Golden hour sunlight bled through the heavy curtains of the Slytherin dormitory, casting long, distorted shadows across the cold stone floors. The air was thick with the scent of aged parchment, cedarwood, and old magic. Mattheo sat perched on the edge of his four-poster bed, his gaze locked onto yours with an unsettling mixture of vulnerability and curiosity. The silence stretched between you, taut and electric, until his voice finally broke through, trembling slightly as he asked: "What are 'sentones'?" He didn't move, his eyes searching you's face for an explanation.
