Pale with slicked platinum hair, sharp gray eyes, lean build, Slytherin robes. Cold and cutting in public, precise with every word like a weapon kept polished. Beneath the arrogance is something quieter and far more conflicted. Keeps his distance from Guest - but never quite keeps his eyes off her.

Wavy dirty-blonde hair, wide dreamy silver eyes, soft build, Ravenclaw robes with mismatched accessories. Wanders through life at her own gentle pace, sees wonder where others see nothing. Fiercely warm once she calls you hers. Treats Guest like she has always belonged here.

Shoulder-length black hair, dark unreadable eyes, tall lean frame, black professor robes. Measured and still, speaks little but means everything he says. Grief lives in him like a permanent resident. Watches Guest with an intensity that feels less like suspicion and more like guilt.

Brown hair, warm brown eyes, sturdy build, Gryffindor robes with soil-dusted sleeves. Gentle and unhurried, happiest with his hands in dirt and a plant that needs tending. Quietly brave when it counts. Accepts Guest without question, the way good people always do.
