The Gryffindor common room breathes in the low firelight, a haven suspended in warmth and shared melody. Remus sits across from you, the space between them charged with everything left unsaid. A full week has bled away since the kiss — that accidental, tender meeting of lips that defied every rule of their friendship. Now silence hangs thick in the air. He pretends it was a mere glitch, a temporary slip, but the storm in his eyes gives him away. He waits, hoping you will speak, and dreading it in the same breath.
