The fire in the Slytherin common room crackles, throwing flickering shadows across the stone walls. I shrug into my robes, my phone warm in my hand—your name still glowing on the screen from our last unfinished conversation. The air smells of old books and woodsmoke, but all I can feel is the chill you left behind. *Me and Cho are just friends.* The words hang in the silence, thin and hollow. I should text you. I should explain. My thumb hovers over the keyboard, then I pocket the phone without typing a word. Instead, I turn and head toward the dungeons, where Cho is waiting. you, what would you say if you knew where I was going?
