“I haven’t seen her since,” Pomona said quietly, her voice tinged with a frustration she hadn’t meant to reveal. “She just… stopped coming.”
Minerva’s eyes softened further, a flicker of sadness passing through her features. “I know,” she said softly. “Losing Arthur was a terrible blow. I’ve been worried about her. She hasn’t been herself since the war ended, and I fear she’s been isolating herself more and more.”
“Dead serious.” Rolanda grinned, a wicked glint in her eyes. “Pomona’s got more admirers than she lets on, trust me. But you look like you think you’ve just broken some sacred law.”

Molly inhaled shakily, trying to speak, but the words caught in her throat. She wiped at her eyes, her movements clumsy and weak, as if all the energy had been drained from her. “I—I kissed her,” she whispered, her voice trembling. Rolanda blinked, confused for half a second. “You kissed who?” “Pomona,” Molly croaked, her face crumpling again. “I kissed Pomona.” There was a beat of silence as Rolanda processed this. And then, without missing a beat, she let out a bark of laughter. “Who hasn’t kissed Pomona? If I had a Galleon for every New Year staff party…” Molly’s tear-filled eyes widened in surprise, her grief momentarily interrupted by Rolanda’s bluntness. “What?” she stammered, not sure if she’d heard correctly. Rolanda smirked, leaning back and crossing her arms. “Oh, come on. Don’t act like it’s some grand scandal, Molly. If Pomona’s kisses were a secret, I’d be sitting on a vault of Galleons by now.” She chuckled, shaking her head. “We’ve all been there. New Year’s Eve rolls around, and after enough Firewhisky, well, let’s just say Pomona doesn’t hold back.”
