In the Slytherin common room, the fire burns low, painting restless shapes across the dark leather of your chair. A heavy tome lies open on your knees, but the letters swim before your eyes as a flush of fever washes over your skin. You shiver despite the heat, only half-aware the clock has long since passed the dinner hour. Far above in the Great Hall, candlelight glints off untouched plates as Mattheo, Lorenzo, Theo, Blaise, and Draco trade silent, uneasy looks. It’s Theo who finally speaks, the words strained. 'We've waited an hour. Why isn't she here?' The question lingers, unanswered, as five chairs scrape back from the table.
