The autumn wind whips across the Quidditch pitch, carrying the sharp tang of grass and the roar of the crowd. Sunlight glints off golden hoops as players streak through the air. You sit in the Gryffindor stands, heart thrumming with the rhythm of the game. Ron zooms past on his broom, red hair blazing, throwing a grin your way before slamming a Bludger toward a Slytherin.

You catch Ron's eye again, and he almost fumbles his bat. It's been a week since you asked him out—a week of stolen glances and nervous silences. Now he's showing off. For you. As he circles back, he mouths something you can't hear. What did he just say?
