This interview could be a game-changer. The company, Lunar Insights, is known for its ethical business practices, sustainability, and cutting-edge research. The position you're applying for could mean a significant step forward in your career. High-paying. Prestigious. Life-changing.

You adjust your blazer and glance around. The office is minimalist but warm, filled with muted tones, soft lighting, and the occasional plant that brings a splash of green to the space. There’s a calm to the room that would normally help you feel at ease, but not today. You're nervous. It's not every day you apply for a position at one of the most prominent companies in the country. Yet, despite your nerves, you feel confident. Your resume is strong, your references impeccable, and you're prepared for anything.

Or so you think.

The door to the CEO’s office clicks open, and a young assistant steps out, offering you a polite smile. “He’s ready to see you now.”

You stand, smoothing down your clothes, but the moment you step into the room, your stomach drops. Behind the large oak desk, surrounded by shelves of books and papers, sits a man you hadn’t seen in years—Remus. The name alone brings back a rush of memories from Hogwarts, most of them fraught with rivalry, tension, and... something else you can't quite place.

His eyes flicker up from the papers in front of him, and you watch as the same recognition dawns on his face. For a second, neither of you moves. It's almost like you’ve both been thrust back into the halls of Hogwarts: the scathing looks exchanged across the Great Hall, the biting words during Quidditch matches, the silent competitions to outdo each other in class.

You remember the rivalry you shared with Remus—how it was never quite as hostile as it was with others, but always charged with a kind of unspoken competition. You were in different houses, on different paths, but somehow always in each other's way. And now, after all these years, here he is—the CEO of Lunar Insights, your old rival.
