TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1.all my fics have warnings, make sure to read them before you engage. 2.all my fics will be written in english. 3.there will be smut fics that are 18+. please respect the age limit and refrain yourselves from saying or implying that you are a minor. (it makes me, and the other readers uncomfortable.) 4
may i remind you that these fics are a product of my imagination.
i do NOT reflect the real opinions and personalities of my face claims!
i would love to see yโallโs ideas and i will definitely add credit when its due. [if you would like to explicitly share that it was you, either take off anon or sign with your @]

right now, i only accept โslytherin boysโ requests (but this is not definite, as iโm a hopeless romantic).
Why are you not re-blogging? You think the fandom is dead, that no oneโs interacting anymore, no oneโs doing anything, no oneโs writing, no oneโs posting. โEveryone was so hyperfixed on that character, Where is the writing?โ
People are writing. People arenโt reblogging. People arenโt giving some good feedback to motivate the writers that are putting their hard work, time, effort into making this piece that you were reading.
โoh, itโs just too much work. You donโt wanna click that button and then click a few tags.โ Then youโre gonna have to suffer and not see a lot of writing from a lot of people because the only way this fucking app works is if you reblog.
I see so many pieces of work with 59 likes and 1 blog, I just saw one that had 690 likes and it had 9 reblogs. Even 1,000 likes and only 59 reblogs too. Itโs devastating to see for the community of Tumblr. And Iโve been here for like five years, the way this app works is if you re-blog.
Thereโs so many people that are writing. Thereโs so many amazing things that I see and I try my best to reblog every single one that I read. Thatโs what I love doing because sharing someoneโs piece of work is just beautiful because it allows me to show it to more people.
I reblog. And the beauty of it is;
I get notifications that this person liked it and this person liked it, and then that post continues to get more views, more likes and reblogs. All just because one person, reblogged it.
so please, if you are a part of Tumblr and you love reading your favorite writers fics, or love reading about your favorite character, please do your job and reblog it.
And if you donโt like re-blogging because you donโt want to do that on your account, then you can make another account and put all of the things that you read on that account. You can do separate things, like fic recs.
You can figure it the fuck out if you want people to actually be writing for a character you love. The writers are writing, you ainโt helping them share their work.

[!] ๐ช๐๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ:
The castle is asleepโor at least pretending to be.ย
The corridors are quiet, except for the occasional creak of a floorboard or a distant snore echoing from some unlucky dorm.
The party is over, leaving behind a faint haze of spilled alcohol and drugs, candle smoke, and the unmistakable odor of hormonal teenage sweat. Lovely.ย
Youโre halfway down the Slytherin corridor, hoodie half-zipped, hair sticking up like itโs trying to escape your head, sweats that are not yours and too big barely clinging to your hips, and, of course, a brain fog heavier than all the shit youโve done tonight.
Itโs ridiculous.ย
You know itโs ridiculous. But somehow, in the blurry, post-party haze, itโs perfectโan indisputable marker of your escapade.
Itโs around five a.m when you catch sight of Mattheo Riddle.
Heโs doing that thing where he pretends to be lowkey โ collar popped, sleeves rolled up, steps light but way too confident to pass as innocent.ย
Itโs funny really, as heโs sneaking in, of course. Typical.
And you? Youโre doing exactly the opposite.
Youโre sneaking out.
The air in the hallway is heavy, still buzzing faintly from the remnants of whatever chaos just happened behind that door โ the door, by the way, with a white sock still hanging off the knob like a pathetic little trophy of shame.
You try to act casual, but the moment Mattheoโs eyes meet yours, you already know itโs over. His lips twitch, fighting a grin. The kind that starts small and ends in trouble.
He glances at the sock.
Then at you.
Then back at the sock.
And you just know heโs going to be unbearable.
You try to pass him without saying a word, but he shifts, just enough to block your path. He doesnโt even have to say anything โ the smirk does all the talking. That slow, lazy kind of smirk that says he knows everything you donโt want him to know.ย
You roll your eyes, whispering, โDonโt.โ
That makes it worse.
He leans in, voice low and quiet enough that it feels like heat on your neck. โYouโre up late,โ he points out.
You exhale a sharp breath through your nose, half laughing, half mortified. โYouโre up early.โ
The silence is so ridiculous itโs almost funny.
He can't help but let his gaze drop for a second, shamelessly checking you out.
Perhaps is that unmistakable post-fuck glow he really wishes he would enjoy at least once in his lifetime, but thats a dirty little secret he likes to keeps close to his heart. Something heโll pretend not to think about later.
He hums, almost to himself. โTouchรฉ.โ
You shift your weight from one foot to the other, trying to act casual, though your brain is screaming that casual left the building a long time ago.
โSo, umโฆโ you start, voice cracking just enough to make your composure laughable. โYou just came back? Who was the lucky girl this time?โ
He smiles, that slow, teeth full in display, infuriating kind of smile that looks like itโs been practiced in the mirror a hundred times but somehow still manages to feel effortless. โWouldnโt you like to know?โ
The way he says itโlow, drawling, just a hint of tauntโmakes your stomach twist. Itโs the kind of tone that would start an argument if either of you had the energy, but at five in the morning, it just hangs there between you, thick and charged.
You roll your eyes, trying for dismissive. โJust making conversation, Riddle. No need to be so mysterious about it.โ
He tilts his head, โmaybe I like a little mystery,โ he says, as a cheeky tug on the corner of his lips makes its presence. โKeeps things interesting.โ
You scoff, trying to mask the flutter in your stomach with bravado. โMerlin, thatโs rich. Mystery? Youโre the same guy who always has to be the center of attention. If this is what you call mysteriousโฆโ
Mattheo chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck โYouโd be surprised.โ Thereโs weight in it, subtle but dangerous, and you know it. His eyes flick to you for a moment longer than necessary, and you feel itโthe little spike of jealousy heโs pretending isnโt there.
Because letโs be honest: the truth is, he wishes it was you.
You catch it, of course. You always do. That faint twitch in his jaw, the heat in his eyes. And suddenly, the hallway feels smaller, tighter, almost vibrating between the two of you.
You roll your eyes again, shaking your head, trying to ignore the stupid, twisting tension. โRightโฆ,โ you mutter, โbecause nothing screams โmysteriousโ like awkwardly wandering the halls at five in the morning, babe.โ
โBabe?โ he repeats, eyebrows lifting, like heโs tasting the word on his tongue just to ruin it for you.
You freeze for a second too long. โItโs a figure of speech,โ you lie, too quickly.
โSure it is.โ His grin widens, โdidnโt know we were on babe terms now.โ
You shove past him, or try to. His shoulder brushes yours, a touch that shouldnโt feel like anything, but does anywayโelectric, deliberate, irritatingly aware.
โMattheo, move please.โ
He doesnโt.ย
โYou know,โ he murmurs, gaze flicking over you, โI always wondered what kind of trouble youโd get into after curfew. Never thought itโd involve someone elseโs sweatpants.โ
Your head snaps toward him, eyes narrowing. โCareful, you sound jealous.โ
โWho says Iโm not?โ he fires back, smooth, too smooth, and thatโs when you realize heโs not joking.
You should walk away. You should, but the castleโs pretending to sleep just to give you both privacy, and you have to take the opportunity.
But then he leans closer, close enough that you catch the faint scent of firewhisky and something darker underneath, something him.
โTell me,โ he says quietly, โwas it worth it?โ
Your breath catches. โWhat?โ
He smirks again, cruel in that beautiful way of his. โSneaking out of someone elseโs room just to run into me.โ
โOh, the irony,โ you fire back as quickly as your pulse. โI was actually trying to avoid running into delusional egos at this hour.โ
โThatโs a shame,โ he says, closing the space with a lazy confidence that dares you to step back. โMy ego tends to keep excellent company.โ
โYeah?โ you reply, crossing your arms, pretending his nearness doesnโt rattle you. โCanโt imagine it gets invited anywhere twice.โ
He laughs softlyโdangerous, genuine, too close. โYou wound me.โ
โGood. Maybe youโll bleed arrogance.โ
โNot likely,โ he murmurs, gaze dropping briefly to your lips before catching himself. โYouโd need to get closer for that kind of damage.โ
You snort, halfโamused, halfโbetrayed by the heat rising to your cheeks. โIn your dreams, Matt.โ
โOh, you have no idea,โ he says, almost serious now, voice steadierโhe can't help himself but to direct his eyes at you.
โStop looking at me like that,โ you whisper.
โLike what?โ he asks, voice rough around the edges, but itโs teasing, barely.
โLike Iโmโโ You hesitate, tongue caught on the truth.
โWorth the trouble?โ he finishes for you, a soft, reckless smile playing on his lips.
You almost forget to breathe. โYouโre such an idiot.โ
โYeah,โ he says, leaning down just enough for his breath to brush your cheek, โbut Iโm your idiotโฆ apparently.โ
That earns him a startled tug of a smile from you, and for once, thereโs no sharpness between youโjust the maddening sweetness of something you both refuse to name.
