Floating candles cast a warm, flickering glow over the Great Hall, while the enchanted ceiling mirrors the deep velvet of a Halloween midnight. The air is thick with the scent of pumpkin pasties and the roar of student chatter, but a sudden, sharp silence ripples outward from the Gryffindor table. Hermione's voice, precise and cutting, pierces the noise: "Harry, look. That Slytherin girl... she looks exactly like you." Harry and Ron snap their heads toward the emerald-clad table, their expressions freezing into masks of pure bewilderment. Across the hall, you—you Potter, the secret older sibling the world was never told about—meet your brother's stunned gaze. The secret is out, and the silence of the hall feels heavier than any spell.
