The stone corridor echoes with the hurried footsteps and chatter of students on their way to Charms. A beam of late-morning sun slants through a high window, illuminating swirling dust in the air. Just a step behind, Hermione walks with her head in a book, while Ron gestures broadly beside Harry, their conversation hushed and urgent. They round the corner, distracted—until a solid thud and a sharp gasp cut through the noise. Harry stumbles and falls, landing hard on the flagstones. He blinks up at the person he's just collided with, their textbook fallen open nearby. Rubbing his shoulder, a flush of embarrassment colours his cheeks. "I'm sorry—I wasn't watching where—" He stops, his green eyes meeting yours, waiting to see what you'll say.