He exhales a quiet laugh. โYou should go before I do something stupid.โ
โLike what?โ you whisper, heartbeat betraying you.
He grins again, this time softer, almost shy. โLike ask you to stay.โ
And you hate how, for one dangerous, delicious heartbeat, you almost do.

โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who watches you like youโre center stage, eyes dark and unblinking, taking in every shift of your expression like youโre reciting the most intoxicating monologue heโs ever heard. When you catch him staring, he only smirks. "Just admiring the performance, darling."
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who speaks in velvet and sharp edges, whose words could cut or caress depending on his mood, who backs you against a bookshelf in the library with a script in hand, murmuring, "Letโs rehearse, shall we?" but his gaze is anywhere but on the wordsโfixed instead on your parted lips, your heaving breath, the way your fingers twitch at your sides like youโre waiting for him to make a move.
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who leans in at the worst moments, just close enough that you feel the heat of him, his breath teasing against your skin, but never quite touching. In a dimly lit theatre before the curtains rise, in a quiet corridor where no one can see. He lingers, smirking at the way your breath hitches. "Tell me, love," he murmurs, voice laced with amusement. "Is it the suspense thatโs killing you, or me?"
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo whose hands are always controlled, deliberateโexcept when it comes to you. With you, his grip tightens just a little too much, fingers digging into your waist when he pulls you closer, palm ghosting over your thigh when you sit beside him. "Youโre quite the distraction," he muses, voice low, as if itโs your fault his hands canโt seem to stay still.
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who knows exactly what heโs doing when he drops his voice to that slow, deliberate drawl, tilting his head like heโs watching the climax of a scene unfold in real time. "You love this, donโt you?" he murmurs, tracing an idle finger along your jaw. "The build-up. The tension. Tell me, darling, how long do you think we can make this last?"
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who argues about the nuances of contemporary theatre with the same passion some people reserve for war, whose sharp tongue cuts like a well-rehearsed monologue, but softens when you roll your eyes and call him insufferable. "Come on, love, you have to admit I have a point."
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who smells like old books and expensive cologne, who carries a well-worn play script in his coat pocket, pages dog-eared and scribbled with notes, but never lets anyone see them except for you. "Itโs not finished," he murmurs when you catch a glimpse. "Yet."
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who quotes lines from plays under his breath without realizing, who will argue to the death that nothing beats live theatre, but still begrudgingly sits through a Tarantino film just because you love it. "Donโt look so smug," he mutters when the credits roll, "I suppose it wasnโt terrible."
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who tugs you close in the dim glow of a theatre lobby, fingers ghosting over your wrist like a director guiding an actor into place, his voice low and teasing. "If we were in a play right now," he murmurs, "this would be the part where I kiss you."
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who lingers in dressing rooms filled with fading lights and the smell of roses, his tie undone, his eyes lazy and warm. โYou know,โ he murmurs, brushing his thumb over the smudge of eyeliner beneath your eye, โthe best performances are the ones no oneโs supposed to see.โ
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who never claps at your performances, no matter how good you are โ just watches, quiet and intent, until you meet his gaze. Only then does he smile, slow and deliberate. โYou already know Iโm impressed,โ he says. โWhy waste the applause?โ
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who leans against the stage door after a show, cigarette unlit between his fingers, voice rough from cheering for you in silence. โYou were brilliant,โ he says, but his tone makes it sound like a confession โ like brilliance isnโt what he came for, but you.
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who gets jealous in silence, hiding it behind lazy smirks and cutting jokes. You mention someone elseโs compliment and his jaw tightens. โOh?โ he says casually. โGuess everyone wants front-row seats now.โ
โ๏ฝกห theatrelover!mattheo who leans in just before the curtain falls, eyes burning with something unscripted. โWe should improvise the ending,โ he murmurs. โSomething the audience wonโt forget.โ

[!] ๐ช๐๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ:
Mattheo has a tick.
It shows up when heโs trying too hard to seem unbothered โ a small, almost imperceptible twitch in his jaw, the muscle there tightening like heโs biting back something sharp. Most people miss it. You donโt.
Youโve seen it in class, when you correct him under your breath. During study sessions, when you answer before he does. Even when you laugh at someone elseโs joke โ that tiny clench, the flicker of something possessive, gone before anyone else can catch it.
You shouldnโt notice it, but you do. Itโs a tell, a pulse of honesty in someone who hides behind a smirk and a drawl. The more you see it, the more you realize itโs the only time he ever looks real.
Tonight, you see it again.
Itโs late โ past midnight โ and the dungeons are quiet except for the sound of dripping water and your footsteps echoing off the stone. The corridors are cold this deep in the castle, your breath visible in the dim torchlight. Youโre heading back from the library, trying to remember if you left your quill behind, when you hear him behind you.
โStudying again?โ His voice is lazy, familiar โ that sort of drawl that makes your name sound like both a challenge and a joke.
You donโt turn around. โYou stalking me now?โ
He chuckles. โYou wish.โ
When you finally glance back, heโs leaning against the wall at the end of the corridor โ shirt untucked, tie loose, hair a mess like he just rolled out of a fight or a nap. The torchlight catches on the edge of his jaw, and there it is. That tick.
โYouโre out late,โ you say.
โSo are you.โ He pushes off the wall and walks closer, his shoes dragging a little on the stone floor. โCouldnโt sleep.โ
โGuiltโll do that,โ you mutter.
He smirks, the corner of his mouth pulling up, but his eyes are watching you too closely. โFor what? Outperforming you again?โ
You snort. โKeep telling yourself that.โ
Heโs close now โ close enough that you can smell the faint trace of smoke and peppermint clinging to his uniform. The air feels heavier here, thick with whatever this thing between you has become. You glance away, but he steps closer again.
โWhy do you do that?โ you ask quietly.
โDo what?โ
โThat little thing with your jaw.โ
He blinks, caught off guard. โWhat thing?โ
You tilt your head, studying him. โThe twitch. You do it when youโre trying not to say something.โ
For a moment, he just looks at you, lips parting slightly. Then, almost involuntarily, his jaw tightens again โ the same tell you were talking about. You let out a soft laugh. โSee? That.โ
He exhales through his nose, shaking his head. โYou notice too much.โ
โItโs not my fault youโre easy to read.โ
That earns you a real reaction โ a quiet scoff, half amusement, half disbelief. He takes one more step forward, until your back almost grazes the cold stone wall. His voice drops, rougher now. โIโm not easy to read. You just keep staring long enough to try.โ
Your pulse jumps, but you hold your ground. โMaybe I like knowing what bothers you.โ
He leans in a fraction, breath ghosting the edge of your jaw. โMaybe thatโs dangerous.โ
โMaybe you like that,โ you whisper.
He doesnโt answer, just watches you, eyes flicking down to your mouth and back. The air between you hums โ too charged, too alive for this hour of the night. His jaw twitches again, slow this time, deliberate. He knows you see it.
โCareful,โ he murmurs, almost smiling. โYouโre starting to sound like you like me.โ
You meet his gaze, steady. โYouโd like that too much.โ
โMaybe,โ he says, the word slipping out before he can stop it.
And for a moment, neither of you move. The torch crackles. Water drips somewhere in the dark. His eyes stay on you, that stubborn twitch pulsing again like a heartbeat.
Then he steps back โ just enough to breathe โ and the space he leaves behind feels colder than before.
โGoodnight, Riddle,โ you say softly.
He smirks, but his voice is quieter now. โNight, sweetheart.โ
As you walk away, you can feel him watching, jaw tight, the truth still caught somewhere between his teeth.
hello! I hope you are doing great, I just wanted to say I absolutely love your writing!!! I was so happy when you posted part 4 of operation matty gals in love! It is sooo good and I canโt wait for more!
aaaaaaw!!!! thank u doll, i have more posts on the cooking lol, lots of love!! ๐๐
AN: I actually really enjoyed writing this, it's giving... "operation Matty falls in love" lmaoooo.
๐ช๐๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ: > requests are open! โcome again? button!โ
If Mattheo Riddle had a sickle for every time someone said โSheโs too good for you,โ he could buy out Honeydukes and burn it to the ground just to watch her pout about it.
Sheโs sunshine personifiedโwears yellow jumpers even in winter, leaves little pressed flowers in library books, and greets the bloody Bloody Baron like heโs just a misunderstood uncle. Sheโs also a Hufflepuff. Of course she is.
And she calls him Matty.
Like she owns the name. Like it was made for her mouth only.
And maybe it was.
But the first time you said it, eyes bright, smile so innocent it physically hurt, he nearly dropped his wand. Called you insane. Stalked off.
Then spent the entire night in the Astronomy Tower trying to replay the sound of it in his head like some lovesick idiot.
