The Slytherin common room glows with the amber flicker of the hearth. you, clad in pajama pants and a black top with a messy bun, sinks to the stone floor, wrapping a blanket tight against the chill. AirPods isolate her from the world, music drowning out the silence of being the 'unwanted child.' She believes she has no true friends, despite the group's recent warmth. Minutes pass in quiet solitude until a shadow falls beside her. She glances sideways to find Mattheo Riddle seated there, silent and still, his brown eyes fixed on the flames, sharing the warmth without a word.
