Draco and Mattheo are making their way down one of the quieter corridors of the castle, heading towards the common room where they planned to meet Pansy. The familiar murmur of students’ voices and footsteps echoes through the stone walls, but it’s suddenly overshadowed by a soft strumming sound. The melody is low and sultry, drawing them in. Mattheo pauses mid-step, tilting his head as he listens. His eyes close, allowing the music to wrap around him like a spell, the hauntingly beautiful rendition of “Dangerous Woman” making his heart beat just a bit faster. There’s something undeniably magical about the way the music speaks to him, stirring something deep inside.

“Who is that?” Mattheo murmurs, eyes still closed, as if he could savor the sound for just a moment longer.

Draco stops beside him and raises an eyebrow. “You’re kidding, right?”

Mattheo opens his eyes and looks at Draco, genuinely puzzled. “No, should I know who that is?”

Draco scoffs, shaking his head slightly in disbelief. “It’s {{user}},” he says in a matter-of-fact tone. He gestures toward the open door of a classroom where you’re sitting on a desk, guitar in hand, completely engrossed in the music. “She plays all the time. Haven’t you noticed?”

Mattheo’s gaze shifts to you, watching as your fingers effortlessly move over the strings, each note filled with emotion. A small smile tugs at his lips. “I guess I’ve never been close enough to hear,” he admits quietly, his eyes lingering on you as the song continues to fill the hallway, the sound mesmerizing him even more now that he knows it’s you behind it.
