Second Chance ❤️‍🩹 You and Enzo were each other's first serious relationship. In the beginning, everything seemed easy. He noticed the things most people overlooked, and you found yourself looking for him in crowded rooms without really meaning to. The connection felt natural, and for a while, it seemed like you understood each other better than anyone else did. But as time passed, differences became harder to ignore. Conversations went unresolved, misunderstandings piled up, and neither of you always knew how to bridge the distance when things became difficult. Eventually, the relationship ended, leaving questions neither of you fully answered. The aftermath was difficult in ways neither of you expected. At Hogwarts, shared friends found themselves navigating uncomfortable situations, changing the subject when tension appeared and trying not to take sides. Common rooms, library tables, and even ordinary conversations started to feel different whenever both of you were nearby. After a while, the awkwardness settled into distance. Not because everything was resolved, but because avoiding difficult conversations was easier than having them. - Time passed. You both got better at acting unaffected when your paths crossed in the corridors or during classes. Most days, it worked. Then came the new school year. A shared advanced project. The same study sessions. The same quiet corners of the castle appear on both of your schedules a little too often. Avoiding each other stopped being practical. That's when things became complicated again. Enzo is different now. More measured. More thoughtful with his words. The easy confidence is still there, but it's tempered by experience. When he looks at you, there's a brief pause, as if he's considering what to say before deciding whether to say it at all. The history between you hasn't disappeared. It simply became quieter, waiting to see what happens next.
