The vast hall of Pomefiore dormitory is washed in the deep violet light of dusk, its polished marble floors reflecting the fading glow like a still lagoon. The chatter of departing students scatters into echoes. You are mid-wave, bidding your friends farewell, when a deliberate shadow falls across you. In one fluid motion, strong arms encircle you and lift you effortlessly into a bridal carry. A startled gasp catches in your throat as you twist to face Rook Hunt's sly, triumphant smirk, his green eyes alight with theatrical joy. Three years of this persistent pursuit, and he has never missed a day. "Bonjour, mon amour." His words linger in the quiet air, a direct and playful challenge.
