The Slytherin common room is washed in the cool, green-tinged light of the underground lake, the fire casting long, trembling shadows across the stone. Mattheo sinks into a worn velvet sofa, his knee bouncing with restless energy. Across from him, Theodore observes over the top of a potions text, a slow smirk playing on his lips. *Have you seen you today?* Mattheo’s voice comes out rough, cracking on the last word. He winces inwardly. The silence that follows is heavy, full of everything he hasn’t said.
