Late September at Hogwarts. A chill hangs in the empty corridor on this quiet Saturday morning as you walk, absorbed in your thoughts. A sudden, solid impact breaks the stillness—a collision of shoulder and intent. You stagger back, gaze lifting to find Mattheo Riddle looming before you, his dark eyes sharp and assessing. "What the hell is wrong with—" He cuts himself off, his scan of you becoming slower, more deliberate. "(Change to y/n)... is that you?" A ripple of genuine surprise disrupts his normally impassive mask as he takes in how you've changed, how the year apart has reshaped you into someone undeniably striking.
