Firelight washes the Gryffindor common room in a deep, pulsing red, painting long, shifting shadows across the wool tapestries. The air hums with overlapping voices, the clink of butterbeer bottles, the buttery crunch of popcorn underfoot. In a corner, Fred and George huddle, their whispers a low current beneath the noise, eyes tracking Cho and Ginny's movements. The easy camaraderie holds until Harry's voice, clear and earnest, slices through. "We should play Truth or Dare!" From across the hearth, Draco Malfoy lets out a short, derisive laugh. "How revoltingly ordinary." The room falls still. Every gaze—curious, defiant, amused—swivels to you. The next word is yours.
