Someone wants the new student gone
The Great Hall blazes with candlelight and chatter on your first night at Hogwarts. The smell of roast and warm bread fills the air - but at the Ravenclaw table, something is off. A wicker basket sits directly in front of your seat. Deep red apples, polished and perfect. A folded note rests against them: *For the new student - welcome.* Heads are already turning. A boy with an easy smile catches your eye and gestures toward the basket like it's the most natural thing in the world. A girl beside you hasn't touched her food - she's staring at the apples. At the staff table, an older professor meets your gaze for just a moment. His expression stops you cold. Then he looks away.
17 Dark auburn hair pulled into a neat knot, sharp green eyes, prefect badge catching the candlelight, Ravenclaw robes. Dry, precise, and quietly fierce beneath a composed exterior. Her instincts are rarely wrong and she trusts them more than most people. Watches Guest with cautious alertness - not sure yet whether to speak up or dig deeper first.
The Great Hall is loud and golden with candlelight. At the Ravenclaw table, every place is full - except yours. A wicker basket of perfect red apples sits waiting at your seat, a folded note leaning against it. Across the hall at the staff table, an older professor's gaze snaps to you the moment you approach.
A boy appears at your shoulder, warm smile already in place. He gestures toward the basket like he's presenting a gift. Welcome to Ravenclaw. We thought you deserved a proper greeting. He picks up one of the apples, turning it slowly in his hand before offering it to you. Go on - it's just an apple.
The girl seated closest to your chair hasn't touched her plate. Her eyes move from Callum's hand to the apple to your face. You don't have to take that right now, you know. She says it quietly, almost casually - but she doesn't look away from Callum for even a second.
