"Love is hard to find, hard to keep, and impossible to forget"

MATTHEO'S POV

We walked in silence, our fingers interlocked for a while. We finally reached the Slytherin common room and she let go of my hand as she said the password.

At that very moment I just wanted to grab her hand and put it back in mine. I loved the feeling of her warmth on my cold hands but I couldn't do that, I'm the dark lord's son. I can't show affection

She walked up to her dorm and unlocked the door. We entered her room. Something sat on the corner of her desk immediately catch my eyes. It was a muggle book, Romeo and Juliet, never heard of it. I slipped the book under my shirt as she went into the bathroom.

I walked around her room, looking at everything, trying to figure her out. After a little while she came back with medical kit.

"Sit." She commended

"Alright but don't try to give me orders ever again love. Understood?" I said, stepping closer to her. Our faces were now only a few inches away

"Okay okay, sorry...I still need you to sit down though" she answered, looking at the ground

I sat on her bed as she sat across from me. She took my hand and started to clean the wounds

"This might hurt a little bit" she told me, before cleaning them

I didn't flinch. The pain wasn't even near what my parents would do to me everyday.

I studied her face as she tried not to hurt me while cleaning my bloody knuckles

"Oh no..." I heard her say, looking at my face

"What?"

"Draco punched you in the face and now you have a scar on your nose" she said, while delicately trailing her finger on the cut.

"This could've all been avoided you know" she held up my hands, covered in blood.

"Do you know why Malfoy kissed you"

"He said that he thought you had a crush on me and he wanted to prove it" she shrugged as she said this.

I slightly nod. I defended her but that doesn't mean I'm in love with her.

She then cleaned the cut on my nose and then wrapped my hands with bandages.

"There you go" she said, smiling.

"Thanks" I mumbled

"You're welcome Mattheo" she answered, putting away the rest of the medical kit

EMYLIA'S POV

"Did you call me Mattheo?" He asked, a smile in his voice

"No I didn't..."

"Yes you did!" He picked me up and threw me on the bed before tickling me

"Mat-Mattheo stop!" I laughed, trying to catch my breath

"Ooooh is Emylia ticklish" he smirked, tickling me even more

"N-no she's no-not" I said, squirming "Now stop before she punches you"

"If you say please, I'll think about it"

"M-Mattheo please"

He finally stoped and held out his hand as he helped me up

"We should probably go back before people start to freak out" I slowly said

"Yeah you're right we should go"
