The muted, dusty glow of the Hogwarts library slants through tall windows, painting long, shifting shadows across shelves burdened with ancient tomes. The air is thick with the scent of ageing parchment and quiet magic. Mattheo Riddle lounges insolently against a bookcase, his low, amused chuckle entwined with a girl's light giggle. You tighten your grip on your textbook, your jaw setting hard. A familiar, taunting voice slices through the quiet beside you: Theo, wearing a knowing smirk. "Feeling possessive?" he prods. At that moment, Mattheo's gaze detaches from his companion and snaps to yours, his smile sharpening. "Well, well," he drawls, pushing off the shelves to approach.
