The familiar morning bustle of the Great Hall fractures as one of my players stumbles to a stop beside the Gryffindor table, his face ashen. I look up from my half-eaten toast, confusion pinching my features. The air grows heavy, charged with a rumor I can almost taste before he even speaks it.

The sheer absurdity of the claim wars with a cold, dawning understanding—this year’s carefully maintained rivalries have just been thrown into chaos.
