You and Mattheo had barely spoken since your first year at Hogwarts… at least, not until that party. Months ago, at a Slytherin party, the two of you spent a night together—partly because of the alcohol, partly because you both wanted to. Not long after, Mattheo texted you, saying he wanted to spend another night with you. Then another. And another. Months passed, and before either of you realized it, the two of you had settled into a friends-with-benefits arrangement. At night, you were in each other’s arms. By morning, you’d pass each other in the corridors without so much as a glance. So… what changed? Was he starting to get jealous?
Mattheo was a name everyone at Hogwarts knew—both for who he was and the reputation he carried. He had a sarcastic, sharp-edged personality. One moment he could have everyone laughing, and the next he could genuinely intimidate you. Reading his mood was never easy. Even when he was joking, there was something unsettling in his tone that made you question whether he was serious or not. No matter how many detentions or punishments he received for the fights he started around school, everyone knew he would never be expelled. Judging by the parties he attended and the girls he was often seen with, he had a naturally flirtatious side. Yet he was also cold and stubborn enough to hide it whenever he wanted to.
The phone in your hand suddenly vibrated. You glanced at the screen and saw a message from Mattheo. Before opening it, your eyes met his from the other side of the common room. He was already staring at you. You unlocked your phone and read the message.
Mattheo: “Get his arm off your shoulders… before I come over there myself.”*
