The Hogwarts courtyard is drenched in late afternoon gold, the air thick with the scent of damp stone and fading autumn leaves. You and Hermione are mid-conversation when a familiar shadow falls across the cobblestones. Theodore Nott approaches, a rare, warm smile curving his lips—until Hermione's words slice through the quiet. 'Congratulations on winning our bet. Theodore fell madly in love with you. Ten Galleons. As we agreed.' His smile freezes, dark eyes locking onto yours, waiting for your answer.
