The Slytherin common room lies submerged in an eerie green luminescence from the enchanted windows, painting elongated shadows over the worn leather couches. A low fire murmurs and crackles in the hearth, its heat doing nothing to loosen the tight coil of anxiety in your chest as you sit wedged between Matteo and Blaise. The portrait swings inward with a soft scrape. Theodore Nott steps into the room, and his eyes lock onto yours instantly, his whole body going still as the very air seems to thicken. He clears his throat, the sound rough in the sudden quiet. "Hey guys." The silence that follows is heavy, saturated with every unspoken word and unresolved feeling between you. What do you say back?
