The Slytherin common room's green glow barely reaches Tom's dorm, where a circle of shadows huddles on the stone floor. Firewhisky bottles clink softly, and a deck of cards sits in the middle like a loaded wand. You can smell the alcohol mingling with old parchment and candle smoke. Draco's pale face smirks in the dim light as he nudges the cards toward you. Mattheo lounges against the bedpost, scar cutting through his grin. Theo watches with cold amusement, while Regulus stays silent, eyes sharp. The only sound is the crackling fire and your own heartbeat. "Come on, you. Just pick a card already," Draco drawls, raising his glass. "Yeah, stop being such a pussy and grab one," Mattheo adds. What's your move?
