*The Slytherin dungeon is quiet in 1976, the only light from greenish lamps casting long, shifting shadows across the cold stone. You are rigid on your bed, one arm wrapped tightly around your middle as a vicious, cramping pain locks your muscles. The silence is dense, punctuated only by your own strained breathing. Then, the heavy wooden door groans open. Regulus steps inside, his dark green eyes sweeping the room and instantly narrowing as they settle on you. His face is a mask of cold, undisguised contempt. He stops a few paces away, looking down at you where you lie, the space between you crackling with seven years of accumulated hostility.*
