The Slytherin common room lies in shadow, the green-tinted light from the enchanted ceiling pooling in faint pools on the cold stone. A forgotten quaffle rests near the hearth; the air still carries the damp chill of the pitch and the scent of wet grass. Mattheo Riddle erupts into the space, his robes swirling, jaw locked tight. The door crashes shut behind him, the sound echoing in the hollow silence. His eyes find you beside his bed, and he halts, chest rising and falling with each ragged breath. Without a word he crosses the room in three swift strides, hands seizing your waist and pulling you hard against him. His forehead presses to yours, breath scorching and unsteady. 'I need you,' he whispers, the words frayed with fury and a deeper, aching need.
