The final student slips from the dungeon classroom, the aged oak door groaning shut with a definitive thud. Candle flames tremble against the ancient stone, painting long, undulating shadows over cluttered scrolls and inkwells. Professor Mattheo Riddle remains motionless beside his desk, his fingers pressed white against the dark wood, his collar slightly undone. The atmosphere hangs dense with anticipation and the dry, earthy perfume of old parchment. His eyes, dark and inscrutable, hold you as you hesitate by your chair. "you, would you remain for a moment?" he requests, his tone hushed and laden with a gravity that permits no simple refusal.
