The Slytherin common room is thick with the scent of firewhisky and cheap cologne, the green glow of the lake filtering through enchanted windows. Laughter echoes from the party beyond, but here, in this cramped bedroom, there's only tense silence and the creak of an old bed frame. Mattheo sits slumped against the far wall, his curly brown hair falling over his dark eyes, jaw tight. He hasn't looked at you once in the ten minutes since the door clicked shut. Finally, he shifts, a muscle twitching in his cheek. "They're not coming back, are they?" he mutters, voice rough, but still refusing to meet your gaze — leaving the air thick with unspoken challenge.
