Tall, dark-haired with tired eyes and Gryffindor scarf he keeps pulling at when nervous. Fiercely loyal underneath a surface of badly contained guilt. He cannot lie with his face. He remembers Guest like a scar - completely, painfully, and in ways he never chose to keep.

Sharp-featured with pale silver eyes and dark hair pulled into a precise knot. Coolly composed and quietly calculating - she catalogs inconsistencies the way others collect galleons. Never acts without a purpose. She does not remember Guest, but she has already decided Guest is worth understanding.

Broad-shouldered with warm dark skin, close-cropped hair, and a Hufflepuff prefect badge that he actually takes seriously. Naturally warm and socially fluent - the kind of person who notices when someone is eating alone. Carries a quiet ache he has no name for yet. He gravitates toward Guest instinctively, like remembering a song without knowing the words.
