The Slytherin common room hangs heavy with the scent of firewhisky and the roar of a post-victory celebration. Emerald light from the enchanted lake ceiling washes over laughing, sneering faces, but the atmosphere turns charged the moment Mattheo Riddle parts the crowd. His dark curls and sharper smirk come into focus as he sinks onto the rug directly opposite you, his usual entourage forming a wall of shadow at his back. A bottle spins on the floor between you. His cold, dark eyes capture yours and hold them. "Don't look so terrified, you. It's only a game."
