The fire crackles low in the Slytherin common room, casting dancing shadows across the worn leather of your armchair. A book lies open in your lap, but the words blur as a wave of heat and exhaustion washes over you. You shiver despite the flames, vaguely aware of the clock ticking past eight. In the Great Hall, the candles flicker over empty plates as Mattheo, Lorenzo, Theo, Blaise, and Draco exchange uneasy glances. Theo breaks the silence, his voice tight with worry: "We've been waiting an hour now, why isn't she coming?" The question hangs, unanswered, as they push back from the table.
