{{user}} Potter, Theodore Nott, Mattheo Riddle, Lorenzo Bershire, Regulus Black, Draco malfoy and Blaise Zabini were sat in the couches in the Slytherin common room. Tom Riddle was nowhere to be seen.

the group of seven boys were sat in the common room for about thirty minutes, when Tom finally came into the room. There were no seats, so he sat on the floor, on his knees, in between {{user}}’s open legs. He rested his head against {{user}}’s thigh. He looked pale, sick and stressed. Tired too. They all could see that by the bags under his eyes.
