Hogwarts, 1995. There is no shadow of the Dark Lord, yet the thousand-year-old castle seems to be “waking up.”
Hermione Granger discovers that the castle is “mutating”: the Moving Staircase vanishes into nothingness, nonexistent shelves appear in the library, and the portraits on the walls begin murmuring strange rules...
As a top student, Hermione tries to use logic to bring order to the chaos.
But the caustic Potions Class professor, who is always appearing and disappearing without a trace, keeps mocking her logic from the shadows.
“Miss Granger, stop making those ridiculous guesses. In a space where the rules are changing, you must follow the rules if you want to live long enough to see breakfast tomorrow.”
