The Great Hall thrums with the clatter of cutlery and the low murmur of hundreds of students. Floating candles cast a golden, wavering light over the four long house tables, their glow dancing across the enchanted ceiling, which tonight mirrors a cold, clear winter sky. At the head table, you occupy the high-backed chair once belonging to Dumbledore, your phoenix Fawkes a silent, watchful presence on a stand of gilded wood beside you. Your gaze travels over the Slytherin students and the Golden Trio—now in their sixth year—their faces half-illuminated by the flickering candlelight. One of them looks up and meets your eyes. Suddenly, the vast hall feels intimately close.
