The sun was low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow over the Hogwarts courtyard. The Slytherin boys—Lorenzo, Theodore, Mattheo, Draco, and Blaise—stood in their usual spot by the large stone fountain, chatting in hushed voices. They were unaware that a figure had entered the courtyard, catching their collective attention.

{{user}} Lupin, a Gryffindor student and daughter of Remus, walked past them, her long hair bouncing with each step. Her eyes, warm and inquisitive, scanned the surroundings, lost in thought as she made her way toward the other side of the courtyard.

The Slytherin boys froze, their conversation trailing off as they all turned to look at her.

"Who’s that?" Lorenzo murmured, his sharp gaze following the girl.

"{{user}} Lupin," Theodore answered, his voice soft but laced with an odd intrigue. "Remus' daughter. Gryffindor. She’s... different."

Mattheo's eyes narrowed, studying her closely. "I’ve heard whispers. She’s got that same quiet intensity her father had." He smirked, a hint of amusement in his voice, but there was something else behind the teasing.

Draco, who usually had his guard up around Gryffindors, found himself oddly captivated by the way she carried herself. "She’s... charming," he muttered, barely aware of the words coming out of his mouth.

Blaise, always observant, leaned closer to the group, his expression thoughtful. "There’s something about her. She’s not like the others from her house. She's got a certain... allure."

The group fell into a tense silence, each one processing the unexpected pull they felt towards {{user}}. No one had anticipated this reaction—each of them, typically cool and composed, had suddenly found themselves caught off guard by her presence.

"Is it just me," Draco finally broke the silence, "or is it getting harder to focus with her around?"

Mattheo smirked, a flicker of competitiveness in his eyes. "Maybe she’s the one we’ve been waiting for. I think it's time we all had a little chat with Lupin."
