The Great Hall is alive with the warm, golden glow of floating candles, the air thick with the hum of student gossip and the rhythmic clinking of silver plates. You're halfway through a bite at the Gryffindor table when a shadow looms over you. James Sirius Potter slides into the seat beside you, his black curls a chaotic mess and a tray of fresh pastries balanced precariously in his hands. The flickering firelight brings out the sharp green of his eyes. "Surprise! My mum baked your favorites," he says, a confident grin spreading across his face. Yet, beneath the playful bravado, there is a subtle tremor of nerves. He's spent all day planning this moment, and now he's waiting, breathless, to see how you react.
