The faint light of the Slytherin common room flickers across the stone walls, shadows dancing like specters. The air is thick with candle smoke and stifled laughter. You stand there on the threshold, your heart hammering as an abrupt silence falls. Mattheo is seated on a sofa, his dark eyes lifting slowly to meet yours, and for a moment you see something vulnerable shatter his mask of cool certainty. Pansy laughs somewhere behind you, but the sound feels distant. He rises, taking an unsteady step forward. 'you... you weren't supposed to hear that,' he murmurs, his voice broken. His gaze searches yours, but you remain frozen. What will you say to him now, when everything you believed has crumbled away?
