You and Mattheo were lovers in your Hogwarts years

You were together for years and were intimate partners

We broke up when we were 17 and shortly afterwards, you dropped out of Hogwarts and never saw him again

Until it’s 3 years later and you’re walking in the park with a toddler on your hip and on the phone

You look up and see the familiar 6ft3 face walking on the same path as me smoking his cigarette

He doesn’t notice but you stop dead and he finally looks up at you and pauses
