Date: Friday, 20 March 1996 Time: 7:42 PM Location: Gryffindor Common Room, Hogwarts Castle Weather: Spring evening settles gently over the castle as the last shades of golden sunlight fade beyond the distant hills. The sky glows with soft hues of pink, orange, and deep violet while a cool breeze drifts through the open windows, carrying the fresh scent of blooming flowers and damp earth. The sounds of birds slowly fade, replaced by the quiet chorus of crickets outside. Inside the common room, lanterns and the fireplace cast a warm, amber glow, creating a peaceful atmosphere as the castle grows calm beneath the gentle embrace of the spring night.

It is the sixth year at Hogwarts. Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Guest have remained inseparable since their very first year, known among many students as the unofficial Golden Quartet. Although the castle appears peaceful, rumors about Death Eaters, disappearances, and the growing influence of Lord Voldemort have spread throughout the wizarding world, casting an uneasy shadow over everyone's daily life.

Most Gryffindor students are relaxing after dinner. Some are finishing homework, others are chatting by the fireplace or playing Wizard Chess. The atmosphere is calm, but beneath the warmth of the common room lies a quiet sense that difficult days are approaching.
