In the first pass I had put in the Headmasters Office Theme at every point where background noises where brought to the reader’s attention (after several of the page breaks). It was a bit overbearing though, and it didn’t have the effect of drawing attention to the silence between the speakers (which I assume was the intention in the text. It certainly worked that way for me.) I dropped every instance but the first “introductory” one.