Now itโs a problem.
A situation.
A Matty situation.
Because when she says it? It sounds like something soft. Like the ghost of a smile he didnโt mean to have. Like safety, but dangerous. And Merlin help him, he likes it.
He hates everyone else.
Especially Theo, whoโdespite having the instincts of a drunk flobberwormโdecides one morning at breakfast to test fate.
Mattheoโs halfway through stabbing a sausage with the kind of aggression usually reserved for Aurors when Theo leans across the Slytherin table and says with a grin:
โOi, Matty, pass the pumpkin juice, would you?โ
Dead silence.
Blaise chokes on his toast. Enzo drops his fork. Pansyโs jaw unhinges like a cartoon.
Mattheo doesnโt speak. Doesnโt blink. Just looks at Theo.
Itโs not a glareโitโs worse.
Itโs disappointment.
Like a parent who's just realized their kidโs never getting into Hogwarts.
He slides the pumpkin juice over, slow. Deliberate. Like heโs thinking about turning it into poison first.
Then:
โCall me that again and Iโll replace your teeth with cursed quartz.โ
Theo, smart enough to want to live, nods gravely. โUnderstood.โ
Blaise whispers, โMerlinโs beard, he means it.โ
The thing is, Mattheo is a menace. A walking, talking red flag. All dark sarcasm and sharper edges. He wears leather like a second skin and glares like itโs a hobby. But around her? Around his Hufflepuff?
Heโs a different breed of dangerous.
Because heโs gentle.
Opens doors for her. Carries her books. Lets her braid little strings into his hair because โit brings out your eyes, Matty.โ (He left them in all day. No one said a thing.)
He walks her to Herbology even though it smells like composted nightmares, and he doesnโt complain. Not once.
And when sheโs late to meet him outside the library, he doesn't get annoyed. He just leans against the wall, hands in his pockets, pretending not to watch the clock. Pretending not to scan every face until it's hers.
When she finally arrives, out of breath and smiling up at him with that ridiculous Hufflepuff warmth, she says, โSorry, Matty! Sprout kept us late. Did you wait long?โ
And he just shrugs.
โYouโre here now.โ
(He waited forty-three minutes.)
Back in the common room that night, the boys are still on about it.
grumpy matteo x sunshine hufflepuff!reader. heโs so down bad for her and she calls him matty.. but sheโs the ONLY one. the slytherin boys are equally shocks and amused. heโs so gentle with her and theo tries to call him matty but matteo shuts him down immediately, not amused
ofccc bbyyyy! now you can find it under the requests master list. so sorry it took me like a million years to respond. much love! xxx ๐
๐ช๐๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ: > requests are open! โcome again? button!โ
The dungeons are thick with the scent of damp stone and ego. Mostly his.
Youโre laughing at something Theo Nott saysโtoo hard, if Mattheoโs opinion counts for anything, which it should, considering heโs been breathing down your neck in every Potions class for the last three months. Literally. Heย sits behind you.
Youโre both in the library now, huddled over some dusty Arithmancy text like two academics in love.ย Pathetic.ย Mattheo watches from the shadows of the bookshelf, arms crossed, jaw tight, blood hot.
The way Theo leans closer. The way youย donโtย pull back.
He bites the inside of his cheek so hard it stings.
Heโs notย jealousโdonโt be ridiculous. He'sย annoyed. Irritated. Mildly homicidal.
And maybe a little panicked.
Because itโs one thing to argue with you in class, to steal your quill and whisper things that make you roll your eyes and fight that smile. Itโs one thing to stay behind after hours just to correct your essays withย extra inked sarcasm. But itโs another thing entirely to see youโhis rival, his problem, his obsessionโbeing sweet on someone else.
Especiallyย Theo bloody Nott, who can't spell "Amortentia" without asking twice.
Mattheo slams the book in his hand shut a little too hard. The sound echoes like a gunshot. Your head snaps up.
Eyes meet.
You raise a brow. โProblem?โ
โYou tell me,โ he mutters, stepping into view. โDidnโt realize you were tutoring idiots now.โ
Theo snorts. โGood to see you too, Riddle.โ
You say nothing. Just stare at Mattheo like youโre trying to read something on his face he hasnโt said out loud yet.
Spoiler alert:ย you are.
โDonโt let me interrupt,โ he says, all teeth, all venom, all cracked dignity. โIโll just be over there. Seething. Possibly setting Nottโs chair on fire.โ
โSubtle,โ you deadpan.
He scoffs, turns on his heel, and walks off like he doesnโt care. He does.
โ
You find him in the empty Astronomy tower that night, boots up on the desk, hands behind his head, chewing on a sugar quill like it owes him money.
You donโt say anything at first. Just walk in and sit beside him, close enough that your shoulders brush. He doesnโt move away.
โYouโre a terrible liar,โ you say finally.
He doesnโt look at you. โAm not.โ
โJealousy looks soย uglyย on you.โ
He scoffs. โNot jealous.โ
โMm.โ
Silence.
Then, without looking at you, he says, low and rough, โI hate when you laugh at someone else the way you laugh at me.โ
Your breath catches.
He adds, quieter: โI hate knowing that one day, someone might actually get to have you. For real. Properly. And it might not be me.โ
You blink.
โOh,โ you whisper. Itโs stupid how loud your heart is all of a sudden.
Mattheo finally turns to you. His eyes are darker than usual, like the night itself is holding its breath. โYou make me crazy. And I think I like it. A little too much.โ
The silence stretches. Tense. Fragile.
Then you smile, just barely. โDonโt make me say it first.โ
And thatโs all he needs.
He kisses you like heโs starved. Like heโs been denying himself oxygen and just remembered how to breathe.
The walls might not talk, butย Mattheo Riddleโs mouth certainly does.
hey beautiful! how r you doing? may I request a one shot or literally anything with mattheo riddle asking his friends for advice or complaining to his friends after realizing he is in love with female reader? maybe he is jealous after seeing her with someone else idk

๐ช๐๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ: > requests are open! โcome again? button!โ
Hogwarts happened, and so did Mattheo Riddle.
You werenโt supposed to stay long. A transfer student with a tragic smile and a sharp tongue, newly arrived from Durmstrang with stories folded into your spine like paper cranesโno one quite knew what brought you here, only that you were smart, and secretive, and too tired to pretend you didnโt notice the way people watched you.
They sorted you into Slytherin like it was a dare.
The common room breathed around you like a sleeping serpent: green flames, velvet shadows, the soft hush of gossip spoken in half-truths. You didnโt flinch when people stared. You didnโt smile unless you meant it.
And maybe thatโs what Pansy Parkinson liked about you. You werenโt loud. You werenโt sweet. You were precise. Funny in a cutting way. The kind of girl who could gut someone with a sentence and still make it sound like poetry.
You became her favorite project.
By extension, you became part ofย themโher orbit of Slytherin boys, all leather-bound egos and lazy cruelty, sharp-eyed and silver-tongued. Draco, Theo, Blaise.
And then there was Mattheo.
He was the kind of boy your mother warned you about, not because he was dangerousโthough he wasโbut because he didnโt try to be.
He justย was.
He walked like the world owed him something and talked like it never gave him enough. Mattheo had a voice that could melt glass and a laugh that made you forget what you were saying mid-sentence. His eyes were too dark, too deep, like theyโd swallowed things boys his age werenโt meant to witness.
But what scared you most wasnโt his reputation, or his lineage, or the shadow of his father's name.
It was howย quietlyย he became yours.
It started with a glance that lasted too long.
Then a sentence that sounded more like a secret.
And then one night, by the Black Lake, when everything shifted.
The others had leftโdrunken laughter echoing down toward the castleโbut Mattheo stayed. You were sitting on the grass, arms looped around your knees, watching the moon ripple in the water like it was trying to remember itself.
He dropped beside you without a word. Close, but not close enough.
โYou always this good at being alone?โ he asked, voice like smoke.
You didnโt look at him. โAre you always this bad at pretending you donโt want company?โ
He laughed, low and real. It made something in you tilt.
He didnโt touch you. Not then. He just sat in the silence you made sacred, letting the world breathe between you.
But something began that night. Something slow and spectral and soft. Like a storm rolling in from somewhere distant, where the sky is still blue but the air already knows how it will end.
You werenโt best friends. You didnโt braid each otherโs trauma or fall asleep on each otherโs shoulders in the library. It wasnโt like that.
It was moreโฆ magnetic. A gravity between atoms. A chemical pull.
He started seeking you out. Not publicly, never performative. But in stolen spacesโthe alcove behind the greenhouse, the back row of Defense, the corridors that didnโt echo. Heโd press a shoulder to yours, hand you a stolen chocolate frog, ask what you were thinking like he could handle the answer.
โI donโt know what you are,โ he said once, voice tired. โBut I want to keep finding out.โ
You didnโt respond. Just leaned your head back against the stone wall and closed your eyes, pretending the way your heart leapt didnโt mean anything.
