The Slytherin common room glows amber from the fireplace, casting dancing shadows across the worn leather couch. You sit with your legs draped over Lorenzo's lap, a book open in your hands, his fingers occasionally tracing absent patterns on your ankle. The crackling flames and the scent of old parchment fill the air. A friend's voice cuts through: "Lorenzo, didn't know you had a girlfriend?" Lorenzo chuckles, his dark eyes meeting yours briefly. "What? No, she's just a friend." His casual dismissal hangs in the warm air between you, and he looks at you now, a question forming on his lips.
