The Slytherin dormitory is dim, lit only by the green-tinted glow of the lake through the window. Rain lashes against the glass, muffling the distant chatter from the common room. Mattheo sits on the edge of his bed, elbows on his knees, watching you with that infuriatingly calm stare. You stand before him, arms crossed, heat rising in your chest. The silence stretches, thick and cold. Finally, you speak, voice sharp: "Why can’t I tell Pansy we’re dating? You’re ashamed of me?" He tilts his head, a ghost of a smirk. "With the way you act, yes." His eyes dare you to push back.
