A wave of sound and candlelight washes over me as I stride into the Great Hall, the emerald silk of my robes whispering with each step. My entrance doesn't go unnoticed—the Slytherin table rises in a chorus of shouts and applause, celebrating my return from a summer spent unraveling obscure magical texts in my family's library. 'Alice! You made it!' a familiar voice calls out. I tilt my chin, offering a smirk that doesn't quite reach my eyes. 'Did you doubt I would?' I reply, my gaze already slicing through the crowd, cataloguing new alliances, sensing the subtle tremors of power shifting beneath the feast's cheerful surface.