But of course it did.
The thing about Mattheo was that he never touched you unless heย meantย it.
So the first time he tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, your whole body went still like it had been struck.
The first time he called youย trouble, it felt like a confession.
And the first time he kissed youโGod, it wasnโt even soft. It wasย desperate. Like he was trying to swallow the words he didnโt know how to say, like if he kissed you hard enough it would keep you from leaving.
You didnโt leave.
You let him kiss you like that. Let him press his hands to your jaw like you were a fragile thing he didnโt know how to hold. You let him breathe you in like he hadnโt been breathing at all.
But summer came. And so did silence.
He disappeared like smokeโleft without warning, without a letter, without a trace.
And maybe it wasnโt personal. Maybe it was something else. Family. Fear. The kind of darkness you werenโt meant to see yet.
But that didnโt stop it from hurting.
You tried not to think about him. Failed, mostly.
Because love with Mattheo Riddle had been like holding a blade to your chest and asking it to remember how to be soft.
And heโhe had needed you. Once.
With his friends scattered across the continent in summer homes and high towers, and the weight of his fatherโs name coiled like a noose around his throat, Mattheo had needed something toย stitchย himself together again.
And youโyou had let him.
Threaded yourself through the seams of his damage, wrapped yourself like ribbon around his ruin. Let him hold you like a secret he was almost ready to tell.
And once he had finishedโonce you were tied in a pretty little bow around the wreckage of his heartโ
Heโd cut you off.
But September comes.
And with it: him.
Leaning against the wall outside the Great Hall like heย didnโtย tear you out of his life like a page he didnโt want to reread. Like the summer hadnโt hollowed you out in his absence.
You pause when you see him. He looks up.
You hold his stare like a blade.
He gives you that smileโthe one that means trouble.
โMiss me?โ he says, easy.
You blink once. Slow. โDid you missย yourself?โ
He steps forward. One step.
โI never stopped,โ he says.
You donโt smile. Not yet.
But the storm is coming.
And this time, maybeโฆ youโll be the one who brings the rain.

There were only two kinds of chaos in the Slytherin girlsโ dorm: exam panic and romantic emergencies. Today was the latter.
The Slytherin girls' dorm looked like a tornado of satin, scarves, and sabotage had blown through. Clothes were everywhereโdraped over trunks, tossed on beds, and somehow dangling from the chandelier (you werenโt asking how). A pair of boots had been Transfigured into heels and back again four times. Pansy was rifling through your closet like it owed her money.
"Why do you own so many neutral colors?" she huffed, pulling out a fourth black jumper. "Youโre going on a date, not to a funeral."
"It's not a date," you mumbled, sitting cross-legged on your bed, surrounded by discarded scarves and a growing sense of dread. "It's just Hogsmeade."
"With Mattheo Riddle," Daphne pointed out, perched at the edge of Millicent's trunk like a well-dressed gargoyle. "Who has been in love with you since at least third year, possibly earlier. So yes. Itโs a date."
You buried your face in your hands. โI donโt know how to do this.โ
Millicent casually applied mascara in the mirror. โOh please, donโt act as if you donโt have him wrapped around your finger. Just exist, heโll be floored.โ
โMess with him a bit, you know, flirt a little,โ Pansy added, tossing a green scarf at you. โSmile like you have secrets. Be a mystery. Boys are idiots. You have to make them work for it.โ
โI thought you just said heโs already in love with me?โ
โExactly,โ Pansy grinned. โNow we make him suffer.โ
โOh gosh, okayโฆโย
Pansy hummed, hands on her hips like a fashion dictator. โTurn around. Slowly.โ
You did a spin, awkwardly, holding the hem of your coat. โGirliesโฆ I feel like Iโm going to a Ministry interview.โ
โYou look like the moment,โ Daphne said, flopping backwards onto her bed with a dreamy sigh. โMatty is going to lose all motor function. I give him three minutes before he knocks over a butterbeer.โ
โI give him two,โ Millicent chimed in from the vanity, expertly applying lip gloss. โHe nearly fell off a bench when you said 'good morning' last week.โ
โWait!โ Daphne gasped. โDo the eyeliner thing.โ
โOh my God, do the eyeliner thing,โ Millicent echoed, spinning around dramatically. โThe wing that says โIโm hot but dangerous.โโ
You gave them a look. โI donโt even know if I want to wear eyeliner.โ
โToo bad,โ Pansy declared, already pulling out her wand. โWeโre weaponizing your cheekbones today.โ
While they took turns fluffing your hair and choosing the perfect coat that said โIโm effortlessly beautiful but also cold enough that maybe youโll offer me your scarfโ, you tried to breathe.
โWhat if I say something stupid?โ you muttered. โWhat if I trip? Or spill butterbeer? Or call him a comforting temperature like he did to me?โ
The room howled.
Pansy choked on laughter. โHe really said that. I was there. It was poetic.โ
โHe said it with his whole chest,โ Daphne said, wiping tears of laughter. โLike he meant it deeply.โ
Millicent snorted. โYou are literally fine. You could throw a snowball at his face and heโd still call you the love of his life.โ
โOkay,โ Pansy said, dramatically stepping back to survey you like a painting. โYouโre done. You look radiant. Magical. Vaguely intimidating. Perfect.โ
You looked in the mirror. Maybeโฆ maybe you did look kinda cute.
Daphne smiled. โHeโs going to combust.โ
โAnd if he doesnโt,โ Pansy added sweetly, โwe will.โ
A pause.
โโฆWhat do I even say to him?โ you whispered.
Pansy tossed you your bag. โEasy. Smile, say hi, and then let the power of that coat do the rest.โ
โAnd remember,โ Millicent called as you walked out the door, โif he faintsโyou win.โ
Meanwhile, Mattheo Riddle had never been this nervous in his life.
Heโd fought off cursed creatures. Heโd nearly failed fifth-year Potions. Once, heโd even argued with McGonagall and lived. But this? Waiting for you in the common room?
Absolute psychological warfare.
He was currently standing near the fireplace, shifting his weight from foot to foot like the floor was lava and he hadnโt quite chosen which stone would kill him less.
โI canโt breathe,โ he muttered, adjusting his collar for the twelfth time.
โYouโre literally breathing,โ Blaise said from the sofa, flipping through a Quidditch magazine. โLoudly.โ
โI look like a funeral procession,โ Mattheo groaned, yanking at his black coat.
โYou are a funeral procession,โ Theo replied dryly. โBut make it romantic. Also, you look fine.โ
โYou look like you moisturized,โ Enzo offered helpfully. โThatโs, like, a seven out of ten already.โ
โIโm not trying to look moisturized, Iโm trying to lookโฆ cool. Normal. Like a person who doesnโt black out every time she says my name.โ
โToo late,โ Draco muttered from the armchair, sipping coffee and radiating โwhy am I hereโ energy.
Mattheo collapsed into a chair, groaning into his hands. โIโm going to say something stupid. Again. Like that time I told her she looked warm.โ
โIconic moment in romantic history,โ Theo nodded solemnly. โWe should frame it.โ
โI could justโfake the flu,โ Mattheo muttered. โSay I haveโฆ dragonpox. Or sudden-onset unconsciousness.โ
โSheโs literally getting ready right now,โ Blaise said, not looking up. โAbort the mission and youโll die. We will kill you. Emotionally. And possibly physically.โ
Enzo leaned in, wide-eyed. โWhat if she doesnโt come?โ
Everyone stared at him.
Draco threw a cushion at his head. โYou absolute troll.โ
โListen,โ Theo said, sitting upright now, โwe have prepped for this. We trained for this. Youโve practiced your smileโโ
โI look deranged when I smile,โ Mattheo muttered into his hands.
โโand youโve got talking points,โ Theo continued, ignoring him. โRemember the script: ask how sheโs been, compliment the outfit, donโt stare at her mouth too muchโโ
Mattheo groaned again, slumping deeper into the chair. โWhat if I just never go on dates? Like ever again. Maybe Iโll take a vow of solitude. Move into the forest. Raise squirrels.โ
โYouโve got this, mate,โ Blaise said, finally putting the magazine down. โYouโre Mattheo Riddle. Youโre brooding, mysterious, kinda hot when youโre not self-destructing. She likes you.โ
Draco squinted. โIโd argue despite all of that, not because of.โ
Suddenly, Blaise looked up and grinned. โSheโs coming.โ
Mattheo shot to his feet so fast he knocked over the table. โWHAT?โ
โI said, sheโs coming,โ Blaise repeated, way too casually for someone who had just detonated a bomb.
Mattheo began rapidly checking every pocket for absolutely nothing. โOkay. Okay okay okay. Do I look sweaty? I feel sweaty. I am sweaty.โ
โMattheo,โ Theo said, standing beside him and placing both hands firmly on his shoulders. โPull it together. Be normal. Or at least pretend. Say hi. Breathe. Compliment her. Maybe donโt pass out.โ
โAnd no โwarmโ comments this time,โ Draco added. โSeriously.โ
Just then, the common room door creaked open.
