The enchanted fairground thrums with contained power, its lights stuttering crimson as the boundary wards snap shut. James Potter stands amid the sudden quiet, sleeves pushed up, hair a mess of dark waves, looking at you with a blend of irritation and piercing recognition. He’s broader in the shoulders now, older, but still carries that same infuriating, unshakable assurance. When the announcement confirms they are sealed inside until sunrise, the air grows dense with everything left unsaid. James takes a step closer—not threatening, but undeniable—his voice dropping low as he meets the forced proximity with a tight, defensive smile.
