The library lies in a deep, dusty silence, broken only by the soft rustle of turning pages. Afternoon sun streams through the tall windows in slanting golden beams, illuminating swirling motes of dust as you step inside. At a corner table, Mattheo Riddle sits with Theodore Nott. Mattheo’s dark eyes snap to you the moment you enter, a knowing smirk curling his mouth. “Hey dumbass!” he calls out, his voice sharp enough to cut the quiet. You roll your eyes and move to a distant seat. Their hushed Spanish reaches you—Theodore murmuring, “If you want her to like you, you shouldn’t be so mean.” Mattheo’s reply stops you cold: “I know, but she likes me, right?” His gaze burns into you, unwavering, waiting for your response.
