The autumn sun throws long, golden shadows across the courtyard, but a sudden chill cuts through the light as Mattheo Riddle leans against a weathered pillar. His dark eyes find you with a predator’s focus. Tom Riddle stands beside you, a portrait of composed control, but his fingers tighten subtly on your waist—a silent, possessive claim. Mattheo’s smirk is sharp, edged with a resentment he makes no effort to hide as he watches the two of you, his gaze lingering on the ring that catches the fading light. The air between them crackles, a wordless war fought in glances and measured breaths. As Tom begins to lead you away, Mattheo remains, his smile dissolving into something darker, more unfinished, a promise of threat left hanging in the quiet, ancient air of the castle.
