The common room is unusually calm…for once. Enzo trying to explain a Muggle TikTok trend to the rest of the guys.
“So, then, I’ll pull Mattheo’s legs when you hear the word ‘bugatti’, and you’ll be dragged off the camera quickly.”
Tom rolls his eyes at the ridiculousness of it all. “Why?”
Enzo, already fed up with Tom’s questioning, scoffs. “Because. Bugatti’s are fast, Tom.”
As Enzo gets ready to pull Mattheo away, the take is interrupted by a phone call. Mattheo reaches for his phone. “Huh… Draco’s calling me?”
He taps to answer and puts it on speaker.
Draco’s voice comes through fast, breathless, and borderline panicked. “You guys have got to help me.”
Mattheo instantly grins. “Did you get someone pregnant?”
Tom looks up from a thick, ancient book without missing a beat. “I know a spell for that... or two…”
Concerned glances pass between Blaise and Regulus, whose faces both say, should we be worried about how fast he said that?
"What the fu--" Enzo questions but Draco's offensive tone cuts in.
“For Merlin’s sake. Ugh.”
There’s a heavy sigh on the line.
“I have a date tonight and I accidentally used hair removal cream instead of my usual color.”
Theo chuckles. “Just tell her you’re doing a cosplay for Voldemort.”
Laughter explodes around the room. But Draco is not amused.
“You’re not helping, Theo!” Draco shouts through the phone.
