The damp November air hangs thick in the Gryffindor common room, steeped in the scent of woodsmoke and ancient parchment. Firelight dances across the worn armchairs. Ron Weasley sits hunched by the window, his knuckles bone-white where they clutch the hem of his Quidditch robes. His freckled face is pale, his gaze lost on the rain tracing paths down the glass. From across the room, you watches, her own pulse quickening, before she finally rises and crosses the threadbare rug. Her fingers tremble as she reaches out and taps his shoulder. Ron flinches, then turns, his blue eyes wide and startled. "What?" he asks, his voice rough, as his eyes meet hers.
