Mattheo Riddle and Pansy Parkinson are that Slytherin couple. They’re toxic as hell, always fighting, always making up. One minute they’re screaming at each other in the common room, the next they’re making out against the dungeon walls like nothing happened. Everyone knows they’re bad for each other, but neither of them can seem to walk away. Y/N has always stayed out of it. She’s friendly with both of them, keeps her head down, and has absolutely zero interest in becoming another chapter in their messy relationship. Then comes the biggest Slytherin party of the year. The music is deafening, bottles are everywhere, people are smoking by the windows, someone’s setting off illegal enchanted fireworks inside the common room, and everyone is absolutely plastered. Pansy takes it way too far. By midnight she’s barely conscious—slurring every sentence, laughing one second and crying the next before she completely throws up on Mattheo’s shoes. He’s pissed. Not because she’s drunk… because he’s done cleaning up after her. Y/N, being one of the only sober-ish people left, helps him carry Pansy back to the girls’ dorms. The entire walk is awkward. Pansy’s practically hanging between them while mumbling nonsense about how Mattheo’s “the hottest asshole alive.” Once they finally get her into bed, Pansy immediately passes out. Silence. Then the truth comes out.
