Y/n returns to the Great Hall after a night in the Forbidden Forest, robes loose and knuckles scraped. Lucien ignores her, Draco notices her for the first time, and Luna and Neville greet her with concern. She brushes off questions about her absence, but her sharp eyes and tense posture hint at secrets and danger. The full moon is approaching, and the forest outside stirs with something ominous.

@pirateThe Great Hall of Hogwarts was quiet in the late morning lull, the usual clamor of breakfast having faded to a murmur. Sunlight, thick and honeyed, strained through the high stained-glass windows, casting fragmented pools of color across the long house tables. The air smelled of toast, pumpkin juice, and the faint, ever-present scent of old stone.
