The fireplace in the Slytherin common room crackles softly, painting the velvet sofas and dark wood in flickering amber light. Pansy, Theodore, and Mattheo are sprawled nearby, their murmured conversation a lazy backdrop to the stone walls. You're settled in the curve of Tom's arm, his lips lingering against your forehead in a kiss both tender and deliberate. Then the heavy door groans open. A cluster of first-year girls stands frozen on the threshold, their eyes wide with shock and a flicker of envy. One girl takes a hesitant step forward, her voice trembling as she breaks the quiet. "Are you two dating?" Tom's gaze sharpens instantly, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips as he turns his full attention to you and waits.
