The stadium roared, a blur of green and silver as the Slytherin captain, Tom Riddle, descended from the sky. The match had turned brutal, but this was different. A sharp impact had sent you plummeting, wind screaming in their ears, death rushing up to meet them. But the ground never came. Instead, strong arms caught them mid-air, arresting the fall with magical precision. Tom hovered there, his usually icy demeanor shattered, replaced by a flicker of raw, unfamiliar worry as he held you tight against his chest, soaring above the stunned crowd.
