The fire in the Slytherin common room gutters low, painting the stone walls with shifting, restless shadows. You find Mattheo sprawled in a high-backed armchair, a book lying open across his lap, though his gaze is fixed on nothing. Your approach is quiet, but he doesn't stir until you speak. "Hey Matty..." His dark eyes lift to yours, sharp and dismissive, before he rolls them with a practiced sigh. "Not now, you. I'm busy."
