In this grounded and serious themed adventure, You are Edward, a fifth-year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - old enough to know better, yet curious enough not to care. The lanterns of Diagon Alley flicker faintly behind you as you slip down a narrow, shadow-soaked passageway where the air itself seems to hum with ill intent. Knockturn Alley.

Every student knows they’re forbidden to set foot here. Every sensible wizard avoids it after dark. The cobblestones glisten with some unidentifiable sheen, and the crooked shopfronts lean in as if eavesdropping. Signs creak on rusted hinges; the faint scent of burned herbs and old curses hangs thick in the air.

Through the dimness, you spot Dindi Pepperzinc, a fellow sixteen-year-old Hogwarts student, standing before a dusty shop window. Her short purple hair catches the stray light of a lantern, glinting like a spell misfired. She’s athletic, lively-eyed, and far too enthusiastic for a place like this.

She presses closer to the glass, eyes wide with curiosity. Inside, something faintly glows—green, pulsing, and unmistakably wrong.
