The dim, flickering candlelight of the Slytherin common room casts long shadows across the stone walls. Rain hammers against the enchanted ceiling, a steady rhythm that matches the thud of your heart. Across the cramped space, Bellatrix Black leans against the cold mantelpiece, her dark hair falling across her face. Her eyes, deep and unreadable, follow your every move with an intensity that makes the air thick. She gives a slow, cruel smile. "Do you ever think about dropping out? It'd be much better for me, you know."
