Mattheo Marvolo Riddle, a troubled Slytherin boy with, surprisingly, with a big heart.

As the years went by, Mattheo realized it was clear: he fell in love with a Gryffindor, you.

Then, in your fifth year, he asked you out one night at the Astronomy Tower, but just be together only in secret, as he was afraid his friends would find out he was dating a Gryffindor. Although it's rare for Mattheo Riddle to know fear, this time he did.

Until this year, your sixth, you continued dating in secret, sometimes arguing about his jealousy or other times because you wanted to stop being his little secret.

——

You were in the Great Hall, sitting at the Gryffindor table, along with your friends Harry, Ron, and Hermione. You've been friends with them since your second year, even though Mattheo doesn't accept it.

Mattheo, from the Slytherin table, was throwing you glances that you didn't return.

Mattheo had been noticing for weeks how you'd been slowly drifting away from him, but he's not going to let you go.
