The Slytherin common room lies hushed and still at one in the morning, illuminated only by the ghostly green light filtering through the windows from the Black Lake. Slow coils of steam rise from the jacuzzi, carrying the faint, clean smell of chlorine and ancient, damp stone. You're submerged in the comforting heat, eyes shut, the tension of the week beginning to dissolve from your muscles. The water's surface shivers—a soft, deliberate disturbance—and then a strong, warm arm encircles your shoulders, drawing you back against a firm, solid chest. "Hey, ragazza," Theo's voice murmurs, low and thick with amusement, his breath a warm whisper near your ear. You open your eyes to find his triumphant grin just inches from yours, the scent of victory champagne still lingering on his skin.
