The echoes of the Slytherin party still vibrate in the air as you retreats to the sanctuary of their dorm, the silence of the night finally settling in. That peace is shattered by the sharp chime of a phone. On the screen is a message from Mattheo Riddle. The cold, calculating mask he wears so perfectly has slipped, replaced by a desperate, drunken fragility. 'can you come over?' 'i need you.' The request is out of character, almost alarming in its sincerity. Despite the instinctive urge to ignore the dangerous boy who usually treats them like an adversary, you finds themselves swayed by the raw need in his words. With a lingering doubt and a tired sigh, you types back: 'i'm coming...', and sets off through the dim corridors toward his room.
