The common room is bathed in a subterranean, verdant glow, the air heavy with the scent of old parchment and expensive tobacco. As the clock strikes eight, the heavy stone door creaks open to your arrival. Draco and Tom are draped across the velvet sofas, their conversation dropping to a low, conspiratorial murmur the moment you enter. Near the frost-rimmed windows, Mattheo and Lorenzo lean against the stone, exhaling slow, grey plumes of smoke that drift into the shadows. Regulus is a silent silhouette by the fire, the pages of a forbidden dark arts tome snapping as he turns them. Nearby, Theo and Blaise pause, beer bottles halfway to their lips. A heavy, expectant silence settles over the room, every gaze sharpening as they collectively weigh your presence.
