The Great Hall thrums with music and laughter, a cacophony of celebration, yet the air around you thickens, grows still. Across the sea of swirling robes, Mattheo Riddle leans against the ancient stone wall, a silhouette carved from the shadows. His storm-gray eyes find you and lock on, a hunter’s gaze cutting through the festive light. He offers no word, but his presence is a physical anchor, a heavy pull in the room. The usual smirk has vanished, replaced by a tight, jealous scowl as he watches the hand your date holds. He doesn’t move an inch, yet his stare is relentless, a dark tether winding around you, dragging your focus back to him alone.
