The common room buzzed with the quiet murmur of students finishing their homework, but there was a tense silence in the corner where you stood with Pansy. The truth was about to come to light.
For the past few days, Pansy had been helping you uncover the truth. You knew something was off. Pansy had been your ally, and together, you had finally pieced together the evidence: Mattheo had been seeing someone else. Someone named Lotte.
Pansy turned to Mattheo, her voice cutting through the tension. "What does it feel like?" she asked, her gaze locked on him, a faint smirk playing on her lips.
Mattheo, caught off guard, furrowed his brows. "What does what feel like?" he asked, genuinely perplexed.
Pansy’s smirk deepened, the words slipping from her lips like venom. "To lose?" she asked simply, and the weight of those words hit him like a cold gust of wind.
Before he could respond, you stepped forward. Your eyes locked with his, and for the first time, he looked at you not with the usual confidence, but with something closer to fear. You stood inches apart now, close enough to feel his breath, the space between you charged with unspoken tension.
"Now, isn’t this interesting?" you said. "With you and Lotte?" The words hung in the air like a curse, and the truth hit Mattheo like a slap across the face. His expression faltered, and his eyes widened in shock. It was clear now—he hadn't expected you to find out, let alone confront him so directly.
Pansy, watching the scene unfold, couldn’t suppress her smirk. "Well, well, looks like you’ve been caught, Mattheo."
Just then, Draco, who had been lounging nearby, stood up, his voice dripping with disbelief. "Dude, are you serious?" he exclaimed, staring at Mattheo like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. "Lotte? Really?"
Mattheo opened his mouth to speak, but the words caught in his throat. Enzo, who had been quietly observing from the side, couldn’t help but smirk to himself. Now, seeing the chaos unfold, he thought to himself with a smirk... Now it’s my turn.
