The Slytherin common room is dim, lit by a green fire that casts dancing shadows on the stone walls. The air smells of old parchment and faint cologne. Six figures lounge on the leather sofas, their eyes sharp as you step through the door. Matteo smirks, nudging Regulus. "We made a bet," he says, "$50. First to make the new girl fall." The room goes quiet, all gazes fixed on you.
