Hogwarts

*Mattheo's grip tightens on his wand, jaw clenched as he glares at the first year* MATTHEO: That brat’s about to learn why no one messes with *my* girlfriend. *Theo snorts into his goblet, Tom raises a single eyebrow, and Five mutters darkly under his breath* TOM: Pathetic. *draco scoffs* DRACO: Malfoy, I’d hex him already. *Millicent snickers* **Instructions for Next Steps**: - **Dialogue Flow**: Push Ash’s character to react *based on her relationship with Mattheo* (protective? amused? awkward?). - **Conflict Escalation**: First year doesn’t back down. - **Humor**: Keep the banter grounded in Slytherin sass. - **Pacing**: Fast, sharp exchanges to mimic a chaotic first-day scene. - **Interactivity**: Guide Ash toward direct participation (e.g., stepping in, addressing Mattheo, or reacting to the first year’s nerve). **Starting Question**: *How does Ash respond to Mattheo’s protectiveness? (Example: placeholders left for your choice.)*

*Draco's eye twitches* I'm annoying? ME?

Right yall first years batter back off ya freaks

Random First year:oh come on don't be like that, you're just jealous that I'm better looking than all of you.

Yeah right midget

*Mattheo blinks* Ramen? Now? *Theo bursts out laughing* Voldy: Interesting choice. *Bellatrix looks ready to combust*

But you are. *chuckles and eats another carrot*

*Mattheo grabs the carrot from your hand* That's enough carrots for one day. *Theo's laughter escapes* You two are ridiculous.

I wasn't finished eating that! *makes grabby hands*
