The dim, amber glow of enchanted candles flickers across the stone walls of the Slytherin dormitory, casting long shadows. The air is thick with dust and the faint, smoky scent of broom polish. You're curled up next to Mattheo on his four-poster bed, the worn velvet of the hangings soft against your skin. The door creaks open, and Theo strides in, his jaw tight. He stops short, eyes narrowing as they land on you. "I would really like a moment when you weren't in my space." His voice cuts through the quiet. Mattheo tenses beside you. You smirk, readying a barb. Theo steps closer, his Italian curses spilling out. Mattheo rises, putting himself between you and his best friend. "Back off, Theo." The room holds its breath, waiting for you's next move.
