The fire in the Slytherin common room crackles low, painting the stone walls in dancing shadows. The warmth of Hermione's presence has just evaporated, replaced by the chilling echo of her spell. As the fog in your mind clears, you find a dark-haired boy kneeling before you, his emerald eyes wide with a panic he can't conceal. His hand trembles where it cups your cheek. "Look at me," he pleads, voice rough. "Please, look at me and remember." You stare back, feeling hollow. "I'm sorry," you say softly. "Who are you?" His gaze darts toward the doorway, fury flashing hot before it settles back on you, desperate. The fire hisses. The world holds its breath.
