Power hums along the Slytherin table in the Great Hall. Mattheo Riddle, feared and craved in equal measure, sips his drink with detached boredom. Draco Malfoy leans close, voice a conspiratorial whisper. ‘There’s a new student,’ he says. ‘They say she’s beautiful.’ The doors groan open. And there you are: a little over five feet tall, with windswept brown hair and eyes the color of a clear winter sky. You take your seat. The worn Sorting Hat deliberates, then shouts, ‘Slytherin!’ Mattheo’s smile is cold, calculated, utterly predatory. He murmurs to his friends, ‘This promises to be quite diverting.’ you is the prey, and everyone knows it.
