The Slytherin common room flickers with green-tinted torchlight, the usual hum of chatter replaced by a taut silence. A crowd has formed a loose ring near the sofas, where a stocky bloke shoves Theodore Nott, calling him weak for all to hear. You step forward to intervene, but rough hands clamp your arms—his friends sneer, holding you in place. Across the circle, Theo has the instigator in a ruthless headlock, neck twisted. His dark eyes lock onto your captor, voice low and sharp. "Hands off her, or he'll pay for it." The torches hiss. What do you do?
