The cool air wrapped around me as I stepped out with Milo, his leash taut as he sniffed the ground. The quiet was calming, a rare break from the chaos of the castle.
Out of nowhere i heard my name "Agnes!"
I turned quickly, surprised by the shout. Mattheo now stood at the doorway, his dark hair a little messy and his usual smirk absent.
"What?" I called back, confused as i just left him in the common room. He walked fast toward me, looking uncharacteristically unsure. "Wait up." he yelled out. What dose he want now? I stopped, Milo wagging his tail as he sniffed in Mattheo's direction.
"What do you want?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.
Mattheo shrugged, his hands in his pockets. "Could you show me around the grounds? Outside, I mean. I haven't really seen much since I got here."
I stared at him for a moment. "You've been here for three days and didn't think to look around?"
"Didn't really feel like wandering alone," he admitted, his tone casual.
I sighed, adjusting Milo's leash. "You know you can literally ask anyone of your friends here right?"
He smirked faintly. "No, I cant. Because they don't skip class to show me around and you're already out here, and you seem to know your way around"
"But Dumbledore will literally kill me if he found out I let you skip class to show you around" I tell him because if he finds out he will for real not let me have the mornings off.
"He won't find out, trust me" Mattheo said trying to reassure me that he wont find out. But it is the best wizard of all time we are talking about here, he probably will find out.
"Fine," I said reluctantly. "But if Milo pulls you into a puddle, that's on you."
Mattheo giggles and says "Fair trade," as he is stepping beside me.

As we walked through the dewy grass, I pointed out the basics, the Black Lake, the forbidden forest looming dark and mysterious, and the greenhouse domes sparkling under the morning light.
"You weren't kidding about knowing this place," he said, his voice quieter than usual.
"I kind of grew up here, Sirius and Dumbledore made me come here from a very young age"
Mattheo glanced at me but didn't say anything. For once, there was no teasing, no smirking, just quiet as Milo trotted ahead, happily leading the way.
Without any interruption i kept talking "Before it was time for my first year I pretty much knew all the spells and curses in the books"
Mattheo looked surprised at me. "Wait, you can cast the unforgivable curses?"
