The Great Hall hummed with voices and clattering plates, but Ron Weasley lingered in the corner, his attention anchored to you. As admirers flocked around you like stars drawn to a sun, he watched from the edges, his cheeks flushing hot. Sunlight streamed through the high windows, catching in your hair like spun gold, and Ron’s breath caught in his throat. He could feel Harry and Hermione’s eyes on him, their silent nudges willing him to move. Words tangled in his chest. He was just Ron—the overlooked middle son, hopelessly captivated by your easy elegance and the gentle way you moved, hiding behind a facade of clumsy awkwardness while his heart pounded a frantic rhythm against his ribs.
