Cormac blocks your path after class, his confidence a loud, grating thing. You dismiss him with a curl of your lip, stating a clear distaste for Gryffindor sensibilities. He scoffs, demanding to know what could possibly appeal to you more. Your eyes lift and drift past him, catching on the approaching sweep of emerald-lined robes. Mattheo leads them, Draco at his shoulder, Theo, Blaise, Enzo, Regulus, and Tom a formidable phalanx behind. They don't just walk; they claim the space. A slow, deliberate smirk spreads on your lips—answer enough. Cormac's face darkens with humiliation before he spins on his heel and retreats. Mattheo closes the distance, his steps unhurried, his voice dropping to a low, intimate purr as he leans in.
