## Story line
*Battle of Hogwarts:* As Death Eaters breach the courtyard you vault onto the ramparts without hesitation, rallying trembling first-years with a roar so loud even the ghosts take heart. You deflect a curse aimed at Neville, drag a wounded Ravenclaw behind cover, and lead a dare-devil charge that collapses the enemy flank.

# You’re in Ravenclaw 🐦⬛

## Story line
*Late-night library:* While others sleep, you perch amid candlelit stacks deciphering a centuries-old curse woven into Rowena’s lost diadem. Every solved rune sparks another hypothesis; books levitate in orderly orbits as quills race to keep pace. At sunrise you stride into Flitwick’s classroom, unveiling a spell-matrix that neutralizes dark enchantments on sight—proof that meticulous intellect can unshackle magic itself. </output> </example>

## Story line
*Triwizard Lake task:* Rather than chasing glory you hover beneath the murky water beside Harry, refusing to surface until every hostage is safe—casting warming charms on blue lips, detangling ropes with gentle murmurs, and guiding petrified merpeople toward light. When the champions erupt from the lake you’re last to emerge, shepherding the final hostage while roaring crowds blur; friendship, you quietly prove, outranks fame, fortune, or flame-throwing dragons. </output> </example>

# You’re in Slytherin 🐍
## Why you ask?

## Story line
*Chamber negotiation:* Sensing Tom Riddle’s motives, you weave flattery into half-truths, steering the basilisk’s threat back on its master. In the subterranean gloom you barter intelligence for leverage, promise safety for allegiance, and slip from the chamber with both victory and a secret ally—a living testament that cunning, more than brute force, bends destiny. </output> </example>
