Hogwarts was full of secrets.

But not all of them whispered. Some waited. Some watched.

And Harry was starting to feel like something — or someone — was watching him now.

🏰 Whispers Behind the Wall

It started on a rainy Saturday.

The corridors were mostly empty, students tucked inside common rooms with hot chocolate and homework. Harry was heading back from the library — alone — when he heard it.

"Sssstthh…"

A hiss behind the wall.

He stopped, heart thudding.

It wasn't Parseltongue. Not quite. But it had the rhythm of it. Ancient. Smooth. Measured.

He pressed his ear to the wall.

Nothing.

Then — something clicked.

The stone beneath his feet shifted.

Harry jumped back just as the wall beside the tapestry of Branwen the Brave shimmered and flickered — like water rippling.

A soft breeze drifted out from it, smelling of stone dust and magic.

Harry stepped closer.

Behind the shimmer, he saw a narrow hallway, lit only by blue fire along the edges of the stone.

And on the archway above the passage:

Only the Forgotten Shall Pass.

🔍 Into the Unknown

He looked around. No Filch. No Peeves. No students.

And no Hermione or Ron to stop him.

He took a step through.

The air turned colder. The walls narrowed. His wand sparked with faint golden static, reacting to something old in the magic of the place.

It didn't feel like Hogwarts. Not entirely.

There was something deeper. Older than the castle itself.

His footsteps echoed eerily. As he walked, runes began glowing along the wall — not Latin. Not English. Not even Gobbledegook.

He reached for the piece of Seraphina's mirror, which he still carried in the inside pocket of his robe. It vibrated faintly — then warmed.

The runes translated themselves before his eyes.

"Memory lives where shadow dies.Blood remembers what stone forgets.Speak the name buried in silence."

Harry swallowed.

He knew what it wanted.

He raised his wand.

"Seraphina Ravenclaw."

The flames along the corridor surged violet.

And a second door opened.

🌀 The Chamber of Echoes

The new chamber was circular. Dusty. Silent. With walls covered in mirrors — all blank, all cold.

In the center, a stone plinth rose from the floor.

And on it…

A single feather.Blue-black. Raven.

And beneath it, carved in deep letters:

"She spoke what was forbidden.She remembered what we chose to forget."

"This is the First Echo."

Harry picked up the feather.

It hummed in his fingers — then released a burst of images:

A girl, standing in the rain, arguing with someone in red robes.

A shattered staff buried in ice.

A great spiral tower collapsing in on itself.

Four figures — founders — standing in a circle, but one turns away.

And then…

A voice:

"He betrayed her. They all did."

"So she left behind what they couldn't control — memory."

🧠 The Memory Echo

When Harry returned to the castle, the feather still in hand, he found Hermione pacing in the common room with Ron.

"Where have you been?!" she blurted.

"You wouldn't believe me."

Ron eyed the feather. "Please tell me you didn't touch something cursed."

"It's not cursed," Harry said. "I think… it's a key. Or a map. It's called the First Echo."

Hermione took it carefully and studied it.

"It's not just magical," she whispered. "It's linked to something… like a memory beacon."

She looked up, eyes wide. "Harry, this is real. The Tower. The Heir. The riddles — all of it."

Ron groaned. "Brilliant. Can't we just have one normal year?"

🕯 A New Warning

That night, a new dream came.

But this one wasn't from Seraphina.

Harry stood inside a great observatory, stars spinning too fast above his head.

A voice he didn't recognize spoke from the dark:

"You are not ready.She lies. The Tower deceives.Turn back."

He turned to look — but saw only shadows.

The dream collapsed.

He woke up in cold sweat.