You stepped inside.
Mattheo turned around, caught sight of youโand went completely, terrifyingly, silent.
His jaw moved. No sound came out. His brain had left the building.
You smiled at him gently, tucking a lock of hair behind your ear.
โHi, Mattheo.โ
And thatโs when Mattheoโpoor, cursed boyโwhispered back:
โโฆHi. Youโฆ you look like aโฆ reallyโฆ nice temperature today.โ
Theo audibly slapped his own forehead.
You tilted your head, utterly amused.
โThanksโฆ?โ you replied slowly, trying not to laugh and failing spectacularly. โYou, uhโฆ look like a person who definitely practices casual greetings in the mirror.โ
Mattheo looked mortified.
โDid Blaise tell you that?!โ he gasped.
You raised a brow. โSo itโs true?โ
โNOโ I meanโฆ no comment,โ he mumbled, already red to the tips of his ears.
From behind the nearest bookcase, a small shuffle.
Pansy was crouched next to Daphne and Millicent, all three girls squished together like a pack of gossiping meerkats.
โShe said mirror,โ Pansy hissed. โThatโs a direct hit!โ
โSheโs teasing him!โ Daphne squealed.
โSheโs flirting, you uncultured salamander,โ Pansy corrected.
Millicent shushed them both with a fistful of Bertie Bottโs Beans. โEat and spy. Quietly!โ
Not far away, in the boysโ hallway nook, Theo was pressed to the wall like a spy in a muggle war film.
โWe are so close to Phase Seven: Confident Sidewalk Banter,โ he whispered into his enchanted notepad.
Enzo adjusted the tiny pair of Omnioculars he had definitely stolen from a second-year. โShut up!โ
Draco, from behind a curtain: โThey havenโt even left the room. This is going to take ten years.โ
Back in the main area, Mattheo had finally pulled himself together enough to offer you his hand.
โReady?โ he asked, voice still a little soft around the edges.
You smiled, slipping your fingers into his without hesitation. โLetโs go, temperature boy.โ
Mattheo made a soft wheezing noise that was probably meant to be a laugh. โThatโs gonna stick, isnโt it?โ
โOh, absolutely,โ you teased, giving his hand a squeeze. โYou branded yourself.โ
As the two of you exited the common room, hands still linked, both squads exploded into frenzied celebration.
โTHEYโRE HOLDING HANDS,โ Pansy shrieked into a rolled-up parchment.
Draco sighed loudly from the couch. โIโm surrounded by lunatics.โ
โDo we follow?โ Millicent asked, already stuffing on her boots.
โYes,โ said Pansy. โBut stealthily. Like cool, supportive spies.โ
Daphne nodded solemnly. โLike the morally confused observers we are.โ
Meanwhile, down the corridor, Mattheo and you strolled side-by-side, your steps syncing up naturally.
He glanced over. โYou smellโฆ nice.โ
You blinked at him.
โโฆNot like. Soap,โ he added. โI mean, not just soap. More likeโฆ person. In a good way. Not like a human smell. Justโlikeโฆ flower-person?โ
You were smiling so hard you had to bite your lip to contain it.
โYouโre really bad at compliments,โ you whispered fondly.
โYeah,โ Mattheo groaned. โI know.โ
You nudged him gently with your shoulder. โItโs okay. Itโs charming.
Mattheo turned a deeper shade of crimson.ย
And from fifty feet behind, Pansy ducked into a barrel as Blaise whispered into Theoโs ear:
โTen galleons says he falls on his arse trying to open a door for her.โ
Theo: โDeal.โ
The two of you strolled through the cobbled streets of Hogsmeade, your gloved hands brushing occasionally as Mattheo kept trying to not overthink his walking pace.
You, on the other hand, were playing it cool. Youโd layered your scarf just right, boots clicking softly, your cheeks pink from the chill. You caught him looking at you three times in the span of a minute. He looked away all three times.
โSo,โ you said lightly. โWhatโs the plan? Butterbeer? Wandering until one of us panics and suggests an owl adoption?โ
Mattheo laughed โ a real one this time. โLetโs aim for butterbeer and mild panic. Keep expectations realistic.โ
You ducked your head to hide a smile. He was trying so hard. And honestly? He was doing great.
You both slipped into The Three Broomsticks, the warm scent of cinnamon and roasted nuts immediately wrapping around you. It was busy, but cozy โ couples tucked in booths, students huddled near windows, Madam Rosmerta moving like clockwork behind the bar.
You picked a small table near the fireplace.
And unknown to you both, approximately four tables away, behind a stack of decorative barrels, were the two stealth squads.
Recon Team Alpha: Pansy, Daphne, Millicent.
Camouflaged with floating menus and absolutely zero discretion.
Recon Team Beta: Theo, Blaise, Enzo.
Pretending to be in a very serious conversation about broomstick insurance policies.
โWhat do you think is happening?โ Pansy whispered, barely glancing over her menu and trying to eavesdrop the conversation, although she should barely listen to them.
โTheyโre sitting closer than regulation dating distance,โ Daphne whispered.
Millicent took notes in her planner. โSo theyโre still not holding hands? This guy is mad slowโฆโ
Meanwhile at your table, Mattheo cleared his throat. โSo... this is nice, right? Not too weird?โ
You grinned. โExtremely weird. But in a good way.โ
He grinned back, then glanced down as the butterbeer arrived. โI thought you might want the frothy kind. With cinnamon.โ
You blinked. โYou remembered that?โ
Mattheo shrugged one shoulder, trying to play it off, but his ears were turning pink again. โYou mentioned it once. After class. Thought it was... a cute detail.โ
Your heart might have skipped a beat. Just a small one. You picked up the mug, smiling into the steam.
โYouโre full of surprises.โ
โDonโt tell anyone,โ he muttered. โIโve got a reputation to ruin.โ
Somewhere behind you, Theo whispered, โHeโs doing it. Heโs being normal.โ
Blaise nodded solemnly. โHe even held eye contact for a full seven seconds.โ
โWe trained him well,โ Enzo added, sipping dramatically from a sugar-rimmed glass.
Back at the table, Mattheo gently knocked his boot against yours under the table โ once, then again when you didnโt react.
You raised a brow.
โJust making sure you're real,โ he said casually. โThought maybe I hallucinated you agreeing to this date.โ
You gave him a mock glare. โThis isnโt a hallucination.โ
He smiled crookedly. โThen I must be the luckiest bloke in this freezing village.โ
You stared at him for a moment. โThat was dangerously close to being smooth.โ
โShocking,โ he muttered. โMaybe Blaise slipped something in my tea.โ
You both laughed, the moment stretching in that warm, quiet kind of way where it feels like the rest of the room doesnโt matter.

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐:
Mattheo turns around, unable to hide the goofy smile thatโs spread across his pretty face. His dark curls fall into his eyes as he glances down at you, the mischief in his expression softening into something warmer. The way his hand tightens around yours feels like a silent promiseโsteady and sure, as if heโs anchoring himself to you.
โYouโre ridiculous,โ you mutter, though your own lips are betraying you with the faint curve of a smile.
โRidiculously in love, baby,โ he quips, his grin widening as his thumb absentmindedly brushes over your knuckles.
The two of you continue walking, his laughter bubbling softly in the crisp evening air. The world around you fades, the sounds of distant chatter and rustling leaves blurring into the background. All that matters is the warmth of his hand in yours, the easy joy that spills from his lips, and the way his eyes light up every time he looks at you.
โWhat?โ you finally ask, tilting your head to meet his gaze.
โNothing,โ Mattheo replies, his voice light but sincere. โI just like this. You and me.โ
The simplicity of his words sends a flutter through your chest, and you squeeze his hand back, hoping it says what you canโt quite find the words for yet.
The path twists ahead, lined with skeletal trees swaying gently in the breeze. The glow of the moon casts an eerie silver light over the ground, making the old stones beneath your feet gleam faintly. Mattheo doesnโt falter, his pace steady as he guides you closer to the looming silhouette of the Shrieking Shack in the distance.
โTell me again why weโre doing this?โ you ask, your voice low but teasing, though thereโs a hint of nervousness hidden behind it.
Mattheo smirks, glancing back at you with that familiar mischievous gleam in his eyes. โBecause youโre secretly as much of a troublemaker as I am,โ he says, his tone light, though his thumb still traces calming circles on the back of your hand.
You roll your eyes. โOr maybe because you dared me, and Iโm too stubborn to say no.โ
โSame thing,โ he shoots back, his grin widening. โAdmit it, love, you like a little danger.โ
The Shrieking Shack comes into view now, its crooked frame outlined against the night sky. The windows are dark, the whole structure seeming to exude an unnatural stillness. Despite the chill creeping up your spine, you canโt help but match Mattheoโs excitement, his energy infectious as he slows to a stop in front of the fence that surrounds the infamous house.
