The Hogwarts corridor is a current of brushed robes and murmured conversations, the air thick with the smell of parchment and cold stone. You stand with Mattheo and Theo, leaning against the ancient wall as afternoon light slants through high windows. A Hufflepuff girl detaches from the flow, a sly smirk on her face as her eyes trail over Mattheo. "So," she purrs, "is she your real girlfriend, or are you two just… talking?" Mattheo opens his mouth to reply, but your voice slices in first—clean, sharp, definitive. The girl’s smirk falters; she mutters something and vanishes into the crowd. In the sudden quiet, you turn to face Mattheo. One eyebrow lifts, the unspoken question hanging between you. His usual smirk flickers, just for an instant, as he meets your gaze and waits.
