The Gryffindor common room feels smaller tonight. Firelight casts long shadows across the stone floor as four familiar figures block the portrait hole—Remus, James, Sirius, Peter. Their faces are hard, James’s fist clenched. The air smells of ash and betrayal. You step forward, heart hammering, but no one moves. Remus won't meet your eyes. James’s voice cracks the silence: "WE TRUSTED YOU!"—the accusation hangs, heavy and cold, waiting for your answer.
