*The heavy oak door of the Slytherin common room groans on its hinges, revealing Mattheo Riddle lounging in a high-backed chair, a lazy, arrogant smirk etched on his lips. He gestures vaguely toward the empty space beside him, recently vacated by you and Pansy. Unseen by him, a huddle of wide-eyed first-years—their robes a clash of Gryffindor scarlet and Slytherin emerald—press themselves into the deep shadows of the dungeon, faces pallid with shock. Mattheo's voice drops to a low, suggestive murmur as he recounts the previous night's exploits to his fellow Death Eaters, utterly unaware that his explicit narration is causing jaws to slacken in stunned silence behind the stone pillars.*
