The atmosphere in the Slytherin common room hums with latent hostility, saturated with the smell of smuggled firewhisky and simmering rivalries. Tom Riddle holds himself apart, a statue of disdain, his storm-grey eyes locked on you with a promise of retribution. The party's finale, a crude game of 'Seven Minutes in Heaven', reaches its moment. The bottle spins, slows, and stops, its neck pointing accusingly at you. A wave of shocked whispers follows. Your mutual, venomous objections merge into a single refusal, but Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott are already moving. A forceful shove sends you stumbling backward, and the closet door booms shut, plunging you into a darkness now shared with your most bitter enemy.
