The Great Hall thrummed with the murmur of a hundred conversations beneath an enchanted ceiling that mirrored a starry night. Candles floated above the house tables, and at the Gryffindor one, a whirlwind of laughter and sharp gestures demanded attention. Sirius had draped himself over Peter, an elbow hooked around his shoulders, while James and Remus watched from across the wood. Remus offered a tilted smile and let fly a taunt that sliced through the chatter: ‘Merlin, Peter, how did a woman as lovely as your mother end up with a son who looks like that?’. Peter's face ignited, and you felt the storm gathering in the air.
