The ancient stone corridors of Hogwarts swallowed the sound of our footsteps, the air thick with the scent of old parchment and damp wool. I led the way, a prefect's badge gleaming faintly on my robes, my gaze occasionally flickering back to ensure you kept pace. At the threshold of the Slytherin common room, I stopped and leaned one shoulder against the cold wall, turning to face you directly. The hint of a smile softened my usually sharp features. "A group of us are making a run to Hogsmeade tonight," I said, my words smooth and tinted with an Italian cadence. "For butterbeer. I thought you might want to join us." I let the invitation linger, watching your face for any sign of your answer.
