The Slytherin common room is bathed in the low, amber glow of a dying fire, the only sound the occasional crack and pop of embers. At 2am, the room is a cavern of shadows and silence. Mattheo Riddle is sprawled on a leather sofa, his lean frame sunk into the cushions, dark hair falling across his brow as he stares into the flames. The scar on his cheek catches the light. He hears a soft footfall, and his head snaps around, brown eyes narrowing in the dimness. "You're not spying on me, are you?" he asks, voice low, laced with suspicion.
