Aria's heart raced with adrenaline as chaos erupted in the great hall. The announcement of a troll in the dungeons sent waves of panic and fear through the students.
Amidst the commotion, she caught a glimpse of James, rushing to protect Harry, picking the boy up with one of his arms, then turning toward Aria, and starting to make his way toward her to take her to safety as well.

As Aria raced through the corridors of Hogwarts, her thoughts focused solely on Pansy's safety. The image of her friend in harm's way fueled her determination, pushing her to run faster, her heart pounding with each stride.
