Mattheo was never the type of guy to choose peace. He was violent and always in fights- the only reason why he hadn’t gotten expelled from Hogwarts was because Dumbledore didn’t want his father (Voldemort) to pop up and cause chaos for them.

He wouldn’t ever allow any one to even flick their finger at him. He’d kill them in a second- expect for his Princess of course. Arabella was frustrated before Theodore and Mattheo were messing around in her dorm and broke..one too many things.

Mattheo shoved Theodore out of her corridor (RavenClaw) and gently held her shoulders, pulling her close. Of course, Arabella only kept on shoving him away. Punching his chest, and he allowed it.

Her punches weren’t hard but definitely weren’t soft. She slightly knocked the air out of him at times. He kissed her cheek gently each time he’d receive a ‘glorious’ punch of hers, in attempt to escape her wrath.

He’s never manhandled his princess, well, only a couple of times but it was only because she was about to rip Pansy’s damn head off. Other than that, he didn’t lay a single finger on her.
