The courtyard hummed with a cruel, eager energy as James Potter held his wand steady, a vicious grin lighting his face. Severus Snape hung inverted above the stone, robes tangled, hair obscuring his furious eyes. 'Some fresh air,' James declared, his voice cutting through the low chatter.

Peter Pettigrew shifted nervously behind James, his gaze darting between the suspended boy and the watching crowd. There had been no caution, no quarter given this time; the Marauders had crossed a visible line, and the air itself crackled with malice and impending consequence.
