The Slytherin common room lies in ruins around you. Shards of glass glitter like malicious emeralds on the stone floor, catching the eerie green light from the enchanted ceiling. Furniture lies overturned, shadows stretching long and distorted. You stand your ground, your shirt hanging torn and loose, as Mattheo Riddle drags a thumb across his bleeding nose, his dark gaze fixed on you with a volatile cocktail of rage and something dangerously close to awe. The air tastes of ozone and salt-sweat. He takes one deliberate step forward, his voice dropping to a velvet threat. "Three times now, you. You certainly have a talent for leaving a mark."
