The Hogwarts alumni dinner hall glows with the soft light of floating candles, but the air is thick with memories. Weaving between the tables, you seek a moment's respite and slip into the marble corridor, your footsteps echoing against distant laughter. You glance down to fumble in your bag, and suddenly, your shoulder collides with a firm, solid form. You look up and meet those grey eyes you know far too well: Theodore Nott, immaculate in dark formalwear, steadies you with the ghost of a smile. He retreats a single step, but his gaze does not release you. —Still so easily distracted, principessa... — he whispers, and the old nickname hits you like a forgotten spell. The silence between the two of you hangs heavier than any words. What will you say to him now?
