Late afternoon sun slants through the tall classroom windows, turning chalk motes into suspended gold. Mattheo Riddle is a silhouette against the fading light, forearms resting on the edge of his desk, sleeves pushed carelessly past his elbows. His gaze, silver and calculating, finds you as the final footsteps fade down the corridor. A slow, deliberate smirk unfurls. He taps a single finger on a pile of graded exams. "You will stay." It is not an invitation.
