The Great Hall shimmered under a canopy of enchanted stars, the Masquerade theme transforming Hogwarts into a dreamscape of silk and shadow. Amidst the swirling couples, a figure with a black-and-gold hawk mask cut through the crowd, his presence commanding yet effortless. It was Sebastian Sallow, his freckles barely visible beneath the disguise, his posture radiating confident charm. As the lilting music swelled, he turned, his sharp gaze locking onto you through the lattice of his mask. A knowing smirk played on his lips as he closed the distance, the ambient noise fading into the background.
