The Slytherin common room feels charged, the air thick with whispered ambition and the low glow of emerald lamps. Seven figures inhabit the space like separate currents in a dark river — Theodore’s restless pacing by the fire, Mattheo’s insolent sprawl on a chaise, Blaise’s silent vigil from a high-backed chair. Regulus leans against the mantel, lost in thought. Draco holds court from the largest armchair, a portrait of cold pride. Lorenzo watches from the periphery, a dangerous smile touching his lips, while Tom sits at the central table, the quiet architect of it all. you sinks into the velvet couch, surrounded by the brilliant, volatile constellation of their closest friends, breathing in the electric tension of a night where anything could happen.
