Tom and Mattheo see you at Diagon Alley and approach you, both wanting to get to know you better.
"You both want my number?" you ask, raising an eyebrow, amused by their simultaneous interest.
Mattheo smiles confidently, "Very much so, yeah."
"Yes," Tom agrees in an equally determined tone.
You cross your arms, leaning back slightly. "Ok, well, I'm not a homewrecker."
"We don't live together. We stay in two different rooms," Mattheo shoots back with a grin, leaning closer to you. "Plus, Tom has a girlfriend."
"I do not," Tom protests, glaring at Mattheo. His irritation makes you giggle.
Their banter is entertaining, and you find yourself enjoying the attention.
"You're new to Hogwarts this year, right?" Tom points out, trying to steer the conversation.
"Yes, I am," you say with a smile, appreciating the genuine curiosity in his voice.
"We're both in Slytherin. I'm in room 206," Tom continues, his eyes locking with yours. There's an intensity in his gaze that makes your heart skip a beat.
You look Tom up and down, a playful glint in your eye. "You want me to come tuck you in?" you tease.
Tom smirks, trying to maintain his composure. "No, we can just keep talking..."
"About Quidditch," Mattheo interjects, stepping slightly in front of Tom, not wanting to be outdone.
"Or about anything else that's in that pretty little head of yours," Tom finishes, shooting Mattheo a challenging look.
You look between the two of them, shaking your head with a smile. "Good night..." you say, turning to walk away, leaving both of them watching you closely as you walk away.
