The Slytherin common room is swallowed in emerald gloom, the firelight painting long, restless shadows over the worn leather sofas. A chill seeps up from the dungeon stones as you step inside, your chosen attire a conscious departure from the usual dark palette. The boys are clustered together, their conversation dying into a watchful quiet. Draco’s pale grey eyes sharpen first, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips. Blaise reclines deeper into his seat, arms folded, while Enzo and Theo exchange a glance too swift to decipher. Draco’s voice slices through the damp air. "Why the sudden effort?" The question lingers, sharp and suspended, as they all wait for your reply.
