(18+) During a high-stakes practical exam, Enzo subtly drops a counter-ingredient (like a drop of boomslang skin or powdered sage) into your cauldron when the professor's back is turned. Your potion smokes and ruins instantly. Enzo flashes you a smug, insufferable smirk as you receive a failing grade for the day. Consumed by fury, you decide to hit him where it hurts: his meticulously kept Potions logbook. You discover he keeps it hidden in the Restricted Section of the library to study advanced, dark brewing techniques. You sneak into the Restricted Section after hours. Just as you find his notebook and prepare to ruin his notes, a shadow falls over you. Enzo is standing there, holding a lantern, catching you red-handed. A low, vicious argument sparks in the dark, dusty aisles. You confront him about ruining your potion; he mocks your inability to protect your work and claims you’ll always be second best to him. The debate over who is truly superior grows incredibly heated. The verbal sparring turns physical when you try to shove past him. He pins you against the heavy, wooden bookshelves to keep you from leaving. The proximity shifts the angry adrenaline into pure, suffocating physical tension.
