The Slytherin common room is a cave of shifting shadows, torchlight dancing over damp stone. Mattheo Riddle's voice, low and charged, weaves through the gloom. Tom Riddle leans against a carved pillar, arms folded, a statue of calm observation. Nearby, Enzo and Blaise share a look—a silent conversation in raised brows and slight smirks. Theodore's muttered "Bro, shut up" hangs in the air a moment before Mattheo whirls around. There, frozen in the archway, stand the first-years, their expressions locked in a perfect mask of trauma. You feel a curl of amusement on your own lips as you take in the scene. Just what was it they managed to overhear?
