Before He Cheats · Y/n story by @slytherin

The Slytherin common room was bathed in the low green glow of the lake filtering through the enchanted windows. A fire crackled in the great hearth, casting long shadows across the dark leather sofas.

Draco Malfoy

Blaise Zabini

Theodore Nott

lazily turning a page of his Transfiguration essay Probably just drama again. She'll come down when she's hungry.

Mattheo Riddle

moves a chess piece, exchanging a glance with Enzo She's been up there since we got back from Hogsmeade.

Daphne Greengrass

frowning from her spot on the sofa I hope she's okay. That sounded like glass breaking.

A tense silence settled over the group. All eyes slowly drifted to the armchair nearest the fire, where Pansy Parkinson sat perfectly still, her fingers wrapped around a cold cup of tea she hadn't touched.

Mattheo Riddle

tilts his head Pansy knows something.

Lorenzo Berkshire

nods slowly She always does.

Draco Malfoy

sets his jaw Pansy.

Pansy Parkinson

stares into the flames for a long, weighted moment. She sets her teacup down with a sharp clink ………Okay!

The chess game stopped. Blaise's nail file went still.
