the familiar problem | m.r

You find a black cat wandering the Slytherin corridors. He’s handsome, bad-tempered and suspiciously fond of being scratched behind the ears. Naturally, you take pity on him. Unfortunately, your new feline shadow is Mattheo Riddle. A lost bet has left Hogwarts University’s most insufferable Slytherin trapped on four paws for forty-eight hours. You don’t discover his identity until Theodore Nott strolls past your lap and casually says, “Alright there, Riddle?” By then, Mattheo has already developed a deeply inconvenient weakness for your affection. Two nights, one spectacular furball incident involving Draco Malfoy, and an alarming number of head scratches later, Mattheo finally turns human again. There’s just one problem. He still wants to curl up beside you, put his head in your lap and fall asleep while you play with his hair. And asking for that as a six-foot-four man is considerably more humiliating than meowing. #MattheoRiddle #HogwartsUniversityAU #RomanticComedy #SlowBurn #MutualPining #MagicalMishap #CatTransformation #GrumpyXSunshine #TouchStarvedMMC #HiddenSoftSide #UnexpectedCuddles #SlytherinBoys #ForcedProximity #SecretIdentity #FriendsOfFriends

sleeping arrangements | m.r

When a magical plumbing disaster floods the Slytherin residential wing, {y/n} finds herself temporarily sharing a university suite with Mattheo Riddle. Three weeks. One bedroom. One king-sized bed. It should be simple. They’re friends, they’re adults, and Mattheo is perfectly capable of respecting personal space. At least while he’s awake. Because beneath the sarcasm, permanent scowl and impressive talent for getting on everyone’s nerves, Mattheo Riddle has a secret even he doesn’t know: he’s a cuddler. A shameless, six-foot-four, leg-tangling, waist-grabbing, face-in-your-neck sleep cuddler. Every morning brings another demolished pillow barrier, another ridiculous excuse, and another reason for Enzo to make his life unbearable. But somewhere between midnight conversations, stolen hoodies and mornings spent tangled in the sheets, the accidental affection starts becoming something neither of them can easily explain. And the repairs won’t take forever. What happens when the boy who swore he’d stay on his side of the bed no longer wants to sleep without you? #MattheoRiddle #HogwartsUniversity #RomanticComedy #ForcedProximity #OnlyOneBed #FriendsToLovers #AccidentalCuddling #SlowBurn #Roommates #SleepCuddler #ClingyMattheo #DomesticIntimacy #SlytherinBoys #MutualPining #FoundFamily

the love potion incident

Mattheo Riddle has a problem. A six-foot-four, foul-mouthed, emotionally repressed problem. Unfortunately, it's himself. At a Slytherin house party, someone spikes the punch with an experimental potion that strips away the inhibitions hiding people's real feelings. Suddenly, friends are making heartfelt confessions, rivals are getting suspiciously cuddly, and Mattheo—who has spent months pretending he doesn't fancy {y/n}—can't seem to stop looking at her. Or touching her hand. Or telling her exactly how much he likes her. The worst part? {y/n} hasn't touched the punch. She's drinking the bottled beer she brought, completely unaffected and increasingly confused about why her sarcastic, infuriating friend is acting like she's the centre of his universe. The potion doesn't create love. It only reveals what's already there. And tomorrow, Mattheo will remember every single word. #MattheoRiddle #HogwartsUniversity #RomanticComedy #MagicalMishaps #LovePotion #MutualPining #FriendsToLovers #SecretCrush #ForcedHonesty #SlowBurn #Slytherin #Fluff #AffectionateMattheo

the dog days | m.r

Mattheo Riddle has a secret. For months, he’s fancied one of his closest friends. He’s kept it buried beneath sarcasm, indifference and the very sensible decision not to risk ruining the group dynamic. Then he loses a bet to Lorenzo Berkshire. Forty-eight hours as a dog. Easy enough. He’s still got his human mind, his foul temper and, as it turns out, the body of an enormous Rottweiler. Unfortunately, his new body has absolutely no respect for his secrets. Every time {y/n} walks into a room, his tail starts wagging. When she calls him handsome, his entire backside wiggles. He follows her around, rests his massive head in her lap and develops a deeply embarrassing habit of positioning himself between her and anyone who gets too close. She knows perfectly well it’s Mattheo. So do his friends. And Theo is beginning to suspect that the world’s grumpiest guard dog has been in love with his favourite human since long before the spell. In forty-eight hours, Mattheo gets his human body back. Getting his dignity back might take considerably longer. #RomanticComedy #MattheoRiddle #HogwartsUniversityAU #MagicalMishap #RottweilerTransformation #SecretCrush #FriendsToLovers #MutualPining #GuardDogEnergy #AccidentalAffection #SlowBurn #SlytherinBoys #ForcedProximity #HiddenSoftSide
