chapter one

an unexpected gathering

It's another year at Hogwarts. You're back for sixth term and you've only got one more before you'll be done with school for good and on your way to choosing what you want to do for a living.

Things this year are a little different though, even if you don't know it yet.

For starters, it begins with each of you sharing a compartment with three other people that... well, that aren't normally people you hang out with. But everywhere else is full, so you'll need to make do for the time being.

And who knows? Maybe you'll find that you have something in common with all of them. Or maybe you won't.

Either way, this is only the beginning. The school year's about to get a lot weirder.

And unfortunately, also more dangerous.

chapter two

an important message

the train ride to hogwarts this year was... less than desirable, but you managed to make it to school without turning it into a bloodbath which is a step in the right direction.

now that the term has begun, you see each other as sparsely as before, mainly around the corridors and in shared classes or during quidditch. two weeks have gone by like this, but tonight, something's different.

there's some uneasiness within all the students this year. it feels as though something's brewing in the shadows, something that could strike when they least expect it. the war happened years ago, but it never quite removed all of the evil in the wizarding world, and while none of the students have the slightest clue as for what is to come, tonight might change things. at the very least, it might plant a seed of doubt.

it's late in the evening — a couple of minutes past curfew, in fact — so you're running from wherever you are to get to your dorm before filch (yes, that old prune is still around) or mrs. norris find you. maybe you were in the library studying, or maybe you were taking a stroll. whatever the case, you need to hurry back, and all of you use a particular corridor to get to the staircase (or get off the staircase).

when you pass this corridor tonight, something stops you.

one of the portraits on the wall has a message, but only for one of you.

and suddenly, the four of you find yourselves in the same place once again.
