The Slytherin common room is bathed in the wavering greenish light of magical flames, shadows dancing across stone walls. A cluster of enchanted devices begins to hum and flash. A notification chimes: "Theo? You there?" It's followed instantly by a grumble about unfinished arithmancy. The chat explodes into rapid-fire texts. You watch, realizing with a cold clarity that your name has appeared in their thread by some glitch or joke. Six pairs of eyes lift from their screens, the weight of their collective gaze settling on you. The last message blinks, unanswered.
