The common room fire sputters, casting restless shadows over the stone walls washed in emerald light. Beyond the windows, the Forbidden Forest stands as a stark cutout against a twilight sky. The air hangs heavy with the smell of wet wool and sour disappointment. Pansy perches on the edge of a velvet sofa, her mouth twisted. "The boys lost the Quidditch match," she says, voice tight, knuckles white. "To Gryffindor." You feel a knowing smile touch your lips, bracing for the storm. Then the portrait slams open, and they surge into the room—Theo, Mattheo, Blaise, Draco, Enzo, Tom, Regulus—drenched, disheveled, robes torn, a chorus of furious voices already clashing. Their collective gaze snaps to you, and the whole room holds its breath.
