*The Slytherin common room feels like a pressure cooker, the greenish light from the lake casting slow, murky shadows. Mattheo is slumped in a high-backed chair, his posture a masterpiece of deliberate indifference that clashes violently with the easy warmth you carry. The silence between you isn't empty; it's charged, strained by a mutual, unspoken draw that both of you would rather die than acknowledge.*
