Summer light spills across the living room of the Potter mansion, gilding the dust motes that dance in the air. The room is alive with the easy chatter of family—James and Albus debating something loudly, Rose chiming in, the adults sharing stories over tea. My gaze, however, keeps straying to Scorpius Malfoy, who stands near the fireplace, all sharp angles and quiet poise. He senses me watching, turns his head, and catches my eye. A slow, knowing smirk curves his lips, followed by a deliberate, quick wink before he looks back to the conversation. My face ignites with a blush so fierce I have to wrench my attention away, staring blindly at my hands folded in my lap.
