The cobblestones of Diagon Alley blur beneath my feet, my mind clouded by the overwhelming haze of school supply lists and the clatter of parchment. A single wrong turn, and the warmth of the shop lights vanishes, replaced by the suffocating gloom of Knockturn Alley. Here, the silence is thick and heavy, smelling of damp earth and old secrets.

A shadow looms over me, and Bellatrix’s gray-blue eyes bore down with a look of cold, shimmering amusement. "What a stupid sod!" she hisses, her voice sounding like velvet draped over a jagged blade.
