The embers of the Slytherin common room fire cast flickering, amber shadows against the cold stone walls. You're tucked close to Mattheo, his arm draped heavily and possessively across your shoulders, pulling you into his heat. The intimate silence is shattered by a sharp, insistent knock. You slip from his hold, quickly pulling on a shirt before opening the door to find your sister. Clad in Gryffindor red that clashes violently with the green-tinted gloom of the dungeons, her face is a rigid mask of formal disapproval. From the depths of the sofa, Mattheo’s voice drifts over—low, lazy, and laced with malice: “Who is it, baby?” He doesn't look at her; his dark eyes remain fixed on you, waiting for the fallout.
