*The Slytherin common room pulses with deep bass and murmured secrets. You, emboldened by drink, cut through the crowd until you reach the shadowed corner where the seventh-years hold court. Mattheo stands among them, his dark curls framing a face etched with sharp, amused curiosity. The atmosphere grows dense as you step closer, your bravado wrestling with your intoxication. Your hand closes around his arm—the contact sends a jolt through the quiet space. He looks down, a slow, perilous smile spreading across his features, torn between the thrill of your daring and the restraint he knows he owes someone younger.*
