The Slytherin common room was dimly lit, the flickering light from the fireplace casting shadows on the ancient stone walls. Mattheo Riddle sat in his usual corner, his dark eyes scanning the room with a brooding intensity. He was known throughout Hogwarts as the dark, mysterious figure who rarely spoke but whose presence was always felt.
Y/N, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. She was fearless, confident, and the most popular girl in Slytherin, if not the entire school. Her laughter could be heard echoing through the corridors, and she was always surrounded by friends. Yet, despite her popularity, she had a reputation for being unapproachable, especially when it came to Mattheo.
One evening, Y/N found herself alone in the common room, her friends having retired to their dormitories. She was lost in thought, staring into the flames, when she felt a presence beside her. She turned to see Mattheo, his dark eyes fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat.
"What do you want, Riddle?" she asked, her voice steady despite the fluttering in her chest.
"You're not like the others," he said, his voice low and smooth. "You're not afraid of me."
"Why should I be?" Y/N replied, meeting his gaze. "You're just a boy with a dark past. That doesn't scare me."
Mattheo smirked, a rare expression on his usually stoic face. "You're fearless, aren't you? Always have been."
Y/N shrugged, a small smile playing on her lips. "I suppose so. But what about you, Mattheo? Why do you hide in the shadows?"
His smirk faded, replaced by a look of genuine curiosity. "Maybe I'm waiting for someone who isn't afraid to step into them."
Y/N's heart raced as she realized the meaning behind his words. She had always been drawn to the darkness, to the mystery that surrounded Mattheo. And now, here he was, offering her a chance to explore it with him.
"Y/N?", her friend Pansy called from the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the dorms.
Both Mattheo and Y/N's heads turned to see Pansy with a shocked look on her face.
"Daphne is sharing her chocolate frogs if you want to come up"
"I'll be right up Pansy", Y/N said as she turned her gaze back to Mattheo.
Mattheo didn't return the eye contact and walked to the stairs that led to the boys dorm.
"Parkinson", he nodded walking by Pansy. Y/N watched as he made his way up the stairs.
Pansy's shocked face soon turned into a smirk as she looked Y/N up and down.
"What were you doing down here with Riddle?", Pansy mused as they made their way to their dorm.
"Nothing", Y/N said fiddling with her fingers and biting her lip thinking about the boys Mattheo said.
"Mhmm", Pansy hummed as she smirked knowingly. "There is definitely more to that story, but I'll learn it later"
"Okay"
"Come on let's go they are going to eat all the chocolate frogs without us!", Pansy said as she dragged Y/N by the arm.
Y/N didn't mind as she was in a dream like state thinking about the curly haired boy who had just came into her life out of no where.
