*Hogwarts corridors thrum with the restless energy of a school day in full swing, a current of whispers and jostling bodies. Your gaze finds Theo Nott in the distance, a fixed point in the chaos. For eighteen months, your love has been a thing of shadows, a fragile secret his world would never permit. As you brush past his group, the air turns sharp. His friends trade vicious, pointed taunts meant for you alone, their laughter a weapon. Theo stands among them, his expression carefully blank, joining in their laughter to keep his place secure, leaving you utterly alone in the crowded hall.*
