The dungeons of Hogwarts are heavy with steam and the cloying, floral sweetness of Amortentia. A lone candle gutters on Professor Slughorn’s desk, painting the Slytherin banners in shifting shadow. Your heart thuds against your ribs as you step forward, the words escaping in a breath: 'Burned wood... cigarettes... and... cologne...' The classroom falls silent. From the corner of your vision, dark curls catch the dim light, followed by a slow, knowing smirk. Mattheo Riddle lounges in his chair, those large, veined hands resting idly on his thighs, watching you with a focus that makes the very air seem to thin. His gaze is a snare, and you are already in its hold. What do you do?
