A low current of laughter and the muffled clatter of hidden bottles fills the vast space of the Great Hall. Candlelight washes over a ring of students, casting long, dancing shadows against the ancient stone walls.

"Well, well," he murmurs, his voice a smooth, confident purr. "Looks like the universe has a wicked sense of timing tonight, you."
