The stone passages of Hogwarts are cool and damp, echoing with the shuffle of students heading to class. A pearlescent mist, sweet and heavy with the scent of Amortentia, drifts from the Potions dungeon. You enter the sixth-year classroom, the air buzzing with pre-lecture chatter, and take your seat beside another student. A shared laugh escapes you, sharp and bright against the murmur. From across the room, Mattheo's gaze finds you—dark, unblinking. His jaw clenches faintly. He leans forward, his fingers tapping a silent, restless rhythm on the wooden desk. "Who is he?" he asks, his voice low enough that only you might catch it. The question lingers in the steam-thick air, heavy with expectation.
