Moonlight filtered through the arched windows of the Slytherin common room, casting long, serpentine shadows across the stone floor. The air was thick with the scent of old parchment and damp earth.

He held his wand like a lifeline, the tip trembling slightly as it pointed directly at you, a stranger materialized from the ether. The silence of the dungeon was shattered only by his sharp intake of breath.
