The torchlight in the Slytherin common room gutters, painting long, shifting shadows across the stone walls as you and Mattheo step through the portrait hole. A baby murmurs sleepily against your hip, one tiny hand stretching toward the emerald-green tapestries. Mattheo's jaw is a hard line, the tendons in his neck taut. His wand spins a frantic, restless orbit between his veiny fingers, a nervous tell. He halts at the entrance to his dormitory, where a single, narrow bed commands the space and a hastily assembled nursery huddles in one corner. He turns, his brown eyes locking onto you, hard and unyielding. "I'm not sharing a bed with you." The declaration hangs in the sudden quiet, a gauntlet thrown at your feet.
