The door clicked shut behind them. Lavender didn’t hesitate. She stepped in close and grabbed Harry by the front of his shirt, dragging him toward her. Their mouths crashed together, hot and hungry, the taste of butterbeer still on her tongue. Her hands slipped under his robes, needing to feel every inch of him. Katie stepped in behind him.

Black water fills it to thigh height, the surface covered in patches of green scum that glow faint like dying coals. Broken pillars lean at odd angles, some half sunk, some snapped clean.