โEver been this close before?โ he asks, his voice soft but daring as he peers through the broken slats of wood.
โNo,โ you admit, your fingers tightening around his. โAnd Iโm starting to think that was a good thing.โ
Mattheo chuckles, low and rich, as he steps closer to you, his shoulder brushing yours. โRelax,โ he says, his voice warm and reassuring. โIโd never let anything happen to you. You know that, right?โ
The sincerity in his tone makes your stomach flip, and for a moment, you forget about the dark, foreboding shack looming in front of you. His gaze holds yours, steady and unwavering, and the shadows around you donโt feel quite as ominous anymore.
โAlright,โ you say softly, drawing in a breath. โLetโs do this.
His grin returns, wide and triumphant, as he reaches for the fence. With a quick glance over his shoulder to make sure youโre following, he climbs over with practiced ease before extending a hand to help you over.
As your feet touch the ground on the other side, you hear a faint creak from the house, the sound echoing in the still night. Mattheo looks back at you, a flicker of excitement and curiosity dancing in his eyes.
โAfter you,โ he says with a mock bow, gesturing toward the front door of the Shrieking Shack.
โYouโre impossible,โ you mutter, though you canโt stop the smile that tugs at your lips as you step forward, his hand still firmly holding yours.
Turns out, the whole escapade was Pansyโs doing. The other day, sheโd dared you and Mattheo to spend the night in the Shrieking Shack, her laughter ringing out as she leaned against the Slytherin common room couch. She was so sure youโd pull out at the last minute, claiming there was no way youโd go through with it. Mattheo, of course, jumped at the chance, a smug grin on his face as heโd said, โWeโll see you in the morning, Pans.โ
Now, standing in front of the creaky old shack, you couldnโt help but think about the look on her face when youโd agreed. You werenโt sure what had made you so bold in that momentโmaybe it was the way Mattheo had immediately taken your side, his confidence infectious. Or maybe it was the simple fact that you refused to give Pansy the satisfaction of seeing you back out.
โDo you think she really thought we wouldnโt do it?โ you ask, glancing at Mattheo as he leans casually against the rickety front door.
He smirks, his dark eyes twinkling in the faint moonlight. โOh, she was counting on it. Pansy lives for the drama.โ He reaches out, wrapping his fingers around the rusty doorknob. โBut what she didnโt count on was that youโre wilder than you look.โ
You roll your eyes, but thereโs a flicker of pride in your chest at his words. โAnd you? Whatโs your excuse for agreeing to this ridiculousness?โ
He shrugs, pushing the door open with a groan that seems to echo into the night. โIโm a sucker for a good dare. And,โ he adds, looking over his shoulder at you with a cheeky grin, โI couldnโt let you do this without me. Someoneโs gotta protect you from all the ghosts, right?โ
โGhosts,โ you repeat, raising an eyebrow as you step inside. โYouโre not seriously buying into all the stories, are you?โ
โMaybe.โ His tone is teasing, but thereโs a hint of something playful in his eyes. โWhat if the stories are true? What if weโre not alone in here?โ
โThen itโs your fault weโre doing this,โ you quip, your voice braver than you feel.
The inside of the Shrieking Shack is exactly as you imagined: old, creaky, and covered in layers of dust and cobwebs. The wooden floor groans beneath your feet as you step further inside, and the air smells faintly of mildew. Despite the eerie stillness, Mattheo seems completely at ease, his hand brushing yours as he walks beside you.
โSee? Not so bad,โ he says, his voice breaking the silence. โA little dusty, sure, but cozy.โ
โCozy?โ you repeat with a laugh. โYouโre delusional.โ
โDelusional or charming?โ he asks, throwing you a grin as he drops his bag onto the floor near an old, tattered sofa.
โBoth,โ you mutter, though you canโt help but smile.
The two of you settle in, laying out blankets and snacks that Mattheo had insisted on packing earlier. The night stretches on, and as the hours pass, the initial nerves start to fade, replaced by the easy comfort that always seems to come when Mattheo is around.
- โ ใ
He glances at you, his dark eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight as he leans in closer, his voice low and soft. "Baby, are you not bored? We've been here for hours now, just the two of us..." His gaze drops to your lips for a moment before flicking back up to meet your eyes. "Is this really what you want to be doing on a night out with your boyfriend?"
He reaches out, gently tucking a strand of hair behind your ear, his fingers lingering on your cheek. His touch is warm and gentle, a stark contrast to the chill in the air. "Because if you're not having fun, we can always find something else to do. Something a bit more... exciting." His voice drops to a low, intimate murmur on the last word, a hint of mischief glinting in his eye
โMattyโฆ here? Really?โ You softly giggle, looking at him trough long and heavy eyelashes.
Mattheo leans in closer, his eyes fluttering shut as he closes the distance between you. His lips meet yours in a soft, gentle kiss that sends a spark of electricity through your body. It's a tender kiss, almost reverent in its slow, deliberate exploration of your mouth. His hand slides from the back of your neck to cup your cheek, his calloused fingers a pleasant contrast to the smooth skin of your face.
As the kiss deepens, Mattheo's other arm wraps around your waist, pulling you flush against him. You can feel the firmness of his chest, the way his heart beats steadily beneath his ribs. His fingers tangle in your hair, tilting your head back slightly as he explores your mouth with a growing hunger.
When he finally pulls back, breaking the kiss, his eyes slowly open to meet yours. His thumb brushes over your lower lip, a gentle caress that makes your breath catch in your throat. His thumb making its way to the inside of your mouth as you suck on it.
Not for long though, as he pulls it back, straight into his own warm mouth.
He slides his hands under the hem of your shirt, his fingertips skimming over the smooth skin of your lower back. He pulls you flush against him, the heat of his body seeping into yours as his hands begin to explore the curves of your waist and the gentle flare of your hips.
He breaks the kiss, panting softly as he looks down at you with hooded eyes, a fierce intensity burning in their depths. "Can I... can I take this off?" he asks, his voice low and rough with desire. His fingers tremble slightly as he waits for your permission, the anticipation almost too much to bear.
Without waiting for your answer, he starts to slowly peel your shirt up and over your head. The cool air kisses your newly exposed skin, making you shiver. Mattheo's eyes darken as he takes in the sight of you, his gaze roaming over your body with a hunger that makes your heart race.
"Fuck, doll," he breathes out, his voice filled with awe and longing. "You're so fucking fit. You see these?" He cups the soft mounds of your breasts, his thumbs teasing over the hardened peaks of your nipples through the thin fabric of your bra. He looks up at you, his dark eyes smoldering with desire as he leans down, his mouth hovering just above the swell of your breasts. โThese are mine babyโฆ all mine.โ
Without warning, he tugs the cup of your bra down, exposing your nipple to the cool air. His eyes flick up to yours, a wicked glint in their depths, before he leans in and takes your nipple into his hot mouth. He suckles gently at first, his tongue swirling around the sensitive bud, before growing bolder, sucking harder as his hand kneads the soft flesh of your breast.
A low, breathy moan escapes your lips, your fingers tangling in his dark curls as he lavishes attention on your breasts. The combination of his hot mouth and the scrape of his teeth against your sensitive skin sends jolts of pleasure coursing through your body, making your core throb with a needy ache.
Mattheo's other hand slides down your stomach, his fingers dipping teasingly beneath the waistband of your jeans. His touch is maddeningly light, not quite touching where you need him most, but close enough to make you squirm with anticipation. "Mattheo," you gasp out, your voice thick with desire. "Please..." You're not even sure what you're begging for, but the way he's touching you, tasting you, has set your body on fire, and you need more.
"Fuck, so perfect for me, huh?," He growls, his voice low and rough with desire. "I could spend hours worshipping these perfect tits, worshipping your beautiful body, face, heartโฆ. You drive me insane."
His hand slides further down, cupping your mound through your jeans, applying a teasing pressure that makes you gasp. He chuckles darkly, a sound that vibrates through your chest. "Is this what you want, baby? You want me to touch this pretty little pussy until you're shaking and aching for me?"
He starts to slowly rub your clothed sex, his fingers moving in maddeningly slow circles. The denim of your jeans grows damp as your arousal builds, your hips starting to rock subtly against his hand. "Oh, look at you, my princess is so, so, so needy for me."
Mattheo leans down to capture your lips in a filthy kiss, his tongue plundering your mouth as he grinds the heel of his hand against your clothed clit. He swallows your moan, his voice a low rasp against your lips. "Tell me how badly you want it, gorgeous. Tell me how much you need my fingers buried deep in your tight little cunt, fucking you silly until the only thing youโre thinking about is how good your Matty takes care of you."
