Mattheo's POV

From the moment I laid my eyes on Y/N, it felt like I'd been hit by a spell—no, something worse, something I couldn't control. It was ridiculous, really. I wasn't the type of person to get all tangled up over someone. I had control, always. But when they walked into the Great Hall that day, laughing with some friends, everything shifted.

At first, I thought it was some kind of magic. It had to be, right? No one could just do that to me. I've been around dark magic, seen things that would make most people run. But this—this was something different. The way my stomach twisted in knots, the way my chest tightened every time Y/N was near—it felt like an enchantment.

It made no sense. I barely knew them, and yet, I found myself seeking them out, just to be close. The sound of their voice, the way they smiled, the way their eyes seemed to glow when they were lost in thought—it was driving me mad. I'd catch myself staring, and every time our eyes met, something inside me jolted, like I was losing control of everything I thought I had a handle on.

I tried to fight it. Merlin knows I tried. Ignored it, pushed it down, convinced myself it was some kind of fleeting infatuation. But it never went away. Every day it grew stronger, like a curse sinking deeper into my veins. And every time I heard their laugh, or saw the way they moved, I'd feel that pull. It was being chained to something I couldn't escape.

I couldn't tell anyone. What would they say? Mattheo Riddle, son of the Dark Lord, brought to his knees by someone without even lifting a wand. It was embarrassing, infuriating, and...intoxicating.

But the worst park? Y/N had no idea. They'd smile at me in the hallways, or offer a quick nod in passing, completely oblivious to the storm raging in my head. And every time, I wondered if they could feel it too, even a fraction of what I did. Could they feel the magnetic pull that had me wondering if someone really had cursed me?

But no. There was no spell, no enchantment. Just them, Y/N, and the way they unknowingly turned my world upside down.

I'm cursed, alright. But it's a curse I think I'd never want to break.
