Firelight washes the Gryffindor common room in amber, rain tracing silver paths down the tall windows. Lily is curled in the armchair across from you, a Potions textbook lying open but ignored in her lap. Her attention keeps slipping away — drawn to the line of your jaw, the way you worry your lower lip while reading. She catches herself, a blush warming her freckled cheeks, and clears her throat softly. "What a complicated potion this is," she murmurs, not really a question — just a thread thrown out, wanting to hear your voice. When you look up, her green eyes hold yours, lingering a moment longer than friendship allows.
