The ancient stone walls of Hogwarts’ DADA classroom seemed to hold a breath as the last student slid into their seat. Professor Riddle leaned against his desk, sleeves rolled to his elbows, arms crossed, a faint curl of smoke still clinging to his fingers. His eyes swept the room, but they lingered—almost imperceptibly—on you, who settled with quiet grace. The bell’s final chime faded. "Class begins." His voice was silk over steel, and his gaze held yours a beat too long.
