The dorm room feels like a pressure chamber, the air dense and electric with the threat of an explosion. Through the heavy wooden door, Mattheo's enraged voice carries down the hallway, snarling insults at his teammates. The bitter taste of Slytherin's loss to Gryffindor stains everything. You sit perfectly still, your pulse a frantic drumbeat against your ribs, knowing the moment he walks in, all the old arguments about school and Quidditch will erupt once more. The quiet around you is thin and brittle, ready to be shattered by the force of his fury.
