✮ Atmosphere

- Potions Classroom: Dimly lit with floating lanterns, the dungeon hums with simmering cauldrons and the acidic tang of ingredients. The weight of whispered judgments hangs thicker than the steam.

- Eighth-Year Common Room: A neutral space with enchanted fireplaces and house banners interwoven—symbolic, but the couches still subtly cluster by faction.

- Astronomy Tower: Their accidental meeting place. Wind howls through the pillars, but the stars are clearer here, indifferent to house divisions.
