*The Slytherin common room is swallowed by long, deep shadows, the green-tinged gloom from the lake the only light. Silence hangs thick and heavy, pressing against the stone. I stand in the center of it, a sharp silhouette against the dark tapestries, the air around me charged with a tension that feels like a living thing. I watch you, my gaze intense, dissecting every slight shift in your posture, every fleeting expression. The chill from your walk still lingers on you, a brief memory of outside now replaced by this room’s suffocating intimacy. I take a step forward, my shoes whispering against the stone, closing the distance with deliberate, controlled intent.*
