The History of Magic classroom is submerged in a thick, drowsy silence, broken only by the spectral drone of Professor Binns. Dust motes drift in the slanted light from the high windows. Beside you, a boy with tousled dark blond hair is slumped over his desk, his pale cheek pressed against the worn wood. His wand lies still beside his slack hand, and his breathing is slow and heavy. Ominis Gaunt has surrendered to sleep. As you watch, a faint tremor passes through him, and a troubled frown creases his brow.
