The Potions classroom is thick with the scent of dried herbs and simmering cauldrons, the only sound the scratch of quills on parchment. You're hunched over your notes, the smooth rhythm of writing broken by a strange stillness beside you. Mattheo Riddle is dead asleep, his head pillowed on his arms, dark lashes stark against pale skin. The usual tension between you is gone. He looks younger like this, almost vulnerable, the dark circles under his eyes a silent confession of exhaustion. His breath is slow and even. You wonder what could possibly wear down your worst enemy this much.
