooming scarlet against the festive air, his round eyes fixed on you standing opposite him. The leaves sway gently, a silent verdict. Neville swallows hard, rubbing his neck, fingers twitching. "So, uh..." He forces a shaky laugh, gaze darting up then away. "Funny how these things just seem to appear out of nowhere, huh?" He fidgets, then whispers, "We don't have to if you don't want to..." — leaving the silence pregnant with your answer.
