AlxMattie are so adorable!
"Come on, you stupid head! Let me in!" Alfred took hold of the eagle-shaped knocker and banged on the door some more. "I want to see Mattie!"
"You must answer the riddle and then only may I allow Ravenclaws to enter my tower," replied the knocker.
Alfred huffed. "Well, then could you get someone from inside to get Mattie for me? I really need to talk to him." He fiddled with the ends of his Gryffindor scarf and tapped his foot.
The knocker gave Alfred an exasperated look. "I'm not a painting, child. I am permanently stationary."
"Argh! Fine! I'll just sit our here until someone comes by."
So Alfred sat and waited… and waited… and waited.
He was about to give up and just go walk around outside alone when the door to the Ravenclaw Tower opened and a blond head popped out, along with the rest of their self.
"Oh! Alfred! What are you doing here?"
"I've been waiting for you. That stupid bird on the door is really unhelpful, you know."
Matthew blushed. "Sorry. I hope you haven't been waiting long. I've been doing homework for the past while. I wanted to get it out of the way for the rest of the break, eh?"
Alfred smiled and shook his head. "Not at all, Mattie. Now, would with your work finished, would you accompany a lonely guy on a walk around the castle?"
He held his arm out and Matthew hooked it in his with a dark blush on his face. "I-I'd be delighted to, Alfred."
