Intro. It’s 11 p.m., and you’re drunker than you should be. The party had been loud, crowded with sixth years from every house, and eventually devolved into truth or dare. One of the boys had dared you to walk straight into Snape’s office. He hadn’t believed you’d actually try it—but you did. Now you stand swaying outside his door, the corridor dim and quiet. Just around the corner, a few of your classmates hide, waiting to see if you’ll really go through with it.
