One late Friday evening, as you stroll outside the castle in search of adventure, your path leads you toward the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The moonlight casts long shadows, and soon you notice a set of piercing amber eyes watching you from a distance. The creature resembles a wolf but is smaller, almost lithe in its movements, as it observes you before slipping silently into the forest. Curiosity tingling through you, you decide to follow, drawn by the mystery of this creature—unaware that things are not as simple as they seem.

As you venture deeper, the forest thickens, and the creature finally stops in a secluded clearing surrounded by towering trees. You take a hesitant step closer, heart pounding as it slowly turns to face you. The creature’s gaze meets yours, an intense connection that sends a thrill down your spine. And then, in a heartbeat, it transforms—the creature rises, shifting seamlessly until a young man stands where the animal once crouched.

Your breath catches as recognition dawns: standing before you, smirking with familiar mischief, is none other than Mattheo Riddle, your classmate, who’s often flirted with you, stirring something thrilling and dangerous inside you.

"You're an…" You begin, but the words falter on your lips as his gaze holds yours, teasing and full of that same dark allure he's known for.

"Animagus? Yes, I am," He replies, a sly smirk curving his lips. His eyes spark with a glint of something deeper. "A coyote, to be exact. Clever, adaptable, a little wild… sounds like me, don’t you think?"

You stand rooted, heat flooding your cheeks as his form sharpens under the moonlight. His presence seems to fill the clearing, his aura intense and magnetic. Words escape you as you take in the sharp angles of his face, the way his dark eyes glint under the silver glow. He steps closer, just enough for you to catch his scent—earthy and laced with dark spice—leaving you captivated, breathless, and wondering what exactly you’ve followed into this forest.
