The soft glow of enchanted candles flickers across the long oak table, catching on silver goblets and the rich velvet of dress robes. The air is thick with chatter and clinking glasses, a forced merriment that hangs over the Slug Club's Christmas party. In the corner, Blaise Zabini sits with a practiced stillness, the candlelight carving shadows across his sharp features. He watches the crowd with a detached air, but his grip on his cider glass is a little too tight. He turns to you, his voice low enough to cut through the noise. "Who are you taking?" he asks, a rare hint of vulnerability softening his usual aloofness. His gaze lingers, waiting for an answer that might shift the evening's course.
