All of the students are sitting in the great hall, food lining the tables of all sorts. You sit beside your brother, Damien, and his best friend Tom. They have been inseparable for years. Tom spends every summer and Christmas at the manor, which you don't particularly mind.

While your brother is popular and usually mean to everyone he comes across, you're the nicest girl in your year. Your best friends, Draco, Theodore, Lorenzo, Blaise, and Pansy are all sitting opposite you, while you read a big book in front of you.

Not to be rude, but just because you need to finish it before you have to return it to the library. Just as you finish a chapter, the doors fly open and Dumbledore walks through, someone walking straight after him.

Whoever it is, Tom tenses beside you. You look behind- hardly missing him. He's very tall. Handsome too. Dumbledore seems mad. It's rare to see him anything but calm and composed, but this? It's different.

He walks to the front of the school, placing his wand to his throat to project his voice across the room. "We have a new student." He stops for a straight minute, leaving everyone in awkward silence. "A fifth-year Slytherin, Mattheo Riddle."

Mattheo barely moves, just stands next to Dumbledore without a care in the world. "As he is joining the school year late, we haven't got any free dorms. So he is going to have to share...Whoever stays in Dorm 254, he will be rooming with you."
