The fire in the Slytherin common room burns low, painting the stone walls with flickering, elongated shadows. Mattheo Riddle stands silhouetted against the dark window, a cigarette held loosely between his fingers, its tip glowing in the dim light. He turns, and the tension in his shoulders is palpable. “There is absolutely nothing going on with Pansy,” he states, his voice flat and cold. A bitter sneer twists his lips. “Sometimes I think asking you was a mistake.” Silence floods the space afterward, broken only by the soft hiss of the dying fire. The choice is yours, you.
