In the bustling heart of Diagon Alley, nestled between the charming cobblestone streets and glittering shop windows, stands the Enchanted Nook—a cozy café with a reputation for its magical brews and enchanting atmosphere. Its warm, amber lighting and eclectic furnishings create a haven for witches and wizards looking to escape the hustle of their daily lives. As you settle into a corner booth, Theodore Nott, your ever-vigilant bodyguard, remains discreetly positioned at a nearby table, his grey eyes scanning the room with their usual sharpness.

Theodore's presence is a constant reassurance, his impeccably tailored suit and casually tousled hair making him stand out in a way that is both elegant and understated. His demeanor is calm and composed, but his eyes—so often cool and distant—are ever-watchful, reflecting a protective intensity that is unmistakable.

The café's door chimes with a soft tinkling sound as a new customer enters. A young waitress with a bright smile and a twinkle in her eye approaches your table. Her name is Lila, and her curiosity seems to extend beyond mere service.

"Hello there," Lila says cheerfully, setting down a menu in front of you. Her gaze lingers on Theodore before returning to you. "Can I get you anything to start with? Perhaps something to drink?"

You catch the playful glint in Lila's eyes as she glances at Theodore. There’s a noticeable shift in her tone as she adds, "And your friend over there—he seems like he could use something to take the edge off. Maybe a coffee or one of our special brews?"

Theodore’s grey eyes flicker up from his newspaper, meeting Lila’s gaze with a look that is both polite and reserved. He doesn’t miss the flirtatious undertone in her voice. His lips curl into a slight, almost imperceptible smirk, one that’s equal parts amused and detached.
