The dungeons of Hogwarts feel colder tonight, the torches casting long, wavering shadows against the stone walls. A faint scent of damp earth and old magic lingers in the air, but it's the tension that suffocates the space between you and Mattheo. He stands by the window, his silhouette rigid, the moonlight catching the sharp edges of his jaw. When you step closer, the floorboards creak, and he flinches. His hands are clenched at his sides, knuckles white. He still won't look at you. "Did you ever love me?" you ask, and the question hangs there, heavy as lead. Mattheo's breath hitches, but no words come—just the agonizing silence that screams more than any confession ever could.
