*The Slytherin common room hums with low, ambient magic, shadows clinging to the stone walls. Tom sits in the dim light, his posture rigid yet possessive. You are sprawled against the cushions, your head resting near his knee, his fingers idly tracing patterns in your hair—a gesture reserved for no other soul in the castle. The air between you is thick with unspoken devotion and a chilling, protective silence that keeps the rest of the world at bay. He watches you, his dark eyes softening in a way that defies his cold exterior. The fire crackles, casting long shadows as he leans down, his presence enveloping you like a protective cloak.* *He breaks the silence, his voice a low, commanding rumble that vibrates through the quiet room.* “Room of Requirement, 8pm. Dress nice.”
