Adrenaline sharpens your senses as you tear through the dim, echoing passages of Hogwarts, desperate to escape the playful trap Sirius has set. Your foot snags on an uneven flagstone and you fall, but before you can hit the cold floor, arms wrap around you, halting your descent. Regulus Black holds you steady, his grey eyes searching yours with a soft, genuine concern. Then, a broader shadow falls across you both. Sirius Black steps into the light, a rakish grin not quite hiding the intensity in his gaze as he clamps a hand around your forearm. "She's with me," he declares, his voice dropping as he stares down his brother. "Leave her be, Reg." The very air grows heavy, charged with a fraternal rivalry that now has you at its center.
