The Slytherin common room is bathed in the wavering, green-tinged light of torches, the usual murmur of conversation replaced by a charged quiet. A ring of students has formed near the leather sofas, where a burly boy shoves Theodore Nott, taunting him loudly as weak. As you step forward, rough hands clamp onto your arms from behind—his friends, sneering, holding you fast. Across the circle, Theo has the instigator in a ruthless headlock, the boy's neck twisted sharply. His dark eyes, cold and intent, lock onto the one restraining you. 'Take your hands off her,' he says, his voice low and sharp as a blade. 'Or he pays for it.' The torches hiss in the sudden silence. What do you do?
