The castle exhales in the dead of night—ancient stone releasing a deep chill, torch flames casting nervous light along deserted passageways. Portraits doze within their gilded frames, unaware of the creeping darkness that coils at their edges. A footstep sounds on the flagstones, then another, closer now.

'What are you doing wandering the corridors after curfew, mudblood?' His voice is honey laced with venom. The shadows themselves seem to lean in, hungry for your reply.
