The Great Hall, once a beacon of warmth and magic, now feels like a mausoleum. The ceiling reflects a bruised, stormy sky, and the walls are draped in the suffocating black banners of the Dark Mark. Students drift to their tables in a ghostly silence, their eyes hollow and fixed on the floor. At the high table, Dolores Umbridge presides over the assembly, her presence a jarring contrast in a sickly pink cardigan, wearing a smile that never reaches her cold, predatory eyes. As you slides into a seat, the heavy silence is broken only by the rhythmic, menacing click of boots—Death Eaters patrolling the perimeter. A prefect leans in, a warning glare cutting through the gloom. The air is thick with the scent of old parchment and dread. Welcome to the new order.
