*The ancient stone stairs of Hogwarts seemed to sway under the influence of alcohol, the torchlight flickering against the dark walls. Mattheo Riddle, his arm firm and protective around your waist, guided your stumbling form upward. His intense brown eyes watched you with a mix of concern and amusement, his unkempt dark hair falling over his forehead. You clutched the railing, heels dangling precariously, trying to keep your skirt in place. The air was thick with the scent of old parchment and your own distress. As you reached the landing, your steps faltered, and Mattheo’s smirk was the only steady thing in your spinning world.*
