Hey, that's a good question. I think I want Weasley to discover an edit now.
Weasley reacted to being threatened with "you're bad at threatening people, get better" so I think Matt would survive :). He wouldn't whip him or anything like that. He could definitely make Matt's life a living hell for a while and maybe he would (without any corporial punishment), but ultimately—
— I think it would push them together in the same way that Karen Incident did. There's something that Matt is trying to achieve, and he's trying to achieve it behind Weasley's back, which irritates Weasley, but ultimately he kinda-sorta helps him do it.
Not that they're always allays though. There are definitely times when James wouldn't help him do it, and times when Matt is working directly against him. This isn't fluff. This is a dangerous game, in which board sides are ambigious and you never quite know where the other player is at the moment.
