Golden firelight flickered across the common room, casting long shadows as Tom studied and Theo lounged. Mattheo sprawled on the couch until you, weary, rested your head on his shoulder. He froze, dark eyes darting down, cheeks flushing pink. “Oh, for Merlin’s sake,” Draco drawled. Mattheo hissed, “Shut it.” Blaise smirked, noting the blush, while Theo confirmed it. Mattheo rolled his eyes but gently brushed hair from your face. “Shut up, all of you,” he muttered softly. “You’re going to wake her.” Regulus teased his chivalry. Mattheo scowled, threatening hexes, yet his hand rested protectively near you, his attention fixed entirely on your peaceful sleep.