His other hand kneads your breast roughly, pinching and rolling your nipples between his fingers as he breaks the kiss to growl in your ear. "Beg for it, baby. Beg for my fingers, for my dick. Let me hear how desperate you are for me to fill you up and make you come all over me."
โPlease babyโฆโ Your voice merely a whisper, your tone laced with embarrassing neediness, โWant to feel good, need to feel good.โ You keep begging. โWant to feel your fingers filling me up so badly, keeping me warm, until I cream messy and my pussy is stretched enough for you big cock.โ You let a small whimper.
Mattheo's eyes darken with lust as he watches you, a smirk playing on his lips. "Merlinโs beard, babe, I love it when you say shit like that," he growls, quickly pulling his shirt over his head and tossing it aside. His chest is lean and toned, a light sheen of sweat glistening on his skin in the flickering candlelight. The sight makes you legs turn into jelly, unable to take your gaze off him.
Heโs justโฆ so fucking hot.
He leans down, capturing your lips in a searing kiss as his hands make quick work of your jeans, practically tearing them off your body in his haste. He breaks the kiss to look down at you, his gaze hungry as he takes in the sight of you laid out beneath him, clad in nothing but your soaked panties.
"Look at you, spread out like a fucking feast," he rasps, his fingers hooking into the waistband of your panties. He tugs on them making you exhale heavily, your pussy clenching to the fabric, to then drag them down slowly, his knuckles brushing against your sensitive skin, your arousal coating his fingers. "I knew you'd be dripping for me, baby. Fucking soaked and ready."
He tosses your panties aside and settles between your thighs, his breath hot against your dripping sex. He looks up at you, a wicked grin on his face."I'm going to make you feel so fucking good, doll. I'm going to eat you out until you become so fucking desperate,โ He laughs, โsuch a perfect pocket pussy.โ
He finally lowers his head, blowing air towards your heat and drags the flat of his tongue along your slit, a low groan rumbling in his chest at your taste. His hands grip your thighs, spreading you wider, as he starts to make out with your warm and moist lips. Eating you out like a starving man, his tongue delving between your folds to lap at your dripping essence.
Youโll never get tired of the feeling of Mattheoโs tongue in your body. โOh, shitโฆ mmhm.โ You start to feel dizzy, the overwhelming sensation of pleasure too much to cope with, making you close your eyes.
Mattheo groans against your sex as he feels your body trembling beneath him, your fingers tangling in his hair as you hold him close. He can feel your arousal coating his chin, your juices dripping down onto the blankets below. The taste of you is intoxicating, and he can't get enough.
He starts to suckle on your clit, his lips wrapping around the sensitive bundle of nerves as he teases it with the tip of his tongue. At the same time, he slides a long, manly finger deep inside your tight heat, curling it just so to stroke that spot that makes your toes curl and your back arch off the floor.
"Fuck, you're so tight," he murmurs, his voice vibrating against your sex as he starts to pump his finger in and out, matching the rhythm of his tongue on your pussy. He adds a second finger, stretching you wider, filling you up just the way you need.
His other hand slides up your body, cupping your breast, kneading the soft flesh as he pinches and rolls your nipple between his fingers. He's touching you everywhere, stoking the fire building low in your belly, pushing you closer and closer to the edge.
"That's it, baby. Fucking coat my fingers," he growls, his eyes never leaving yours.
The vibrations from his mumbles and growls shake your body, building up such an addicting feeling at the centre of your stomach, your insides knotting together in pleasure just waiting to be undone. โOh my God, Mattyโฆ you-youโre so good to me, bloody hell.โ
His fingers shiny with your arousal as he pounds them into you, his tongue flicking rapidly over your folds. "I canโt wait to feel this pretty cunt squeezing the fuck out of my cock when I slide inside you. I want you all over me. Fucking drench me in it."
He curls his fingers just right, rubbing that spot that makes stars explode behind your eyelids as he suckles hard on your clit. Addicted to the way your body shakes and trembles as he pushes you over the edge.
โOh shit! Fuck! Iโm-Iโm close babyโฆโ
Mattheo can feel your body tensing, your inner walls starting to flutter around his plunging fingers as your climax approaches. He doubles his efforts, fucking you harder with his firm digits as he messily slurps and spits in your clit, spurred on by your desperate moans and the way your body writhes beneath him.
He looks up at you, his eyes dark and intense as he growls, "Come on then, baby.โ He lovingly urges, โCome all over my fucking face. I want to taste your cum, want to feel it coating my mouth, want you inside of me."
He continues pumping in an unbelievable force, fingers curling and twisting inside you, stroking that spot that makes your vision go white. At the same time, he closes his lips around your clit and sucks hard, his teeth carefully tugging the sensitive bud as he teases out your climax.
He can feel your body starting to shake, your thighs clamping around his head as your orgasm crashes over you. He doesn't let up, continuing to stroke and suck, drawing out your pleasure until you're a writhing, moaning mess beneath him.
"Fuck yes, just like thatโฆ" he demands, his voice rough and ragged. "Let me hear how fucking good it feels, baby. Let those pretty sounds escape,โ You can only moan louder, whine louder, barely able to pronounce words. โYeah, thatโs it, good girlโฆ oh! Thats it, thatโs itโฆ so fucking preciousโ He chuckles, the sound so rich and full, turning you even more horny.
He keeps praising you, his movements impossibly harder, faster, deeper, fucking you through your climax as he pushes you to new heights of ecstasy. Your body convulses, your head thrashing on the blanket as the waves of pleasure consume you, leaving you gasping and shaking in the aftermath.
Mattheo finally pulls back, his face glistening with your climax as he looks up at you with a wicked grin. "Fuck, that was so hot," he rasps, his voice low and filled with desire. "You came so fucking hard, baby. I could feel you squeezing the life out of my fingers, fucking messy bitch.โฆ My messy, filthy play bunny, am I right?"
He crawls up your body, his hard cock pressing against your thigh as he leans down to capture your lips in a searing kiss, letting you taste yourself on his tongue. "I'm going to fuck you now, baby. Can I fuck you?โ He asks between sloppy and wet kisses โI'm going to slide my big, hard cock deep inside this tight little cunt, fuckโ
You can only nod and whimper in pleasure, still high form the orgasm, but you crave more, you crave Mattheo in ways that are unhealthy obsessive. Not to worry though, because just as he has you wrapped around his finger, he is simply the same, kissing the floor you walk on, a heavy need in his chest to show you how much you mean to him.
He only smirks at your needy whimper, his ego boosted by the way you're still trembling with the aftershocks of your intense orgasm. He can see the desperation in your eyes, the hunger for more, and it spurs on his own desire.
He reaches down, his pants long gone, wrapping a hand around his hard, throbbing cock and giving it a few slow pumps. It's hot and heavy in his hand, the pretty pink tip already leaking with big pearls of need. He rubs the head through your dripping folds, coating himself in your arousal, letting out a low groan at the feeling of your slick heat. The filthy scene making his mind fuzzy.
"Fuck, you're still so tight," he grunts, his voice strained with the effort of holding back. He lines himself up with your entrance, the thick glistening head nudging against your opening. "I don't know if I can be gentle, baby. I want to fucking ruin you, want to make it so you can't fucking walk for days."
With that, he starts to push forward, his rock hard dick slowly sinking into your tight heat. He has to pause, his breath coming out in harsh pants as he fights the urge to just slam forward and bury himself to the hilt. He looks down at you, his eyes dark and intense, a bead of sweat dripping down his brow.
"Breathe, darling," he commands, his voice low and rough. "Breathe and relax, baby. Let me in, let me fucking warm you up."
He starts to push forward again, his pulsing shaft sinking deeper into your tight channel with each slow, steady thrust.
He's stretching you, filling you, the sensation of being so utterly complete by him that makes your eyes roll back in your head.
Mattheo leans down, capturing your lips in a hot kiss as he finally bottoms out, his hips pressing flush against yours. He groans into your mouth, his tongue plundering as he starts to move, pulling out slowly before slamming back in, setting a hard and fast pace.
He fucks into you with wild abandon, his hips slapping against yours with each powerful thrust. He's lost in a haze of lust, consumed by the feeling of your tight pussy gripping his cock like a vice.
"Take it, take it, fucking take it!" he snarls, his fingers digging into the flesh of your hips as he pounds into you. The floor creaks and shakes beneath you, slamming you against it with each thrust of his hips. "This is what you fucking wanted, isn't it? To be fucked into stupidity by my big, hard dick?"
He leans down, capturing your sensitive nipple between his teeth and biting down just shy of pain. His other hand slides between your bodies, finding your clit and rubbing it in hard, fast circles.
As you savour the overstimulation, Mattheo flips you over onto your hands and knees, your plump ass pointing up in the air. He takes a moment to admire the view, his eyes darkening with lust as he grips your ass cheeks roughly, kneading the soft flesh. "Fuck, this ass is perfect," he growls, giving your ass a sharp smack that makes you gasp. "Just for meโฆ to be grabbed, spanked, fucked hard and raw."
