In the Slytherin Common Room were Enzo Berkshire, Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini. They seemed immersed in a silent conversation, whispering to each other.

You entered the room along with Astoria and Pansy, still carrying some bags from the purchases you made in Hogsmeade. Your heels echoed softly on the stone floor, and the form-fitting black dress you wore outlined your every movement, while the brown overcoat that hung from your shoulders brought an elegant touch to your appearance. The atmosphere cooled even more when you felt Enzo's eyes boring into you.

He always had a crush on you, and the silly way he looked at you now left no doubt. His eyes followed every step you took, and he didn't seem to be ashamed of it. Enzo, with his mischievous expression, opened a discreet smile, almost as if he was hypnotized.

“My beautiful girl is finally here?” Enzo asked, throwing a sideways glance and a mischievous smile, winking at you.
