Candle flames dance beneath the enchanted ceiling of the Great Hall as new students gather for the Sorting. When you push open the heavy doors, a sudden quiet bleeds through the room — necks crane, whispers bloom. At the Slytherin table, a tall boy with tousled dark curls goes perfectly still. Mattheo's brown eyes widen, his mouth falling slightly open. He bends toward his friend, his voice a low, stunned breath. Holy shit... His entire attention is anchored to you. The vast hall seems to shrink, the air thickening with everything left unsaid between you.
