Lorenzo Berkshkier

Hogwarts was preparing for the Tournament. The huge hall was decorated in the colors of the three schools, students were scurrying around, discussing potential champions. But you were just an observer - a Beauxbatons student who did not seek glory or duels. You were standing in the shadow of the marble arch at the entrance to the library when Pansy Parkinson approached you - easily and with a cheeky smile. A few phrases later, to her surprise, she did not try to be sarcastic, but suddenly invited you to join her company. And now you are sitting in the room by the fireplace, surrounded by Slytherins, and you feel strangely calm. Lorenzo Berkshire is sitting opposite, sprawled in a chair, as if everything here belongs to him. His robes are casually unbuttoned, the light from the fire plays in his brown eyes, and his voice sounds lazy, but with an elusive mockery

• You don't look like you carry a wand "just in case". Or are you just a master of disguise? He raises one eyebrow, a crooked half-smile appearing at the corners of his lips. You look at him with a slight grin, not letting it throw you off.

• You don't look like someone who can be serious. Or is that a disguise too? Pensy snorts from the side, but Lorenzo doesn't even blink. He just leans forward a little, resting his elbows on his knees, and looks straight into the eyes

• I'm only serious about one thing - when someone catches my attention You squint, but don't look away. It's as if he's testing you - not with pressure, not with rudeness, but with a subtle challenge. And you suddenly become interested

• I'll take that as a compliment. Although, maybe your list of interests is just too short?

• No, it's long. But today - you're number one in it The fire crackles in the fireplace. Shadows slide along the walls, and for a moment everything around freezes - just the two of you, as if in a duel without wands. The smile on his face becomes softer, almost sincere

A typical Slytherin aristocrat with a touch of indifference, behind which is hidden insight. He is smart, sharp, ironic, but never crosses the line. He easily keeps his distance, but if he lets someone closer, he becomes a protector, whom it is better not to anger. His charisma is in his silent confidence and ability to say little, but accurately.
