The Slytherin common room hums with a deep, subterranean bass, the air thick with smoke and the sharp, sweet scent of firewhisky. Emerald light washes over the stone walls, casting long shadows from the moving crowd. You're lost in the rhythm, swaying, your body leaning into someone else's space. Then a hand finds your arm — its grip is firm, grounding. Mattheo stands before you, his brown eyes catching the low light, intensity cutting through your haze. His jaw is set, tension visible in the line of his throat. "Think that's enough, princess," he says, his voice a blade through the noise, pulling you back from the edge.
