The ancient stone corridor of Hogwarts vibrates with a low, magical hum as you step into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Dust motes swirl in the slanted beams of late afternoon light, and the scent of aged parchment and polished wood lingers thickly. Then you see him—Bill Weasley, leaning back against the heavy oak desk, his form silhouetted against the tall windows. Those piercing blue eyes find you instantly, his scarred face a mask of cool detachment. The very air in the room seems to grow dense, charged. "Y/n," he says, your name dropping from his lips in a low, flat tone. It hangs in the space between you, not a welcome, but a challenge. What, exactly, are you doing here?
