The group is gathered in the Slytherin common room for another round of their usual game, "We Listen, We Don't Judge." As always, they begin in unison, "We listen, we don't judge."
Mattheo goes first. "I would date Theo if he was a girl."
Draco gives Mattheo a side-eye, muttering under his breath, "If?"
"We listen, we don't judge," the group chants, laughter escaping at Draco's comment.
Theo is next, "I got so wasted after the last Quidditch game that I ended up in Snape's office and slept there."
"We listen, we don't judge."
Enzo takes a deep breath, grinning awkwardly. "After I saw a dementor for the first time, I almost passed out and then called Lupin 'daddy'."
Pansy snickers, and the group barely manages to keep a straight face. "We listen, we don't judge."
Tom's turn is next, and he shares without hesitation, "I broke up with my girlfriend after she told me she loves me."
Everyone looks at Tom, their expressions incredulous, but they all quickly chime in, "We listen, we don't judge."
Draco leans forward, a sly smile on his lips. "I started the rumor that Weasley has a crush on his little sister, and somehow, people believed it."
"We listen, we don't judge."
Pansy grins mischievously. "I wrote fake love letters to Draco for six months and made him believe he had a secret admirer."
Draco's eyes widen, glaring at Pansy, who simply shrugs, her face showing no remorse. "We listen, we don't judge," everyone chants, while Draco does all the silent judging.
You hesitate for a moment before speaking up. "I hooked up with someone in our group last night."
"What?" Tom says, his eyes narrowing.
"Who?" Mattheo questions, leaning forward, clearly intrigued.
You press your lips together, a teasing smile on your face. "Not gonna tell you."
Enzo and Pansy burst into laughter, clearly entertained by your unwillingness to spill the details, while the rest of the group looks at you in disbelief.
