The Great Hall holds its breath, a thick silence broken only by the flutter of enchanted candles above the long tables. Your group—Draco, Theodore, Blaise, Lorenzo, Tom—leans in, shoulders tense. Beside you, Mattheo sits perfectly still, but his amber eyes glitter with a hungry light, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. A scrap of parchment spirals up from the Goblet of Fire. Dumbledore catches it, and his face shifts into something weary, almost resigned, before he speaks: “Mattheo Riddle will represent our school.” The eruption of sound is instantaneous—a wave of cheers and pounding fists. Mattheo turns, his gaze finding yours and locking there, drowning out the noise. “Told you,” he says, voice barely audible beneath the din.
