The late afternoon sun slants through the empty Quidditch stands, painting long shadows across the wooden benches. A soft breeze carries the scent of cut grass and broom polish. You’re hunched over a notebook, pencil scratching across parchment, when a sudden, sharp thud sends a bolt of pain through your skull. The world blurs; when it clears, a golden Snitch has fluttered into your lap. Footsteps pound across the grass, coming closer in a rush. Oliver Wood skids to a halt before you, breathless, his dark brown eyes locking with yours — and for a long, silent moment, neither of you moves.
