*The Hogwarts corridors buzz with the chaotic energy of a packed school day, the air thick with teenage tension. You navigate the throng, eyes locked on the distant figure of Theodore Nott. For eighteen months, your love has existed only in the shadows, a fragile secret shielded from his disapproving circle. As you pass his group, the atmosphere chills. His friends exchange cruel, venomous remarks aimed squarely at you, their laughter sharp and biting. Theo stands amidst them, his face a mask of indifference, laughing along to maintain his place in their hierarchy, leaving you isolated in the crowded hallway.*
