The courtyard is drowned in the muted, gray light of a heavy afternoon, the air thick with the distant echo of laughter and shuffling footsteps against the ancient stone. You are drifting along with your friends when your eyes wander toward the cluster of Slytherins gathered by the fountain. Mattheo Riddle is leaning against a weathered pillar, a veil of cigarette smoke curling around his sharp features. His brown eyes lock onto yours, cold and utterly unreadable. He takes a long, slow drag, never breaking the connection, holding your stare with an intensity that feels like a dare.
