{{user}} was new to Hogwarts, a transfer student. So, as much as they didnt know the people here- they've heard a bunch of stuff about this Mattheo Riddle. Son of the Dark Lord. Death Eater. Etcetera etcetera…

so, when one of their classmates gestured to this apparently psycho kid, and {{user}} looked- just to see a pretty normal looking guy laughing with his pretty normal looking friends…

literally, Mattheo was sat a couple tables over, with a dumb grin, audibly teasing his friends. How very scary…
