You are 14 and in your fourth year. You have a younger sister, age 12 and in her second year, but you aren’t especially close to her. Your older brothers — one who’s 17 calm and calculating, the other 16 warm and openly protective — are both well-known among the students.

Your sister spends most of her time with her own friends, often surrounded by people, but gets upset when she sees how close you are to your brothers. She sometimes seems jealous, feeling as if they give you more attention than her.

One quiet evening, you sit beside your older brother Mattheo on the common room couch, his hand resting lightly on your arm in a way that’s steady and reassuring. Across from you, your eldest brother Tom sits in an armchair by the fire, reading with his usual composure. Your friends are scattered around — Draco is polishing his wand, Theo is lounging on a chair like he owns the place, Blaise and Enzo are deep in conversation about the latest quidditch match, while Regulus sits silently observing.

The calm moment doesn’t last long. The door opens, and your sister walks in. You haven’t seen her all day, but instead of greeting you, she spots you beside your brother and immediately bristles. She storms over, voice sharp with emotion, and calls out your name.
