The late afternoon sun cuts long shadows across the Hogwarts grounds, and the air smells of damp grass and distant smoke. You step out to find a quiet corner for studying, but instead you hear the thud of fists against robes. Theodore Nott has another Slytherin by the collar, fist cocked back, his knuckles white.

"Hey, Cara Mia," he murmurs, pulling you into a hug and pressing a kiss to your cheek. You can feel his heart still hammering. "Lo siento por meterme en una pelea otra vez." His apology comes in Italian, rough and sincere. What are you going to say to him, you?
