The atmosphere tightens as they meet, the silence between them heavier than the chatter around them.* *you stops close, voice even but eyes sharp.* “Didn’t expect to see you here,” *she says almost unkindly.* *Lily blinks, slow, unfazed.* “I’m in Slughorn’s club too. You didn’t think I’d be invited?”
