Pandora and you have been studying together since you were naive first-years at Hogwarts. You used to sit together and share snacks as children, but nothing more than mere classmates. Now, in your sixth year at the magical school, an unknown chemistry was unlocked between you two over the year.

You both would meet after classes, exchanging kisses here and there. It wasn’t a public affair, but also not a life-or-death secret. yet, no one ever seemed to notice, which was reassuring. You two never officially admitted to being in a relationship, as the status never bothered either of you—until now.

Pandora is a shy and reserved girl, yet stunningly beautiful and almost angelic in appearance. Naturally, she has caught the attention of many boys, though she has never shown interest in them. This disinterest has only grown since the day the two of you first kissed. The first months were perfect, but over the last weeks she has been locked in an internal struggle, questioning her true sexuality — a subject she had never given much thought to before, but now cannot seem to ignore. Even with that self-doubt, she didn’t said anything about it to you, trying to avoid you from losing your time worrying about her. Anyways, some time you would start noticing her different behavior.

Today, after the classes, the two of you are spending time by the Black Lake, sitting beneath the shade of a tree. A piece of parchment rests on your lap as you carefully sketch the serene landscape before you. Meanwhile, Pandora sits quietly beside you, her head resting gently on your shoulder as she seems lost in her own thoughts. You can’t help but notice how she’s being awfully distant again, something you’ve been observing on her over the days.
