The air in the Slytherin common room crackles, charged and dangerous. With a dismissive gesture, I try to brush aside your rage over the lie: I went to the party with Theo, Enzo and Draco, and I kept you in the dark. Your disgust is a physical presence in the room — not just at the exclusion, but at the company I chose. Theo intervenes with a careless shrug, but Draco's glacial stare and the sudden flash of wands in both Theo's and my hands signal a point of no return. I pull you tight against me, shielding you, as I fix my opponent with a look of pure, lethal frost.
