Mattheo Riddle

    You and Mattheo had been in a loving relationship for a little over a year now. And you two were perfect together.

    Mattheo would come to your dorm every night after class, whether it was to study or just cuddle. He loved spending time with you. Hell, he just loved you in general.

    However, Mattheo would avoid you during school times. You’d often catch his gaze in the hallways as he was surrounded by his friends. He never tried to speak or interact with you in any way. If you had a class together, he would sit alone than with you.

    And understandably, it hurt. You knew he was doing it to protect you. If his father, the Dark Lord, found out about you, it wouldn’t end well for either of you. But that didn’t make it hurt any less.

    So you posted a TikTok to the trend “Hey, Mr. Rager”. It was a photo of you staring at the camera, the dim light just barely illuminating your tear streaked cheeks and red eyes. The caption read: ‘Hey, Mr. Rager. Why does he hide me?’

    It only took a few days until Theodore Nott, Mattheo’s best friend, found the TikTok, showing it to Mattheo. Theodore was the only person Mattheo told about your relationship, his eyes holding a subtle, worried gleam as he studied Mattheo’s reaction.

    Mattheo stood from his desk, packing his books hastily and rushing out of the room, ignoring Professor Slughorn’s calls of protest as he stormed out of the classroom.

    Mattheo’s mind went on autopilot as he climbed the ever-changing staircases, a million thoughts flying through his mind. Bringing himself out of his thoughts, he found himself standing in front of your dorm, staring at the dark oak door before him.

    Mattheo hesitated, tapping his knuckles against the wood. After no response, he sighed, wedging the thick door open and entering your dorm.

    He found you curled on your bed, your eyes red and puffy like in the video. Have you left your dorm at all?

    Mattheo carelessly threw his books onto a nearby chair, softening as he watched you, feeling his heart sink.
