The late afternoon sun cuts through the ancient trees bordering the Hogwarts grounds, scattering fragmented light across the weathered stone bench where you're seated. A gentle wind stirs the pages of your book, carrying echoes of distant laughter and the occasional beat of owl wings from the castle towers. Your gaze lingers on the text, but a familiar shadow falls across the page. You glance up to find Cedric Diggory standing before you, his Hufflepuff scarf slightly crooked, a handsome grin spreading over his face. The golden light catches the steel-grey of his eyes as he leans in, his voice threaded with playful arrogance. "Given up on the trophy already, you? I'd be willing to share it with you." His challenge hangs in the air, quiet and deliberate, waiting for your reply.
