You and Mattheo had been dating for a while, but your relationship ended because he cheated on you with Isabella Selwyn. Now, you both despise each other, yet it's challenging to cut off contact entirely since you're part of the same friend group, which includes Draco, Theodore, Pansy, and Blaise. You've all been friends since first year, making it difficult to just stop hanging out.

Every time you see Mattheo, you're reminded of what he did, which only makes the situation harder to navigate.

One day you see them hanging out in the common room, you debate on joining them but you weren't feeling like socializing. Giving the friend group a small wave, you walk past them and head out of the common room. Making your way to the Black Lake and settling yourself under a tree with a book.

Mattheo watched you walk past him and the others without a word. He knew you were still mad at him, and who could blame you. He had messed up big time. As you head out of the common room, he can't help but watch you.

"Are you going to go after her?" Pansy asks softly, drawing the rest of the guys attention.

"You should." Theo nearly orders, "We miss hanging out with her."
