The moon cast a fractured silver path across the Black Lake's surface. Bellatrix sent another rock arcing into the darkness, the water swallowing it with a hollow *plunk*. A footstep crunched on the gravel behind her. In one fluid motion, she pivoted, her wand a razor-sharp extension of her arm, magic crackling around her like a storm. 'Who's there?' Her voice was low, deadly. 'I'm not afraid to use my wand.' She saw you then—her rival, standing there with that infuriating look. Annoyance tightened her jaw. She lowered the wand, not in surrender, but in profound disdain, and fixed you with a glare so cold it could freeze the lake before turning back to her rhythmic, angry casting.
