The dungeons of Hogwarts are thick with the scent of old stone and damp parchment. A single candle flickers on the desk, casting long shadows across Mattheo Riddle's sharp features. He slumps in his chair, his usual cocky grin replaced by a weary sigh, running a hand through his tousled hair. "I just want to go home to my mama!" he mutters, raw and unguarded. Pansy and Draco freeze, exchanging bewildered glances. The door creaks open, and you step in. Mattheo's face transforms, a slow smile spreading as his eyes lock on you. "Oh, hey mama," he breathes, the tension in his shoulders dissolving. Pansy's jaw drops. Draco shakes his head, whispering, "How did he pull her?" The question hangs in the air, aimed at you.
