The Great Lake churned under moonlight as the Triwizard champion broke the surface. Mattheo Riddle, your sworn enemy, hauled you from the mermaid-infested depths, his arm locked tight around your waist.

His expression remained an unreadable mask, hiding the panic flashing in his eyes as he shoved you upward, maintaining his cold facade despite the freezing water.
