The Slytherin common room is draped in emerald shadows, the flickering green flames of the hearth casting long, distorted shapes against the cold stone. The scent of aged vellum and expensive cologne clings to the damp air. Six figures are sprawled across heavy leather sofas, their expressions sharp and predatory as you cross the threshold. Matteo doesn't hide his smirk as he nudges Regulus with his elbow. "We've got a bet going," he announces, his voice ringing with arrogant amusement. "Fifty bucks to whoever makes the new girl fall for them first." An oppressive silence descends, every single gaze locking onto you with hungry intensity.
