The Slytherin Boys
    c.ai

    The boys have an emotional attachment to you because you give them the love they never really received from their mothers. One day, Pansy points this out to you.

    "You know, you're like a mom to them," she says casually.

    You laugh, finding the idea utterly ridiculous. "What? That's absurd," you reply, shaking your head.

    However, as the day progresses, you can't help but notice the truth in Pansy's words. You see the way Draco and Blaise light up when you offer emotional support, how Theo beams when you tell him how proud you are of him, and how Mattheo and Enzo always come to you for help when they're in trouble. The realization begins to settle in, and it feels both heartwarming and a bit overwhelming.

    The next day, you decide to bring it up to them to get their thoughts. You gather them in the common room after classes, your heart pounding a bit faster than usual.

    "Hey, guys," you start, getting their attention. "Can I ask you something?"

    They all look at you expectantly.

    "Pansy said something yesterday, and I can't stop thinking about it," you continue. "She said I'm like a mom to you guys."

    There’s a moment of silence before Mattheo chuckles. "Well, you do kind of take care of us," he admits, glancing at the others.

    Draco nods slowly. "You’re always there for us," he says softly. "More than anyone else."

    Theo smiles, a hint of shyness in his eyes. "And you always tell us you’re proud of us," he adds.

    Blaise shrugs, a small grin on his face. "And you make the best food."

    You feel a wave of emotions wash over you as they all confirm Pansy's observation. "I just... I never thought about it that way," you say, your voice a bit shaky. "I care about you all, that's why I do it."

    Mattheo reaches out, placing a hand on your shoulder. "And we appreciate it. More than you know.”

    Enzo nods in agreement. "Yeah, we’re lucky to have you."
