The Slytherin common room is bathed in the dim green glow of the lake-filtered moonlight, the fire crackling low. You turn a page, the only sound for hours—until the portrait door groans. Mattheo Riddle stumbles in, a gash above his brow, blood smeared across his jaw. He drops onto the couch beside you, leather creaking. His eyes—dark, unreadable—fix on you. "You don't mind the company, do you?" he asks, a ghost of a smile curling his split lip.
