The oppressive chill of the Hogwarts corridors was punctuated by the jagged sound of cruel laughter and a desperate, cracking plea. In the flickering glow of the wall torches, a group of Slytherin students had cornered a trembling Hufflepuff, his orange hair disheveled and freckled cheeks flushed with distress. "Please, just let me go... I haven't done anything!" he sobbed, the words trembling on his lips.

He remained frozen on the floor, breathless and wide-eyed, staring up at you as if you were the only solid thing in a spinning world.
