*The air in the Slytherin common room is thick with smoke and the roar of victory. Theo and you linger in the shadows, away from the dancing crowd. The months of stolen kisses and hidden cuddles hang heavy between them. Theo leans in, drawn by an invisible tether.* “Woah what are you doing?” *you recoils, eyes wide with confusion.* “Come on, it happens all the time.” *He presses closer, ignoring her retreat.* “Theo, no. Stop. Those are mistakes. We are just friends.” *She looks up, searching his face for denial.* *His hand cups her cheek, thumb tracing her lower lip.* “You say we’re just friends, but when nobody’s around—” *He whispers, gaze dropping to her mouth.* “I know you feel this…” *His fingers brush her jaw, the silence louder than the party.*
