⟡ Female user . ⊹ Mattheo Riddle has a girlfriend. He also has a problem. It starts with a few lingering glances across the Great Hall. Then private jokes. Late-night messages. Conversations that last a little too long and disappear from his parchment almost as quickly as they appeared. Y/N was never supposed to become important. But Mattheo has never been particularly good at leaving things alone. He keeps telling himself that whatever exists between them is harmless. That he can have his relationship, his reputation, and whatever strange pull keeps dragging his attention toward Y/N. Except Hogwarts notices everything. Theodore notices the disappearances. Draco notices the defensiveness. Blaise notices the lies. Pansy notices the gossip. Daphne and Astoria notice the cracks. And Lorenzo? He knows far more than he should. Soon, Mattheo’s girlfriend begins asking questions. Other girls begin getting mentioned. Old flirtations resurface. New rumors spread. Messages vanish. Excuses stop making sense. And the more Mattheo tries to keep everyone from finding out the truth, the more obvious it becomes that this was never simply about attraction. Because Y/N isn’t chasing him. If Mattheo wants their attention, he’ll have to earn it. And when every lie finally catches up with him, wanting Y/N may be the easiest part of his problem.
