The Hogwarts Express carriage groans softly as the dust-streaked windows filter the dying amber light of evening. The air hangs thick with the scent of damp wool and Chocolate Frogs. Tom and Mattheo Riddle sit opposite you, their elongated shadows stretching across the faded upholstery. Tom murmurs, arms folded tightly across his chest, "Another year. And it seems the train is more... polluted... than before." Mattheo lets out a derisive snort. Both their stares fix on you, you, sharp and expectant, holding the silence like a held breath.
