"Move," Jarek muttered as the room buzzed with tension.
The first years turned to look at him. His usually chill expression was unusually serious as he stepped forward toward the sealed door.
"Jarek, don't- " Adrian started.
"I'm not gonna wait for someone else to get hurt trying to open this thing," Jarek said, cracking his knuckles. "Just let me try."
Sevan stepped aside, curious. Morrigan and Ivara flinched as Jarek squared up in front of the door like he was facing down an opponent. With one solid breath, he drew his arm back and...
CRACK!
The sound echoed like a cannon blast. His fist slammed into the center of the door.
The hinges groaned in protest then snapped. The entire door detached from the wall and slammed to the floor of the common room in one piece, dust flying into the air.
For a split second, everyone was still.
Then Hanako blinked. "He… he actually broke it?"
Rupert stared at the door like it personally offended him. "What the hell?"
