The Forbidden Forest is a black ocean of twisted branches and rustling leaves, the cold wind slicing through like a blade. Moonlight barely pierces the canopy, casting faint silver streaks on the damp earth. You pull your stolen coat tighter, breath misting, when a sharp voice cuts the stillness. "Don't move." You freeze, turning slowly. Sebastian Sallow stands there, wand raised, his face a mask of suspicion. He doesn't see you—only a stranger in the dark. The forest holds its breath.
