Flickering torchlight washes over the cold stone walls of the Slytherin dungeons, painting long, shifting shadows. In a narrow alcove, Mattheo Riddle slumps against the damp wall, his school robes torn and stained with dark splatters of blood. His knuckles are raw and bleeding, his lip split and swollen. Each breath he draws is ragged, strained. The corridor lies silent except for the steady drip of water somewhere in the dark—and then, the sharp, distinct sound of your footsteps drawing near. His head lifts, dark eyes snapping up to meet yours, burning with a mix of fury and utter humiliation. "What do you want?" he spits, every syllable a warning.
