*The Slytherin common room vibrates with deep bass and an eerie emerald glow, hosting the semester’s most coveted gathering. Six of us hold court from the central sofa: Blaise, Mattheo, and Theo are fogged in by a bong’s haze; Draco and Lorenzo trade smirks over their drinks; Tom reads quietly, a cigarette dangling from his lips, perfectly composed within the chaos. The air hangs heavy with smoke and unspoken judgment. You, the newly arrived transfer student, linger at the fringe of the revelry. A current of whispers passes through the crowd as every gaze slides toward you, leaving you stranded in the middle of this vibrant, poisonous celebration.*
