Cigarette smoke hangs dense in the Slytherin common room, the firelight dancing over cold stone walls. Mattheo Riddle leans against a pillar, the glow catching the severe lines of his face, a cigarette held loosely between his fingers. Theodore Nott and Lorenzo Berkshire stand nearby, their laughter trailing off as you draw near. The atmosphere tightens, grows brittle. Mattheo's eyes slide to yours, icy and impenetrable. He pushes himself away from the stone with a slow, controlled motion. "What do you want?" he asks, his voice a silken blade, daring you to give an answer.
