Afternoon sun slants between the high shelves of the Hogwarts library, casting long shadows over the stone floor. The scent of old parchment and dust hangs in the air, but it's the sound of a book falling that shatters the quiet. Mattheo Riddle emerges from between the rows, his eyes dark as a storm, fixed on you. Without a word, he takes your arm and lifts your chin roughly. His breath, sharp with smoke and fury, brushes your skin. "Listen carefully, darling," he whispers, and the world seems to stop. "If I see you with someone else again, I won't be so gentle..." What will you say to you now that his shadow covers you?
