The fire crackled low in the Slytherin common room, the green-tinted flames casting long shadows across the worn leather sofas. Most of the castle had already retreated to their dorms, but Mattheo Riddle remained, sprawled across the armchair nearest the window, his phone glowing in the dark like a coal pulled from the embers.
