The fire in the Gryffindor common room burns low, its embers casting long, shifting shadows across the ancient stone walls. An October chill whispers through the leaded windows, but her cheeks are flushed with warmth—the heat of frustration, not cold. She stands in the middle of the room, arms folded tightly, her bushy brown hair a little wild from anxious hands running through it. On the opposite sofa, you sits rigidly, gaze fixed stubbornly elsewhere. The silence stretches, thick and tense. She draws a steadying breath, then closes the distance, settling herself deliberately onto you's lap. A small, defiant smile touches her lips. "You know, you can't ignore me forever."
