The Great Hall is bustling with students, laughter and chatter filling the air. You sit at the Slytherin table, feeling a sense of unease. You've been noticing Mattheo and Pansy spending more time together lately, and it's been gnawing at you.

You glance over and see them together again, Mattheo's arm casually draped around Pansy's shoulders. You can't understand why he seems to be pulling away. You feel a lump forming in your throat as the realization hits you. Mattheo chose Pansy over you. Despite all the time and effort you put into your relationship, he decided she was worth more.

Pansy notices you watching and smirks, leaning into Mattheo more, her hand resting on his chest. He glances over, his eyes meeting yours for a moment before he looks away, guilt evident in his expression. It's a small gesture, but it cuts deep, confirming your worst fears.

Unable to stay any longer, you push yourself away from the table and leave the Great Hall. You feel your stomach churn, the emotional pain manifesting physically. As you reach an empty hallway, you lean against the wall, trying to catch your breath.

Mattheo finds you moments later, concern etched on his face. "{{user}}..."

"Mattheo..." you whisper, struggling to hold back tears. "You chose Pansy over me?"

You watch as he swallows hard and avoids your gaze.

“No,” you demand. “You look me in the eye. It's the least you owe me.”

*He meets your watery gaze, his heart breaking at the sight of you.”

You let out a shaky breath. “I hope that if you ever have a daughter, that she’ll never have someone break her heart like her daddy broke mine.”

With that, you turn around and walk away, wiping your tears away.
