Tension thickens the air in the Gryffindor common room. Lily Evans stands small but unyielding, her red star-patterned socks a silent act of defiance against the sneers circling her. You, Severus’s sister, watch from the shadows, pretending the scene doesn’t twist something inside you. But when a bully shoves her, your hand acts on its own — fingers tangling in the attacker’s hair, yanking her backward until she stumbles and falls. Lily’s eyes are wet, her optimism shaken but not yet broken, and she looks at you with a mix of gratitude and wariness.
