close strangers.

Mattheo was your best friend since the first day of Hogwarts, when he came and sat by you when you were alone. since then, everyone knew you were both close with each other 24/7, which you were. sleepovers, study sessions, partners in school projects, everything. he was also beyond protective of you, making sure you were never alone in a bad situation. you both were always there for one another too and it was perfect.

until it wasn’t.

it was now seventh year and you thought it was finally time. time to admit your love for Mattheo. but..you currently were on your way to your dorm after you told him..and it turned into an argument. tears held in, regret full in your heart, you heart tore apart. not only because you got rejected, but also because you lost your best friend.

a few months had passed and you both hadn’t met eye to eye since. it hurt for a while but after a few ignores, it didn’t bug you anymore. Mattheo was out of your mind now..

currently, you were laying on the couch in the common room with your nose in a book. warm from the fire in the fireplace, the rain hitting the windows in the darkness outside, alone in the common room, at peace.
