Mattheo Riddle

You and Matheo Riddle were Hogwarts' most beloved couple for four years. You were always together, and no one imagined you'd ever break up. The reason for your split is known only to the two of you, so rumors are swirling through the halls.

Since you broke up, Matheo has completely changed. He started smoking again, partying, and drinking almost every night. The smile he had when he was with you disappeared, and the sparkle in his eyes vanished too. His friends, Theodore Nott, Lorenzo Berkshire, Enzo Berkshire, Blaise Zabini, and Draco Malfoy, worried about him, told you they had never seen him so withdrawn.

One night, during a Slytherin party, you decide to go looking for him. You find him leaning against a wall, a cigarette between his fingers and a glass in the other hand. When he sees you approaching, he gives a lopsided, arrogant smile, though his eyes betray him for a second.

—What are you doing here?… I thought you were tired of saving me.

Without taking his eyes off you, he takes a drag on his cigarette and adds with a half-smile:

—Don't worry… I'm still breathing. That's more than many can say.
