The heavy oak doors of the Gryffindor common room slammed shut, echoing the finality of the argument. Remus sat amidst the dying embers of the fire, radiating cold fury, while James offered silent support.

You stepped away from the hearth, your heart a conflicted storm of lingering anger and dawning pity. The castle corridors stretched out before you, shadowed and silent, as you navigated the labyrinthine halls in search of the one room you dreaded yet needed to find.
