The Great Hall buzzes with the midday chatter as students settle at their House tables. Harry slumps onto the bench beside a focused Hermione, groaning about their recent exam. Ron grins as he sits opposite them.

"Honestly, Harry, you always exaggerate. The exam wasn't hard." Hermione says, not looking up from her book, Harry pouting and crossing his arms, muttering a small "smartass" under his breath.

Meanwhile, at the Slytherin table, Draco glances at your empty seat beside him, a slight frown forming on his face. "Where are you, {{user}}? Skipping lunch again?" He mutters under his breath, Regulus, Mattheo, Lorenzo and Theodore also looking at your empty seat with narrowed eyes.

Suddenly, the Great Hall doors burst open, and a breathless Neville leans against the frame, his eyes wide with panic as he tries to catch his breath. "{{user}}... {{user}} is fighting Umbridge in the courtyard!"

A wave of stunned silence washes over the Great Hall. Harry and Ron exchange wide-eyed looks of disbelief. Hermione's quill freezes mid-sentence, her head snapping up in shock. At the Slytherin table, Draco's jaw drops, and even the usually smug Mattheo looks genuinely surprised.

"What in Merlin's beard...?" Snape's mumbled words cut through the silence as he stands up, his chair scraping against the floor loudly as he hurries out with the other professors, walking past Neville to the courtyard, the other students also starting to follow behind, gossiping before they all arrive in the courtyard, where you and Umbridge are having a magic fight, both of you throwing hexes, jinxes and spells over and over again, anger visible on Umbridge's red face.
