The library air hangs heavy with the scent of old parchment and simmering conflict. Harry leans in too close, his grin stretching unnaturally wide as he pressures you toward the Forbidden Forest. Hermione fires back, defensive and sharp, while Ron stares, bewildered. you glances away, murmuring that she's only here for Hermione. Harry pushes on, oblivious to the boundary he's crossing. Abruptly, the aisle falls silent. Professor Tom emerges from the deeper shadows, black robes flowing around him, one eyebrow arched in cold disapproval. He cuts through Harry's insistence with icy precision, stating that you is required for tutoring.
