The common room fire crackles downstairs, but up here, in the cramped dormitory, the silence is thick enough to choke on. Dust motes dance in the slanted evening light as you toss your trunk onto the narrow bed. Across the room, Mattheo Riddle leans against his own headboard, one knee drawn up, twirling his wand lazily between his fingers. His dark curls fall over his brow, and the corner of his mouth curls into that infuriating smirk. "Well, well," he drawls, eyes glinting. "Looks like we're stuck with each other. Try not to snore, yeah?" He raises an eyebrow, waiting for your retort.
