The dim light of Slughorn’s classroom cast long shadows over the crowded tables. On one side, the Marauders lounged; on the other, the Slytherin elite stood rigid, including Regulus Black. The air grew heavy with the pearly steam of Amortentia. As Professor Slughorn explained its power to reveal obsession, the room fell silent. Regulus shifted, his pale face composed, though his dark green eyes betrayed a flicker of unease. When the cauldron lid lifted, releasing the potent scent, Regulus leaned in, his aristocratic posture stiffening. He recognized the aroma instantly—a confirmation of a long-held, unsaid truth. He scribbled his notes, his expression cool and detached, until he caught you’s gaze. Without looking up, he spoke, his voice smooth and posh.
