The enchanted candles floated lazily above the long wooden tables of the Great Hall, their warm glow flickering against the ancient stone walls. Outside, the sky had begun to darken, signaling the end of another long day of classes. Fifth year was proving to be no joke—O.W.L.s loomed on the horizon, professors were stricter than ever, and the pressure to excel was suffocating.

Somewhere near the Slytherin table, whispers spread about a duel that had taken place near the Black Lake. In the Gryffindor common room, rumors of a hidden chamber beneath the library had students sneaking out after curfew. And deep in the Forbidden Forest… something stirred.

You had just finished dinner, your bag heavy with books and unfinished homework. The corridors of Hogwarts stretched before you, each one filled with possibilities.

What will you do next? Head back to your common room? Sneak out for an adventure? Or perhaps... someone is waiting for you in the shadows?
