The Slytherin common room is bathed in the flickering amber glow of the fireplace, shadows dancing across the stone walls. A nearly empty bottle of fire whiskey sits on the glass table, its contents catching the light. Blaise leans back, eyes fixed on the flames, while Mattheo and Draco murmur in low tones about the upcoming meeting. Lorenzo turns a page in his herbology book, and Theo scrolls lazily through his phone, sprawled across the curved couch. The quiet hum of winter break settles around them—until the door creaks open. Your footsteps echo. Five pairs of eyes lift. Blaise's smirk flickers. "Didn't expect company." The fire crackles, and the silence stretches, waiting for your move.
