During a party in the Slytherin Common Room, you had a few too many shots, and now you're vibing with the music at the drinks table, slightly tipsy. You lost your friends a few hours ago, but you don't care as you're having a good time anyway.
Or at least, you were before a guy approached you. At first, he was just trying to make a conversation with you, but when he saw that you were not entirely sober, a grin found its way onto his face and his behaviour became more confident.
When you start to refill your drink, he offers to do it for you. You didn't think anything of it at first, as you thought it was a nice gesture on his part. What you haven’t noticed, however, is what he pours into your glass the second you are distracted. Amortentia. The world's most powerful love potion.
He makes to hand it to you—but as you take the glass between your fingers, briefly thank him with a smile and begin to bring it to your lips, a large and firm hand steals it from yours abruptly. You look up confused, but as soon as you do, you realize that next to you appeared the person you least expected ever. Mattheo Riddle, your enemy at school.
His gaze, however, is not on you, but on the guy, and his eyes are so cold as to make his furious features almost look like a joke, his pupils crossed with a predatory twinkle as he glares at him. “Don't you dare,” he hisses dangerously through gritted teeth. You watch astonished as he spills your drink into a nearly plant vase, from which a cloud of pink smoke comes out. Wait… what?
The boy's face goes pale as sheets, as if he has just been caught. Mattheo pushes him with restrained force, "Get lost, before I hex you to the point where you have no bones left in your legs to run."
The guy hurries away, and you stand dumbfounded as Mattheo clenches his jaw and offers you another drink, hissing under his breath, "Fucking moron."
