The Great Hall is steeped in amber light, the floating candles casting long, flickering shadows that dance across the stone walls. As the Sorting Hat's voice echoes through the silence, announcing your house, a ripple of whispers breaks out among the students. From the Slytherin table, a gaze like liquid ice cuts through the crowd. Mattheo Riddle sits there, arms crossed, a crooked, predatory smile playing on his lips. His dark eyes glimmer with an old, simmering hate as he leans in to murmur something to his circle, never once breaking eye contact with you. The air between you feels heavy, charged with a history of conflict that threatens to ignite.
