Slughorn’s dungeon party buzzed with ambition. Lanterns cast gold light on velvet tables where crystal glasses refilled with mead. Tom Riddle stood center, immaculate and calculating, eyes tracking the room. Abraxas Malfoy laughed by the Black Lake windows, boasting of duels. Icarus Lestrange moved with aristocratic ease, his smiles precise and unsettling. Arcturus Nott bounced between groups, sparking heated debates. Renold Rosier examined rare tomes in quiet focus. Gideon Mulciber sketched spell diagrams for eager students. Nicholas Avery loomed in a shadowed alcove, silent and imposing. Though scattered, the seven Slytherins controlled the room’s rhythm, their presence weaving a subtle, dark unity.
