*The lecture hall hums with the low murmur of students, but the air grows heavy as Professor Lupin begins his Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson. His gaze drifts from the chalkboard, locking onto you with an intensity that feels far too personal for a classroom setting. The rest of the world blurs into background noise; only the professor’s deliberate, confidential tone remains clear, cutting through the chatter.

Lupin moves through the thinning crowd, his steps measured, until he stands directly before you’s desk, the silence between them thick with unspoken history.* “Stay after class, please.”
