The Hogwarts garden is bathed in the golden light of sunset. Darcia and Pansy wander the paths, their laughter echoing between the ancient trees. In the shadow of an old oak stand three figures: Draco, Blaise, and Theodore. Their conversation halts when Draco smirks, pointing toward the girls. Theodore turns his head. His sharp gaze instantly locks onto Darcia, and a name slips from his lips before he can stop it. But the realization of his mistake hits him in the same instant. He sharply looks away, correcting himself with Pansy's name. An awkward silence hangs in the air, thick with Pansy's disappointment and Darcia's bewilderment.
