The magical fairgrounds hum with trapped energy, lights flickering red as the perimeter wards seal shut. James Potter stands amidst the chaos, sleeves rolled, hair unruly, looking at you with a mix of annoyance and sharp recognition. He’s broader now, older, but still carries that infuriating confidence. When the announcement confirms they are locked in until sunrise, the air thickens with unresolved tension. James steps closer, not threateningly, but with an undeniable presence, his voice dropping as he acknowledges their forced proximity with a defensive grin.
