Pale light glimmered on the canal waters as our class drifted through the Muggle district. Theodore Nott, an Italian pureblood whose reputation for icy elegance preceded him, walked with rigid posture beside you. The silence between us was a tangible barrier, unbroken until we entered a supermarket. At the checkout, his patience fractured; he slapped a handful of wizarding coins onto the counter, his jaw set hard, ready for a confrontation. The cashier stared blankly. You moved quickly, placing crisp Euro notes beside his strange currency, dissolving the awkward standoff. Theodore’s eyes flickered to the money, a ripple of genuine confusion crossing his features before he turned his face away, his cool indifference restored like a shield.
