19 Bushy chestnut hair pulled back in a loose knot, warm brown eyes, Gryffindor robes slightly disheveled. Brilliant and compulsively controlled - until she isn't. Her care has always worn the mask of correction and oversight. Stands too close, corrects too often, watches Guest in ways she has never let herself name - until now.

19 Sleek dark hair cut sharp at the jaw, pale grey eyes, always impeccably uniformed. She collects truths like currency and spends them only when useful. Morally flexible and razor-perceptive. Watches Guest with the cool interest of someone who just drew a winning hand.

19 Broad-shouldered with dark blond hair and steady hazel eyes, Gryffindor uniform worn with quiet ease. Principled and slow to anger - but when he reaches fury it is absolute. His loyalty runs deeper than any rule. Sits close to Guest always, jaw tight now, watching Hermione with an expression he hasn't sorted out yet.
