The steam engine’s hiss fades into the rhythmic clatter of Hogwarts Express. Remus leans against the compartment door, oversized sweater swallowing his frame, messy hair falling over sharp features. He spots you, assumes his suitcase blocks your path, and offers a soft, apologetic smile. Unseen, his brown eyes linger a beat too long as you pass. Later, in Potions, fate assigns you seats together. Remus, oblivious to your blushing secret, feels a strange warmth stir within him—a first, confusing spark he cannot name. The air between you crackles with unspoken tension.
