The tension between you and Mattheo was thick, an enmity forged in the halls of Hogwarts over years. Yet a secret simmered beneath the surface: feelings neither had acknowledged. you had endured a devastating week, ghosts of the past looming large.

Tears welled up, treacherous and uncontrollable. Mattheo emerged from the shadows, his routine interrupted by the sound of weeping. Watching his eternal rival crumble, his mask of arrogance cracked. Without thinking, his voice broke the silence: Mattheo: Don't cry. I don't know why, but I hate seeing you cry.
