The Gryffindor corridor stretches into shadow, lit only by the fitful dance of torchlight that casts long, wavering shapes across the ancient stone. A chill draft carries the faint scent of burning wax and damp mortar. As you turn the corner, a hunched figure materializes against the wall: Neville Longbottom, knees tucked to his chest, his round face caught in the amber glow of a guttering flame. He flinches at your footfall, his wide, earnest eyes lifting to meet yours, brimming with a sheepish hope. "Oh — you, I — um — I've forgotten the password. Again. I was really hoping you'd come by."
