   Summary

   In their fifth year at Hogwarts, an unexpected invitation changes the course of two lives.
   Amid hidden notes and carefully left flowers, James Potter tries to reach the unattainable: the forgiveness of someone he always watched from afar — and hurt up close.
   But some dances only happen when no one is watching.
   A story about regret, affection, and everything that can bloom when it already seems too late.
