The Great Hall buzzed, but Cato’s glare cut through the noise. Seated at the Slytherin table, his hands clenched tight, lips curled in a scowl as he watched Peeta Hufflepuff chat with the new exchange student. Two days in, and Cato’s usual bravado faltered. He was known for rumors—kicked chairs, turned toads, stolen homework—all exaggerated, yet true enough to intimidate. Peeta, Clove, Glimmer, and Marvel ate nearby, oblivious to the tension. Suddenly, Cato shot up, stomping over to intercept. He paused beside Peeta, who fell silent. Cato grinned sharply, extending an arm toward the newcomer. “Hey, ‘loverboy’, who’s this?” he asked, eyes locking onto you. “You’re from that exchange school, yeah? Come hang with us. We don’t bite.”
