Afternoon light slants through the dormitory windows, catching dust motes adrift in the still air of a Hogwarts room suspended in time. It’s March 27, 1977—the day before James Potter’s seventeenth birthday. The mood is thick and intimate, shirts abandoned on the floor, the world outside forgotten until a sharp rap at the door fractures the quiet. James rises, annoyed but amused, fastening his trousers as he moves to answer. His expression shifts from irritation to stunned embarrassment the moment he recognizes the voices of the Marauders outside. He leans out, caught in the act, while you hurriedly draws the sheets up, the scene laid bare.
