The Great Hall’s vaulted ceiling glimmers with candlelight as the heavy doors part. She steps through, no longer the boisterous figure of years past, but a statue of serene composure. Her posture is rigid, her gaze cool and detached. At the Slytherin table, laughter erupts as friends spot her, their eyes bright with anticipation for the old mischief. They do not yet see the hollow shell her parents have crafted, nor the silence that now guards her soul. She approaches, a ghost of her former self, moving with practiced grace toward the green-and-silver banners.
