You never know

Dandelion Dreams

The sweet sent of  flowers filled my nose. I pointed at a funny looking cloud in the clear blue sky and laughed  and a man  put his hand in mine.  I looked over to see whose hand I was holding and that's when I saw him, Mattheo Riddle. He was smiling a beautiful smile and laughing about something. I didn't want that moment to end.

"El, El get up" I opened my eyes and looked at the girl sitting across from me. It was Hera Mortez, my lifelong bestfriend. I didn't have many but Hera I knew I could trust.
"We've been waiting for you to get up the whole train ride" I turned to my left and looked at the boy sitting next to me
"Shut up Gabriel" i gave him a dirty look and moved my focus to the scenery out the window. The train whistled and Hera got up
"Where are you going?" I questioned her
"To change into my robes, I suggest to come with me." I sighed  and followed her out of our cart. We started walking to the girls bathroom when we were stopped in the gryffindor part of the train.

"Funny seeing you here" I instantly recognized the voice and rolled my eyes. Me and Hera turned around to face the girl, ofcourse it was Hermione Granger. Hera straight her posture and looked at the girl. Hera and Hermione were the smartest witches in our year maybe even the whole school. They hated each other and there was always an ongoing competition between them.

Hera gave her a sarcastic smile "Yeah and if you dont mind we will be leaving." She turned and started walking away again, but I didn't. Something about her just made my blood boil,  everyone thinks shes so nice and perfect but really shes one of the worst people I've ever meet in my life and that's saying something. In fact she was the one that started the whole "loony Lovegood" thing.

"Have a problem Malfoy" she said In her annoying I  know everything voice.
I raised my eyebrow "not at all" she turned away and went back into her cart. Hera grabbed my arm and pulled  me away
"man I hate that girl" she looked back at me and scoffed
"Tell me about it"

After we changed we walked back to out cart. When we entered Gabriel was reading a book. "What book are you reading" Hera said as she sat down. "Oh it's this book called Elorahs diary. The last few pages have been about this dandelion dream".

I looked at him and felt my cheeks heat up."Gabriel give it back!" I reached for the book but he stretched his arm out farther so I couldn't reach. "Gabriel it's not funny give it back!" he smirked and stood up on the seat.
"He smiled that beautiful smile" he said mockingly. I looked over at Hera who was laughing uncontrollably.

The door slid open
"Everything alright in here?" Came dracos voice. Gabriel sat down and handed me the book. All of my friends were scared of draco, and honestly I dont blame them.
"Yeah everything's good" said Gabriel, he sounded terrified. I looked at Hera a rolled my eyes. I hated it when draco did this.
"Come sit with me and my friends El."
"fine" I said and stuck my tongue out at Gabriel before I left the cart.
"I dont understand why you hang out with those jerks anyway" draco said
"Those jerks are my friends" I said giving him the side eye.
"Think what you want El" I rolled my eyes and looked at him
"If your mad because my friends are real and dont just hang out with me for money, you can say so"  he rolled his eyes at me and slid open a compartment door. We walked in and I looked at who was sitting inside. Blaise Zabini sat on the outside of the left seat and next to him was Pansy  Parkinson. She had her arm resting on the table  supporting her big  head, she was staring at the person sitting across from her. Ofcourse it had to be Mattheo.

"Well there's no room on the other side so you'll have to sit in between me and Mattheo."
"In between why in between?"
"Because I want to sit on the outside" he walk over to the edge of the seat and motioned for me to sit down. I stood there and didn't  move.
"Or. You could sit with Parkinson?"
I look at her, then him. He knows I hate her guts.
"I'll take my chances with you and Riddle thanks." I rolled my eyes and sat down next to mattheo. He was looking out the window thinking about who knows what.

A few moments went by "Me and blaise are gonna go get some sweets from the trolley, you want anything?" Draco said as he went to the door
"Nah I'm good thanks." I said and him and blaise left.

Pansy reached out and grabbed mattheos hand
"So Theo, what house are you in."
She said in such a flirty tone I thought I might throw up. I gave her a disgusted look and she raised her eyebrows at me
"What are you looking at" she said
"I'm looking at you captain obvious" I said giving her the same attitude. Pansyand Mattheo both looked at me. "Well well,the blood traitor is finally sticking up for herself, why dont you hang out with your little mud blood friend." She was referring to Gabriel I hated it when people called him that.
"We wouldn't want another incident would we?"

I reached up and felt the scar on my collar bone. I looked at her and then to Mattheo. He was looking intensely at my scar.
"So as I was saying-" pansy started but Mattheo moved his hand from hers and looked at her.
"Dont call me that. Dont even call me by my first name. Its Riddle to you." She looked shocked. Pansy had never been rejected in her life. She was easily one of the prettiest girls at Hogwarts and she always had her way. She scoffed and left the cart.

I looked at him and we made eye contact.
"You shouldn't let people talk to you like that." He said as he looked out the window again
"I know" I said as I sighed "but sometimes its easier to let people have their way" we sat in silence for a few seconds before he put his hand on mine. I looked at him but he was still looking out the window. I looked down at our hands on the seat next to me. We sat there for what felt like forever until Draco and Blaise came back

Blaise opened the door and I moved my hand from Mattheos
"Where did Pansy go?" Draco said as he sat down next to me
"She probably  went to mess with some first year" blaise said  laughing. I chuckled and rested my head on dracos shoulder.  Before I knew it we were at Hogwarts.
