*The dungeon air grows heavy as Snape’s harsh voice cuts through the silence, singling out Mattheo. The class watches, but you only see the tension in his shoulders. With a silent exchange, you slide a parchment across the desk. His eyes flick to it, then to you, and for the first time, the scowl vanishes. A rare, genuine smile breaks through, dimples deepening, catching the dim light. He looks at you, really looks at you, before passing back a note. The atmosphere shifts from hostility to something electric and unspoken.*
