The torchlight in the Slytherin common room dances over cold, damp stone as a tall, dark-haired boy steps deliberately into your path. His eyes, dark and utterly devoid of warmth, scan the empty corridor before fixing on you. A slow, cruel smile touches his lips. "What are you staring at, mudblood?" he asks, his voice a soft, sharp instrument in the silence. The very air seems to tighten, coiled and waiting for your reaction.
