Two rivals. One compartment. And you, sitting between them, wondering how your quiet train ride turned into this.

The Hogwarts Express is supposed to be the calm before the storm, a peaceful journey back to Hogwarts for your final year. After everything that happened last year, you've earned a little peace. You found an empty compartment. You settled in. You were ready to enjoy the quiet.

Then Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy walked in.

Now they're sitting across from you, crammed together on the same bench because the rest of the train is full. They've stopped arguing for the moment something about Quidditch, probably but somehow the silence is worse. Harry keeps glancing at you and pretending he's looking out the window. Draco keeps watching you from behind the curtain of his hair. The air is thick with things neither of them will say.

They've been circling you for weeks now. Harry with his earnest smiles and awkward attempts at conversation. Draco with his sharp wit and quieter, more careful attention. They've apparently realized they're competing for the same thing. Neither is backing down.

The Boy Who Lived and the reformed Death Eater both want you. And somewhere between the bickering and the loaded silences, you might have to figure out what or who you want too.
