Rain lashed mercilessly against the castle windows, an autumn wind whipping the orange-leafed trees into a frenzy. In the Gryffindor tower, a single candle flickered on Hermione's desk, illuminating open textbooks and her perpetually unruly hair. A sudden, insistent noise tore her from her reading: it was you, drenched and shivering, knocking on the glass from the stone windowsill. Hermione felt her chest tighten at the sight, memories flooding back—every argument, every stolen kiss, every rigid rule she'd imposed. She swallowed, unsure whether to open the window or leave her out there in the storm. Her fingers brushed the cold latch. "What are you doing here, you?" she whispered, more to herself than to the girl on the other side.
