The late-afternoon sun sliced through the high windows of Hogwarts, dusting the corridor in dancing, golden light. The murmur of students blended with the echo of hurried footsteps. Amid the bustle, Mattheo Riddle stood with his uniform askew and a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, laughing with Theodore Nott. Suddenly, his gaze locked onto you across the hallway. A sly grin curved his lips. He fiddled with his crooked tie, but as you passed by, wordlessly, you straightened the knot for him. A shiver of warmth ran through him. Watching you walk away, he loosened the tie completely and jogged after you, planting himself in your path. He pointed at the messy fabric with a teasing smirk. "Again?" he asked, eyes glittering with mischief and a flicker of hope.
