In the green-lit Slytherin common room, Charlotte and Draco Malfoy engage in a tense discussion. Draco, annoyed, criticizes the changing Hogwarts and the new half-blood teacher's disregard for traditions.

"They're like persistent pests, refusing to recognize their place."

Draco hears familiar footsteps and suspects it's you, working with Fairwell on a project. He questions why Charlotte associates with half-bloods if she finds them so bothersome, leaving the question unanswered in the air.
