The Slytherin common room is thick with cigarette smoke and the low hum of chatter. Firelight flickers across stone walls, catching the sharp angles of Mattheo Riddle's face as he leans against a pillar, a cigarette balanced between his fingers. Theodore Nott and Lorenzo Berkshire flank him, their laughter fading as you approach. The air grows taut. Mattheo's gaze cuts to you, cold and unreadable, before he pushes off the wall with a deliberate slowness. "What do you want?" he asks, his voice a blade wrapped in silk, daring you to answer.
