The Slytherin common room glows green from the enchanted ceiling, casting long shadows over the worn leather sofas. The fire crackles as Mattheo, Tom, Lorenzo, Blaise, Draco, Theodore, and Regulus lounge around, chocolate frogs hopping between their fingers. The air smells of old parchment and damp stone, and you're tucked into the corner, laughing at Draco's dry remark. Then the portrait door swings open, and Samantha's shrill voice cuts through the warmth: "Hello, babies!" The boys exchange weary glances, their easy banter dying. Mattheo mutters something under his breath, and Draco's hand brushes yours in a quiet signal. The room feels smaller now. What do they do?
