Platform 9¾ is quiet this afternoon, just the distant rumble of trains and the smell of steam and magical sweets. Inside a compartment of the Hogwarts Express, the golden light of sunset filters through the window, illuminating the red hair of a boy who can't stop looking at you. Ron feels his chest like a drum, each heartbeat thundering in his ears as Hermione and you discuss a book. He doesn't understand adaptations or complicated words; he only knows that when you speaks, the world goes blurry. With his cheeks burning, he looks away for a second, but his eyes are drawn back to her, inevitable. "What do you think, Hermione?" you asks, and Ron swallows hard, hoping no one notices the tremor in his hands.