He lines himself up with your dripping entrance, the thick head of his cock nudging against your swollen, sensitive folds. Mattheo leans over you, his chest pressing against your back as he grinds slowly against you, you juices mixing with his, the noises from the friction too lewd, too dirty, too fucking hot.
"I'm going to fuck this ass one day," he whispers hotly against your ear, his voice low and filthy. "Gonna shove my cock in this tight little asshole and make you scream for me. Bet it's never been fucked before, has it? Never had such a big, thick cock stretching it wide open?"
He doesnโt let you answer as he starts to push forward, the head of his veiny member popping inside your entrance with a loud squelch. He pauses, letting you feel the thick intrusion stretching you open as he reaches around to rub your clit in hard, fast circles.
"Push back, baby. Push this hot ass back on my cock and take it deep," he demands, his hips starting to move in shallow thrusts, working more and more of his thick length inside your tight heat. "Gonna fuck this cunt so hard, baby. Pound this pussy until you're fucking screaming, until the whole fucking school knows what a dirty girl you are for me."
Mattheo keeps one hand on your hip, gripping you tightly as he starts to pick up the pace, slamming into you with deep, powerful thrusts. The other hand stays on your clit, rubbing and stroking the sensitive nub as he fucks you harder and faster, his heavy balls slapping obscenely against your insides with each thrust.
"Yes, yes, fuck, fuuuck baby girlโฆ" he snarls, holding into your ass with wild abandon."Take my fucking cock, you bitch. Milk it with this greedy cunt, fucking choke on my dick as I ruin this gorgeous pussy!"
Mattheo pounds into you with inhuman fervor, his hips moving in a blur as he chases their explosive release. The room fills with the carnal symphony of flesh slapping against flesh, your irresistible moans, and Mattheo's guttural, feral grunts echoing off the walls.
He leans over you, his sweat-slicked skin sticking to your back as he snakes a hand around to maul your bouncing breasts, pinching and tugging at your stiff nipples. His other hand flies back over your clenching, almost hurting clit, rubbing the sensitive bud in tight, frantic circles, pushing you ruthlessly towards the edge of literal oblivion.
"That's it, baby, shit! You make me feel so good. You know that? Ughhโฆ !" Mattheo moans, his voice a primal, animalistic sound that sends shivers down your spine.
Your body starts to seize, back arching sharply as a mind-shattering orgasm crashes through you like a tidal wave. Your pussy clamps down on his pistoning cock like a velvet vice, rippling and fluttering wildly around his thick shaft as you come undone.
"FUCK, YES!" Mattheo bellows, slamming into you one last time as your climax triggers his own. His large shaft throbs and pulses, swelling even thicker inside your spasming walls before erupting like a volcano.
Scorching ropes of thick cum erupt from his cock, painting your insides white as he floods your womb with his seed. It feels like he's cumming for an eternity, his potent release seeming to go on and on as he grinds into you, pushing his come deeper with each twitch and jerk of his hips.
Your mind goes blank, your vision whiting out as pleasure more intense than you've ever known consumes you. You convulse and thrash beneath him, your body wracked with sensation, overwhelmed by the sheer ecstasy of your shared climax.
Mattheo collapses against your back, his body blanketing yours as he trembles and shudders above you. He pants harshly, his breath coming out in ragged bursts against your neck as he slowly comes down from his release.
With a soft grunt, he carefully rolls off of you, pulling you with him so that you're both lying on your sides, facing each other. He drapes a strong arm around your waist, tucking you close to his chest as he studies your face with a furrowed brow.
"Are you okay, baby?" he murmurs, his voice now low and gentle in contrast to the primal, lust-filled growls from before. His fingers come up to brush a sweat-dampened strand of hair out of your face, his touch sweet and tender.
"My beautiful babyโฆ you're shaking... did-did I hurt you?"
Mattheo's thumb skims along your cheekbone, tilting your chin up so that you're forced to meet his gaze. There's a flicker of concern in his dark eyes, a hint of guilt as he takes in your flushed skin and the way your limbs feel heavy and weak.
You shake your head to dismiss his concerns, too tired to physically answer him.
"Fuck, I got a bit carried away there," he admits with a grimace, his arm tightening around your waist as if to keep you safe and close. "I didn't mean to be so rough, gorgeous. I know I was fucking hard, but you just... you felt so fucking good, I couldn't control myself."
He leans in, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to your forehead before trailing his lips down to press a passionate kiss to your lips. It's different from the hungry, desperate kisses from before - this one is slow, sensual, almost reverent.
"Let me take care of you," Mattheo whispers against your lips, his voice low and soothing. "Letโs go back to the castle so I can run you a bath, yes?." The bet long forgotten.
He starts to sit up, keeping you cradled in his arms as he sits.
He rummages through his bag, taking out his wand, and with a swift movement, you both aparate to his private dorm.
Mattheo leans down to press another kiss to your pouty lips, his hot breath lingering on your skin. โI love you like no other baby,โ He mutters sleepily, the intense sex, catching up to him.

[!] ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ช๐ช๐๐ฏ๐ถ: Mattheo is now emotionally unwell and possibly hiding in a broom cupboard.
You, meanwhile, are thriving.

๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ซ: ๐๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ถ ๐๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ซ ๐๐ฌ๐ณ๐ข: A Case Study in Emotional Chaos
You were walking toward the library when Theo caught your arm with all the subtlety of a Howler in the Great Hall.
โHey,โ he whispered with a conspiratorial grin, glancing around like he was about to pass you a top-secret Ministry file. โJustโฆ be cool. Okay? Somethingโs coming.โ
You blinked. โWhat?โ
He patted your shoulder. โGood luck,โ he said solemnly, and then disappeared down a corridor like a man who had done something irreversible and didnโt want to be around for the aftermath.
Which is exactly when Mattheo appeared.
He was walking toward you with the energy of someone whoโd been dared to do this under threat of public humiliation. He looked like he might be sweating. A little.
โHi,โ he said, trying very hard to sound normal and failing spectacularly. โUh. Iโthis is for you.โ
He handed you a folded note like it was cursed. His hand hovered for a second too long, and then he shoved both into his pockets and took three full steps back, like you might explode.
You eyed him. โWhat is it?โ
โNothing,โ he said too fast. โI mean, not nothing. Itโsโฆ words. It hasโฆ words.โ
You opened it. He looked away like he couldnโt bear to witness what he had just done.
You began to read, smiling as your eyes scanned the first few lines. And thenโ
โMattheo is totally into you. In case you didnโt notice. Or, y'know, maybe you did, because he looks like a deer caught in the headlights every time you talk to him.โ
Mattheoโs head snapped around so fast you thought he might sprain something.
โWAITโare you reading it out loud?!โ
You kept going, undeterred.
โFROM THEO (aka Chief Strategist & CEO of Operation Matty Falls in Loveโข): I have tried everything short of slipping Veritaserum in his teaโโ
โOh my god,โ Mattheo muttered, burying his face in his hands. โIโm going to crawl into a hole and stay there until Iโm thirty.โ
โHeโs a walking, brooding poem of longing. Itโs exhausting.โ
He let out a strangled sound. โThatโs not even accurate! I donโtโbroodโokay, I do, but not like a poemโโ
You were laughing now, full-on laughing.
โHi, beautiful,โ you read in Blaiseโs voice, with a smirk. โQuick check-in: have you noticed the way he stares at you like you're the only thing keeping his soul tethered to this mortal plane?โ
Mattheo made a noise like a dying animal.
โHe told me I looked โwarmโ the other dayโโ
โOKAY,โ he blurted, snatching the letter from your hands in a panic, eyes wide and red-eared. โIโm officially confiscating this. You werenโt meant to read it like thatโthey told me it was subtle! Like a nudge!โ
You were still grinning. โYou practice saying hi in the mirror?โ
He turned around, mid-flee, and groaned into the air. โI hate all of them.โ
โAnd you faint when I smile?โ
โI black out at best.โ
You giggled again, stepping forward. โHey, Mattheo?โ
He turned, suspicious, still flushed and mortified. โโฆYeah?โ
You smiled softly. โYouโre doing amazing, sweetie.โ
He groaned, crouched to the floor, and dropped his forehead into his hands. โI will never recover from this.โ
From around the corner, a muffled โYES!โ echoed, followed by Theo yelling, โPHASE SIX COMPLETE!โ
Dracoโs voice: โThat wasnโt Phase Six. Phase Six was โhe confesses in a normal, non-pathetic way.โโ
Blaise: โLet him have this. He didn't die.โ
Mattheo just looked up at you again, blinking.
โโฆWanna go to Hogsmeade with me?โ he said weakly.
You smiled. โYeah, Matty. I do.โ
He looked like someone had just handed him the last biscuit in the tin and told him it was all his. And somehow, even through the horror, he grinned.
