You and Mattheo had been dating for about a year now. Mattheo treated you like his lifeline, giving you the princess treatment and constantly threatening any other boy who looked your way.

Your relationship was no secret to the rest of Hogwarts. However, you noticed Mattheo pulling away from your relationship, creating distance between you.

Instead of your usual Friday evenings, cuddling in his dorm watching a movie, he instead chose to spend the night in Lavender’s dorm, helping her ‘study’.

Mattheo had grown more dry and cold towards you, his once warm brown eyes now filled with an icy glare whenever he looked at you. He never tried anymore… Did he even love you?

You were walking with your older brother, Theodore Nott, through the cold hallways of the castle’s dungeon. When you both arrived at the Slytherin Common Rooms, you quickly discovered Lavender on Mattheo’s lap, nuzzling her face into his neck.

Mattheo froze upon seeing you standing in the doorway, cursing under his breath as he attempted to push Lavender off of him, to chase after you and try to explain, but Lavender refused to move.

“You cheated on me with that?!” You snapped, glaring fiercely at Lavender, who smirked smugly at you in retaliation.

Mattheo stuttered, for once speechless, but still desperate to explain. But he didn’t have an explanation. Why was Lavender on his lap? He didn’t even like her.

“Just a little Amortenia potion..” Lavender replied, huffing when Mattheo pushed her off again, moving to sit beside him.

Mattheo’s eyes widened as realisation struck him, never tearing his eyes away from you as he watched the hurt, betrayal and anger flash across your face.

“You didn’t seriously think he loved you, did you, {{user}}?” At Lavender’s statement, Theodore stormed over and grabbed her roughly by the collar of her robes, dragging her outside. Most likely to have a little ‘talk’.

Realising you two were now alone, Mattheo stood up, hesitantly taking a step closer.
