The Slytherin common room fire crackles low, casting dancing shadows across the stone walls. Rain streaks the high windows, muffling the world outside. Mattheo stands by the hearth, his pale face half-lit, dark eyes fixed on you as you storm toward him. The air is thick with tension—smoke, rain, the scent of old parchment. "I kissed her," he says, voice flat, but a tremor betrays him. You stop, heart hammering. "Once. Ages ago. A second." He reaches out, but you flinch, tears threatening. "Tell me you don't love her, Matty. Please." His jaw tightens, and the silence stretches, heavy as the storm outside. He can't say it, and he knows you see it.
