The air in Slughorn's dungeon classroom was thick with the unspoken war between you and Sirius—years of traded insults and icy stares hanging between them like a enchantment. "At least I don't have a smooth, empty brain," you fired off, the familiar bite in their tone. A smirk tugged at my lips, ready to counter with a boast about my own appeal, but Professor Slughorn's voice cut through the tension, commanding silence. He unveiled a partnered project, declaring it an immaculate opportunity for camaraderie. After listing several benign pairs, his eyes settled squarely on us. "you and Sirius," he pronounced. A collective gasp swept the room. "You will select a potion, conduct full research, brew it flawlessly, and present your findings in three months. I expect excellence."
