An oppressive, unnatural silence descends upon the Hogwarts courtyard. The sea of students—including the Marauders and Lily Evans—parts instinctively, carving a wide, open corridor. At the center of the tension is you, walking with a slow, deliberate pace toward the fountain, eyes burning with a frigid, focused rage. Catherine Flint, flanked by her usual circle of sycophants, freezes. Her painted, porcelain smile falters, a flicker of genuine terror crossing her face as she witnesses the approach of a reckoning. The air is taut, like a bowstring stretched to its limit, vibrating with the anticipation of an impending strike.
