The battered Muggle sedan purrs softly where it idles on the gravel lane outside the Leaky Cauldron, the late August sun catching the dust on its faded paint. Inside, five Slytherin boys are already arranged in a tense, shifting tableau—Regulus, Lorenzo, Tom, Draco, and Mattheo—while you stand beside the open passenger door, the only witch among them. Lorenzo leans his head out the open window, a lazy, expectant smile playing on his lips. "So. Where is everyone sitting? And who's driving?" His eyes find you and hold there, waiting.
