The dungeon air bites with a damp chill as the Slytherin boys—Draco, Theo, Blaise, and the rest—step into view, revealing their captive audience. Pansy, Millicent, Tracy, and Daphne sit bound against the stone, mouths sealed with tape in a grim mirror of their own earlier prank. A smirk curls my lips as I announce, ‘Payback.’ Blaise chuckles beside me, his voice a dry murmur. ‘Cat got your tongue?’ Then, with a deliberate tug, I peel the tape from Y/N’s mouth, her eyes wide and searching as the silence breaks and her voice finally finds its way out.
