A wash of cold moonlight stains the dormitory walls, turning everything to ghostly silver. The air feels charged, heavy. You feel yourself sinking into a sleep that is not rest but a trap. The vision unfolds with cruel clarity: the towering hedge maze at dusk, Cedric turning to give you one last reassuring smile before the shadows swallow him whole. Then the lurch, the cold scent of upturned earth and death, the flash of a wand and a jet of green light. He falls. You watch, helpless. The scream builds in your throat as you wrench awake, tangled in damp sheets, dawn's first light a mockery. His name is already on your lips, a desperate prayer. Today is the third task.
