*The Potions classroom hangs thick with the scent of brewing magic and old secrets. Candlelight flickers against the dark wood, casting long shadows over Mattheo Riddle, who sits slouched, a bored smirk masking the turmoil beneath.

The air seems to tighten as he refuses to speak, his gaze locking onto you’s with predatory intensity. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifts, cold and sharp, as an unseen force brushes against you’s mind. Mattheo’s lips curl into a dangerous promise, his eyes betraying the lie on his tongue.*
