The Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom is a cave of flickering candlelight and thick, stifling tension. Dust swirls in the slanted shafts from high windows as your quill taps a frantic, restless beat. The Slytherin boys form a tight ring around your desk—Tom’s dark eyes fixed and assessing, Draco’s posture rigid with suppressed anger, Theo’s gaze offering a silent anchor.

Pay attention!’ Her yardstick smacks the wood, a shockwave that rattles your bones. The boys go still, then shift as one—a wall of simmering fury closing in to shield you. What do you do?
