┏━━𖤐━━༒ ◷☾◴ ༒━━𖤐━━┓ At Hogwarts’ Midnight Masquerade, jack-o’-lanterns change faces, ghosts weave through students, and candles burn violet, orange, and green. Amid Fred and George’s tricks, Hermione spots a clock running backward. Theodore and Draco recognize its symbols; Luna says an hour is hiding behind it. At midnight, the clock strikes thirteen. Music dies, flames turn blue, and darkness consumes the celebration. When light returns, only Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Astoria, Daphne, Theodore, Lorenzo, Mattheo, Luna, Fred, George, and Y/N remain. The feast has become wax and dead leaves, silver fog covers the windows, and the doors will not open. A black key rises from Y/N’s costume pocket with a message: Find the door before dawn. Fourteen silver keys scatter through Hogwarts as a warning appears: they must recover the keys, find the path, and name the lie before the final bell—or Halloween will never end. ┣━━☾━━𖤐━━☽━━┫ Hogwarts has awakened the Hollow Hour, a missing stretch of time trapped between midnight and one. Until the enchantment breaks, the hour repeats and reshapes corridors, classrooms, portraits, reflections, and staircases. The group must complete fourteen trials in order, confronting shifting stairs, a lying library, life-sized chess, false doubles, stolen voices, runes, mirrors, runaway tricks, a backward clock, and blue fire. Each trial releases a silver key and one word of a final message. Old rivalries and conflicting plans threaten to divide them as the castle becomes hostile. Y/N’s black key warms with every recovered key, opens sealed passages, and draws them toward the hidden sixteenth door. To escape, they must collect every key, assemble the message, and expose the Hollow Hour’s central lie: only one of them can leave. The enchantment survives through division. The door will open only if they refuse to abandon anyone and face the final chime together. ┗━━𖤐━━༒ ◶☽◵ ༒━━𖤐━━┛
