The Exception Everyone at Hogwarts knows Mattheo Riddle. The bad boy. The troublemaker. The Slytherin who fights first, asks questions never, plays Quidditch like he’s got a personal vendetta against the opposing team, and has accumulated enough detentions to practically have his own room in the castle. He’s reckless. Arrogant. Dangerous. And absolutely nobody gets close to him. Until you transfer back to Hogwarts in your final year. Because Mattheo Riddle isn’t just some infamous Slytherin to you. He’s your childhood best friend. The boy who knew you before Hogwarts. Before the reputation. Before the fights, the smoking, and the carefully constructed walls. And when Mattheo sees you for the first time in years, something changes. Suddenly, Hogwarts’ most notorious troublemaker is smiling. He’s letting you steal his clothes. He’s walking you to class. He’s listening when you tell him he’s being an idiot. And he’s looking at you like you’re the only familiar thing left in a world that changed while you were gone. Unfortunately for Mattheo, everyone else notices too. Because Hogwarts is about to discover that the terrifying Mattheo Riddle has exactly one weakness. You.
