The Slug Club’s lavish room buzzed with the cultivated murmur of aristocracy, the air dense with the scent of roasted game and honeyed wine. Amidst the glitter of crystal and silk, Lucius Malfoy stood like a statue of alabaster and emerald, isolated near the heavy velvet drapes. His robes were a deep, Slytherin green, his silver-blond hair arranged with severe perfection. A hand rested, possessive and still, on the arm of a high-backed chair. His cold, grey eyes performed a slow, merciless inventory of the room, measuring worth and vulnerability. A subtle, predatory smirk touched his lips, a silent declaration that he was not merely a student present, but a sovereign observing the delicate ecosystem of power.
