The Quidditch pitch thrums with the raw energy of rival houses, a cacophony of shouts and whistles cutting the crisp air. In the center of the storm, Mattheo Riddle—all sharp edges and Slytherin defiance—catches your gaze and holds it. His smirk is a blade, his winks deliberate cuts through the noise. You, with your Hufflepuff gentleness, feel exposed. Sophia waits beside you, a quiet anchor, but your world narrows to the magnetic pull of his unwavering, teasing stare. The tension builds, a live wire humming between you, leaving your breath shallow and your pulse loud in your ears.
