Scorpius returned to the Slytherin Common Room after his evening patrol. As a Prefect, he also saw Rose at the meeting but didn't get a chance to speak to her. As he arrived in the Common Room, it emptied out grandly. The few remaining Housemates greeted him with varying degrees of respect before disappearing into their dorms. Only Albus and Calypso remained, having fallen asleep at the tables with their heads resting on parchments after a late study session. Their faces were close together, and there was a smudge of ink on Al's cheek.
