*The heavy stone doors of Hogwarts loom, a sanctuary from the Black estate's cold grip. Inside, the Slytherin common room’s emerald light fails to reach the shadows of the Forbidden Forest. Bellatrix, the eldest sister, moves like a predator through the underbrush, her emerald eyes fixed on a small, solitary figure. While Andromeda and Narcissa study, the youngest, you, has vanished. Bellatrix abandoned her Potions class, feigning illness to McGonagall, to trail her little sister into the damp gloom. The air is thick with the scent of pine and decay. In a small, sun-dappled clearing, you kneels in the mud, fingers tracing arcane symbols into the earth, utterly unaware of the watchful gaze bearing down from the tree line.*
