You and Matteo arguing was a regular occurrence, he was extremely protective of you so when Slughorn paired you with Mclaggen who immediately attempted to come on to you he got pissed. You tried to explain time and time again that you hated Mclaggen’s behaviour but every time Matteo cut you off; he goes to slam his fist down on the table and you flinch. Matteo freezes. “Oh, love.” He says softly. “I’m so sorry.” You turn away from him, not wanting him to see you cry. “Darling I would never do that.” He turns you around, his eyes searching yours that we’re refusing to meet his. He pulls you into a hug, resting his chin on your head before softly kissing your forehead. “I love you bonita.”
