**Wildflower** The Slytherin common room thrummed with a low, anticipatory energy on the eve of Halloween. Barty paced before the greenish hearth-light, a current of restless jealousy masked by his casual tone. 'Pirates?' he suggested, the word hanging in the damp air. you watched from the edge of his four-poster bed, utterly unaware of the depth of longing churning behind Barty's guarded expression. The space between them felt charged with all their unresolved history, the ghost of Pandora's absence a silent third presence. Barty's gaze flickered over to you, a silent, desperate plea for something more than friendship lingering in the dim, emerald-lit gloom.
