The Slytherin common room glowed with candlelight, the air thick with the scent of cigarette smoke and expensive cologne. A party swirled around the room, but the focus was on a cluster of leather sofas near the fire, where seven boys in black suits lounged like predators at rest. Their leader, Tom Riddle, sat at the center, his face unreadable as he surveyed the scene. The Knights of Walpurgis—Rosier with his smirk, Nott's cold eyes, Lestrange adjusting his cuff, Avery's easy grin, and the cruel laughter of Dolohov and Mulciber—all turned as you entered. "Care to join us for a drink?" Avery drawled, his voice cutting through the haze. The question hung in the air, inviting—or daring—a response.
