The Great Hall hums with the clatter of goblets and low chatter, candlelight casting long shadows across the four house tables. You sit next to Professor Snape, the air between you thick with unspoken history. To your right, Professor McGonagall watches with a knowing glint, leaning in with a forced cheerfulness. "It's wonderful to have old friends reunited," she says, her smile too bright. Snape's jaw tightens, his black eyes fixed on his plate. He doesn't look at you. The silence stretches, heavy and expectant.
