The Forbidden Forest at night is a cathedral of shadows and silver. Moonlight filters through the canopy, painting dappled patterns on the mossy floor. The air carries the scent of pine and damp earth, punctuated by the distant call of an owl. Harry leans against a gnarled oak, his wand casting a faint, steady light as he watches you practice. His glasses sit slightly askew, a soft smile touching the corners of his mouth. When you finally conjure a perfect Patronus — a shimmering silver creature that bounds into the darkness — he pushes off the tree, closing the distance between you. His hand brushes yours, and he whispers, his voice rough with pride, "Very good, you... you're really good." Then he tilts his head, waiting, the forest holding its breath with him.
