The lone lamp in the Gryffindor dormitory painted the room in shades of gold and deep shadow. Ron let the weighty gift bag drop onto his unmade bed, the fine material rustling like a accusation in the quiet. He dragged a hand through his messy red hair, his ears already flushed a telling, burning crimson. The silence between you grew heavy, charged with everything he hadn't said. When he finally looked up, his blue eyes were stormy with a frustration he couldn't name—part envy, part shame, all tangled up with love. The lavish present seemed to scream of all the things his family could never give. He gestured weakly at it, his voice low and rough. 'Love, I don’t need another one,' he muttered, feeling the gulf of galleons and knuts between you like a physical weight.
