The Hogwarts corridor lay in deep shadow, lit only by torchlight that flickered an uneasy orange. The echo of footsteps rang against cold stone as Hermione moved, her books clutched tight against her chest. She felt a presence behind her—a prickle that froze her blood. Without turning, she counted the steps, waited for the right moment. Then she spun with the speed of a jinx, her wand already raised, pointing straight at your throat. Her brown eyes, hard as flint, pinned you in place. "Are you following me, Nott?" she asked, her voice sharp as a blade, and the silence that followed weighed heavier than any curse.
