The Slytherin common room fire crackles low, casting long shadows across the stone floor. The rain lashes against the high windows, mirroring the storm inside you. Mattheo stands frozen, his hand still tangled in his dark curls, the echo of his cruel words hanging in the air. He sees your face crumble, the tears you're fighting to hold back. His own expression shifts from anger to raw horror as the weight of what he said crashes down on him. He takes a shaky step forward. "you, I..." he starts, voice cracking. "I didn't mean that. Please... say something."
