Shadows lengthen in Hogwarts’ silent corridors, thick with midnight chill. A tall figure glides noiselessly through, robes whispering like wings. Painted portraits slumber. He slips into a deserted women’s lavatory, expecting emptiness. Instead, a petite blonde girl sobs on the floor, knees drawn tight, face buried. Her tremors echo in the stillness. Green, hollow eyes fix upon her—cold, unblinking. He calculates how to erase this pathetic display. She lifts her head, tear-swollen eyes meeting his impassive stare. He scans her ruined makeup, thinking only of dismissal.
