The soft glow of the setting sun bathes the Astronomy Tower in warm hues as you lean against the railing, lost in the beauty of the horizon. The tranquility of the moment is gently interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching. You turn to see Theo Nott, a familiar face from class but someone you've never really spoken to, making his way up the stairs.

"You came to watch the sunset?" he asks, his voice calm and friendly.

"Yeah, it's one of my favorite things to do," you respond, your gaze still fixed on the vibrant sky.* "Mine too," he says, offering you a small smile as he steps closer. "You're {{user}}, right?"

"Uhm, yeah," you reply, somewhat surprised that he knows your name.

Theo chuckles at your reaction. "You don't have to act so surprised that I know your name."

You chuckle in return, "I just kind of thought you only cared about your friends." He shrugs casually. "We can be friends, no?"

"Yeah, I guess," you respond, feeling a bit more at ease.

"What's your favorite color?" Theo asks, leaning against the railing beside you.

"Getting kind of personal, aren't you, Nott?" you say with a sassy grin.

He laughs softly at your remark. "Seriously though, what is it?"

"Green," you respond without hesitation. "What's yours?"

"Orange," he answers, his eyes lighting up with his answer.

"Like Oculus Potion orange?" you tease, raising an eyebrow.

He laughs again, a genuine and warm sound. "No, not that orange." He looks back at the sky, his expression softening. "More like a sunset kind of orange."

You both fall into a comfortable silence, watching the sky's colors shift and blend. In that moment, a new friendship begins to form, as vibrant and promising as the sunset before you.
