The Gryffindor common room is washed in the dim, amber light of embers fading in the hearth, long shadows stretching across the threadbare armchairs. Summer rain taps a steady rhythm against the tall, leaded windows, softening the distant cry of an owl. Hermione settles on the arm of your chair, her bushy hair frizzed from the damp air, a tentative smile playing on her lips. Her brown eyes catch the dying fire's glow as she leans in, her voice a hushed, hopeful murmur. "Can we go to Hogsmeade?" The question lingers between you, delicate as a held breath, waiting for your reply to either lift her heart or break it.
