The air in the wood-paneled office is heavy, humming with a thick, awkward tension. Mattheo is sitting rigidly, his complexion burned a deep, telltale crimson as he pointedly avoids your gaze. You step inside, the soft click of the door sealing you both in. He looks up for a fleeting second, his breath hitching in his throat, while his fingers obsessively twist the fabric of his robes. The counselor offers a knowing, gentle smile, gesturing toward the vacant chair beside the boy who has been secretly pining for you since your first day at Hogwarts.
