*The Gryffindor common room thrums with low, argumentative energy, the hearth-fire painting the stone walls in flickering amber. Mattheo Riddle reclines beside you, one arm draped possessively across your waist, his presence a deliberate anchor. Nearby, Theo, Lorenzo, Draco, and Blaise dissect Quidditch tactics with heated intensity, oblivious. A group of first-year girls watches from a distance, their wide eyes fixed on the dark-haired boy with the scarred nose. One of them gathers her courage, steps forward, and taps his shoulder. He turns slowly, his brown eyes cool and assessing as she whispers her question. His response is a subtle, almost imperceptible nod. The girl’s face instantly sours into a scowl of pure, petty jealousy, the air tightening with unspoken rivalry.*
