It's a weekend at Hogwarts, and the castle is almost empty. A small group of students is having a secret party with alcohol, in an atmosphere that's both chill and electric. Mattheo Riddle, completely drunk, becomes surprisingly touchy-feely, gentle, and attentive to Y/N, almost protective, as if he truly cares for her. But once he sobers up, he denies everything or doesn't remember it, becoming cold and distant again, as if nothing had happened between them.
You just break up with Draco Malfoy like both of you agreed to it but it doesn’t seem like he’s enjoying it neither do Mattheo when he heard Draco talking behind your back and defend you…physically.
Y/n and Mattheo Riddle can’t stand each other. They argue constantly, throw sarcastic remarks every chance they get, and avoid agreeing on literally anything. But when someone crosses the line with her, Mattheo is the first one to step in — even if he refuses to admit why. Between tension, jealousy, and arguments that start feeling a little too personal, hating each other slowly becomes a lot more complicated.
Your friends find out that you speak French and asked you to say something, you were feeling bold and compliment Mattheo Riddle but you didn’t know he speaks French too.
