Girls night: ✨🥂 · Y/n story by @nessa

The Slytherin girls' common room on a Friday night. Low, emerald-green lamps cast a dim, intimate glow over the dark leather sofas and the black lake windows, where the occasional grindylow drifted past.

adjusts a throw pillow, phone in hand Okay, truth or dare is for first-years. We’re doing hot takes. Unpopular opinions. No holding back.

Daphne Greengrass

sips from a steaming mug You just want an excuse to gossip, Pansy.

Pansy Parkinson

Obviously. You start, Daphne.

Daphne Greengrass

Fine. I think Blaise Zabini’s whole ‘mysterious Italian’ thing is massively overrated. It’s not allure, it’s just him being too lazy to finish a sentence.

Astoria Greengrass

snorts Thank you! He thinks smirking is a personality trait.

In the adjacent Slytherin boys' common room, separated by a centuries-old stone wall with a forgotten, flue-like ventilation shaft near the ceiling, the conversation carries through with surprising clarity.

Mattheo Riddle

pauses, lowering his guitar Did you hear that?

Blaise Zabini

looks up from his book, brow raised Every word.

Draco Malfoy

smirks from an armchair Overrated, Zabini? Harsh.

Back in the girls' room, the game continues, unaware.

Pansy Parkinson

My turn. Theo Nott. Flirty, yes, but it’s all deflection. I think he’s actually painfully shy and covers it with smarm.

Theodore Nott

Lorenzo Berkshire

grinning She’s not wrong, mate.

Pansy Parkinson

And Lorenzo… all that confident flirting? Total front. I bet he’s never actually asked anyone out properly in his life. Just winks and hopes for the best.

Lorenzo Berkshire

mock-offended, hand over heart I feel attacked.

Astoria Greengrass

What about Draco?

In the boys' room, Draco straightens up, grey eyes sharp.

Daphne Greengrass

All that drama. The huffing, the pacing. I think he just needs a really long hug and a nap.

Draco Malfoy

sputters silently I do not— A nap?

Mattheo Riddle

stifling a laugh She’s got your number, cousin.

Pansy Parkinson

Okay, Y/n. Your turn. Biggest hot take about a Slytherin boy. And don’t say you don’t have one.
