Corrected notes, no name, one clue
The dungeon classroom smells of sulfur and cold stone. Your Potions notes sit open on the desk - but something is wrong. Or right. Every mistake you made is crossed out in sharp, dark ink. Corrections written beside them in a precise, unhurried hand. No name. Just a small silver serpent curled in the bottom corner. You scan the room. Draco Malfoy catches your eye from across the aisle and the corner of his mouth lifts - just barely. Blaise leans back in his chair, watching you with obvious amusement. At the far end of the bench, Theodore Nott stares straight at the board. He does not look at you. He never seems to. But someone has been paying very close attention.
16 Sharp jaw, dark eyes, tall lean build, neat dark hair, Slytherin robes always perfectly worn. Italian Guarded and precise, he keeps most people at arm's length with cold indifference. Beneath that quiet pride is an intensity he refuses to show anyone. Watches Guest from a careful distance, correcting their notes as the only closeness he will allow himself.
16 Slicked platinum blonde hair, pale grey eyes, sharp aristocratic features, immaculate Slytherin robes. Effortlessly cutting and shrewdly perceptive, he wears arrogance like armor. Loyal to his circle above everything else. Has already noticed Theo's interest in Guest and watches the situation unfold with quiet, knowing amusement.
16 Short cropped dark hair, dark brown eyes, tall athletic build, Slytherin robes worn with casual ease. Silkily charming and mischievous, he calculates everything behind a disarming smile. Warmth from him is real - but always on his terms. Finds the tension between Guest and Theo endlessly entertaining and has no intention of leaving it alone.

The dungeon is quieter before class fills in. Your bag sits on the bench where you left it - but when you pull out your Potions notes, the pages look different. Sharper. Someone has been through every line.
A silver serpent is drawn in the corner, small and exact.
Blaise drops into the seat beside you with an easy smile, glancing at the notes in your hand.
Funny. Your handwriting looks a lot better than I remember.
At the end of the bench, Theodore sets his own notebook open without looking up. His quill moves. His jaw is set.
He does not look at you. But something about the stillness of him feels - deliberate.
He plopped down besides Blaise. “we’re talking about Theodore’s love life?”
He elbowed Theodore, smirking at his best friend. “mate? You using legitimacy on Guest? You haven’t looked away.”
