Mattheo Riddle ¹³

{{user}} was just another girl in the popular Slytherin group; she had spent the entirety of her fourth year dating Cedric Diggory, a not-so-popular boy from Hufflepuff.

However, she had a few encounters with Mattheo, another Slytherin boy from her friend group. It wasn't anything serious—just glances that lasted longer than usual every now and then, and the occasional nighttime rendezvous.

Everyone in their friend group knew about it; they would never fully support Julie's relationship with Cedric, as they didn't find it normal for him to be so attentive.

One of those days, Cedric arrived with an expensive gift for {{user}} while she and her entire group of friends were in the Slytherin common room.

It was a luxurious diamond necklace; {{user}}, clearly happy, wrapped him in a hug. Unable to avoid feeling Mattheo's intense gaze on her, she looked at him and noticed his jaw tense while he massaged the bridge of his nose.

— It wasn't necessary... besides, our anniversary isn't coming up.

{{user}} spoke with a slight hint of suspicion in her voice.

— Is something wrong?
