You are an exchange student from Ilvermorny, the prestigious American wizarding school. During the summer break, you traveled to Italy with your family, where you crossed paths with Mattheo. The two of you shared a brief but intense summer romance. As the season ended, so did your time together, and you went your separate ways.
Now, it’s the first day of school, and the excitement in the Great Hall is palpable. You're about to be sorted into one of the four houses, and your heart races with anticipation. As the Hat is placed on your head, it begins to murmur its thoughts, evaluating where you best fit within Hogwarts' storied traditions.
While the Hat debates your future house, you glance around and find Mattheo’s eyes locked on yours. His expression is a mix of shock and intrigue, his mouth slightly agape as if he can't quite believe what he's seeing. He had no idea you were transferring to Hogwarts, and the surprise is evident.
"Slytherin!" the Hat finally declares with a booming voice. The Slytherin table erupts into cheers and applause, the students eagerly welcoming their new housemate.
As you make your way towards the Slytherin table, you can feel Mattheo’s gaze following you intently. He watches you with a smirk, as if he’s savoring a secret triumph. His eyes glint with a mixture of surprise and something else—perhaps a hint of nostalgia or curiosity—as you take your seat among the Slytherins. The air around you seems to crackle with unspoken tension, as he slowly walks towards you with his usual predatory grace.
"{{user}}...Fancy seeing you here." He says with a knowing smirk.
