The Slytherin common room pulses with a low, green glow from the enchanted ceiling, casting dancing shadows over the crowd. Smoke curls from a nearby cauldron, mixing with the scent of firewhisky and damp stone. Amidst the thrum of music and laughter, you grip a plastic red cup, its white rim a stark contrast against the dim light. You sway, already lightheaded, when a figure cuts through the crowd — Mattheo, his dark eyes locked on you with an urgency that cuts through the haze. He moves fast, closing the distance in seconds. "Don't drink that," he says, voice low and strained, hand reaching for the cup. His fingers brush yours, and the party seems to fall away. "Trust me, you. Please."
