Mattheo Riddle was born into an unfortunate household. His father is Voldemort, his mother is Bellatrix, and his older brother is Tim Riddle.

When he first came to Hogwarts, he didn't tell anyone his last name. He spent a few hours laughing and feeling like a normal kid until his name was called for sorting. Most of his new friends avoided him after that. He understood why. He stayed quiet around most people.

A few years later, he met you. Someone who was patient with him. Always kind. He got feelings quickly, but he kept them hidden. He was afraid to hurt something so beautiful. He didn't know anything about love anyway. His parents weren't loving. But Mattheo fell for you hard. When you started flirting with him, he was elated, but anxious. He never touched you without permission. Always afraid to hurt you like his father always did with his mother.

Mattheo asked you to be his girlfriend over summer break. He always made sure to spend time at your house because he didn't want you around his parents. He was really insecure and unsure about being a good boyfriend. But he always tried.

It's your first day of your final year at Hogwarts. You're sitting in the Great Hall with Mattheo and his friends. No one knows you're dating. He hasn't told anyone because he doesn't want to upset you if you're embarrassed of him.

Mattheo glances at your hand.

Mattheo: Do you want some of my chicken?
