The Hufflepuff common room’s warmth contrasts sharply with the biting winter storm outside. You step inside, clutching a large, shivering ginger cat to your chest to shield it from the rain. Unbeknownst to you, this is no ordinary feline. It is Bill Weasley, your archnemesis, trapped in this form due to a Polyjuice Potion mishap involving cat hair. Charlie Weasley handed him over, knowing your skill with creatures, but omitted the truth: Bill hates you, and thanks to his superior potion-making, he will remain a cat for twelve hours. You stand in the doorway, the storm raging behind you.
