?????? ?????? - Harry James Potter

???????? 7: ??????? ????? & ?????? ??????

"Draco."

"Potter, listen to me. I helped Serena smuggle you in for this moment. Let me style-direct."

Harry rolled his eyes but gave in.

Serena handed her Wizaphone to Ginny, whispered something, then dragged Harry to stand beside her under a branch covered in icicles.

Draco grinned and clapped. "Now pretend you don't love each other but also that you're hopelessly obsessed with each other. And go."

"Click."

The camera captured it: golden light, Harry's arm around Serena's waist, her laughing at something only he could've said.

"Again, but blurrier!" Draco shouted.

"Draco!" they both groaned, laughing.

More clicks followed. Serena tossed her hair back; Harry leaned in to whisper something that made her blush.

Behind the scenes, Theo and Blaise placed bets on how long it would take Wizagram to implode once they posted.

The Posts Heard 'Round the School'

That evening, from opposite common rooms, Harry and Serena posted.

@harryjpotter: Just a good view.
@serenathequeen: Golden hour things.

Same photo. Different pose. Same background. Same blur. Same vibes.

Wizagram? Shattered.

(They're blurred)

Wizagram Comments (Now With Conspiracies)

➥@pansyxoxo: oh. OH.

➥@ronaldw: HARRY IS THIS YOU SOFT LAUNCHING A GIRLFRIEND

➥@dracotok: I see no correlation between the two photos. Just excellent cliff exposure. (Draco liked both posts)

➥@witcheswhosnoop: Who took the pics? WHO WAS THE THIRD WHEEL

➥@slytherin_gossipgirl: you cannot convince me this isn't couple-core

In the Slytherin common room, Serena smirked as she refreshed the app. "They're spiraling."

Draco looked smug. "You're welcome."

Theo peeked over Serena's shoulder. "You know people are going to start 'investigating.'"

"Let them," Harry said, appearing behind Serena with a bowl of popcorn.

"You guys are so annoying," Blaise muttered, already scrolling through the hundreds of comments.

Ginny grinned from the fireplace. "I love this group."

Dinner Drama: Subtlety is Dead

The Great Hall that night was... tense.

Not like Death Eater-tension. More like everyone-trying-not-to-stare-at-Harry-and-Serena tension.

At the Gryffindor table, Ron whispered, "Mate... was that her in the photo?"

Harry, expression blank, said, "No comment."

Ginny, very loudly: "Your 'just a good view' had hips in it."

Over at the Slytherin table, Pansy tried not to shriek. "You soft-launched a relationship and didn't even tell me?!"

Serena blinked. "Pans, you're in the group chat."

"Oh. Right. Sorry, my drama brain took over."

Draco, calmly chewing a breadstick, passed her a note:
"Reminder: We're all pretending it's a coincidence."

Hermione, from across the hall, caught Serena's eye and subtly held up a scorecard: 9.5/10.

Late Night Greenhouse Chat: Blurry But Bright

Later that night, Serena met Harry in the abandoned greenhouse, bundled in her cloak.

"You realize you've started a wizard internet firestorm," she said.

Harry smiled. "We didn't even kiss. Imagine if we did."

She laughed and leaned on his shoulder. "Draco wants to frame the photo and hang it in his dorm."

"I bet he does."

"I think he's secretly our biggest shipper."

"He made us retake one for 'optimal lighting.' I'd say that qualifies."

They shared cocoa and warm silence, curled under the glass dome as snow danced above them.

And even though no one on Wizagram knew for sure-between the friends, the chaos, and the blurry photo-one thing was clear:

Harry Potter and Serena Blackwood? Yeah, they were in it for the long run.
