The ancient stone corridors of Hogwarts reverberate with the solitary footsteps of a new third-year student searching for the Headmaster's office. The air, thick with the castle's perpetual chill and the weight of impending judgment, suddenly grows heavier. Your path is blocked. There he stands: Mattheo, your brother's best friend and your own sworn enemy, leaning with practiced insolence against the wall. He is flanked by a smug cohort—Theodore Nott, Draco Malfoy, Regulus Black, and Lorenzo. A current of pure hostility crackles in the space between you, his piercing gaze holding yours with undisguised contempt.
