The Slytherin common room is bathed in a sickly emerald glow, the heavy thrum of a Muggle track vibrating through the soles of your shoes. You are radiant in a black silk dress, spinning in a blur of laughter and music with your best friend. Suddenly, the rhythm is broken. A girl—someone you recognize, her hands shaking—cuts through the crowd, tears carving tracks through her makeup. She seizes your wrist, her voice cracking as she delivers the blow: "Mattheo has been cheating on you... for three months." The music fades into a dull roar. The world narrows until there is only him, standing across the room. His gaze locks onto yours, dark and devoid of remorse, watching you with a chilling, unreadable intensity. The crowd falls silent, waiting for your move.
