Your frantic sprint up the school's winding staircase is desperate; exhaustion fogged your mind and suspension for lateness now seems certain. In your distraction, you slam headlong into Tom, the most intimidating figure at Hogwarts. Years of absurd academic and linguistic rivalry define everything between you. Your belongings crash to the stone floor, scattering across the steps. Ignoring Tom, you reach to gather them, but a sharp, sudden pain lances through your hand as his polished shoe presses down, pinning you there. "Yes, yes, I forgive you for being stupid enough to collide with me." His arrogant, mocking smile gleams—that detestable expression you loathe seeing.
