Is he the one; Matteo Riddle

PART FOURTEEN

I was walking to the library when I see Cedric talking to Lavender. They seemed to be arguing. My original plan was to walk past them and act like I didn't even know who they were but Cedric saw me and started speed walking towards me.

I turned to walk say but he grabbed my arm and spun me around. "Cedric please, I don't want a repeat of what happened last year."

"I know, I don't either. Please listen to me." He said and gently let go of my arm. I stood there and crossed my arms. "Please, I genuinely want to start over. I know there's nothing that can make up for my past actions but please. I'm tired of all this drama between us."

I swallowed hard. "How can I trust you?" I said making eye contact. "You were just talking to Lavender." He turned around to see Lavender yelling at some other kids. "I know."

He said turning back to me. "I was trying to convince her to leave you alone." I put my arms by my side and sorrow filled my eyes. "Wait, really?"

"Yes, I swear. Please." He held out his hand for me to shake it. I shook his hand. "If you break your promise Matheo will-" I started. "Yes I know."

I nodded. "How about we walk to wherever you were going and we can get to know each other better?" He suggested. "Sure, I was just heading to the library." He smiled. "Great."

We turned the other direction so we wouldn't have to deal with Lavender and started walking. "So, why are you even dating Lavender?" I asked as we continued walking.

"Well at first it was to make Matheo jealous, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Now it just seems stupid."

I laughed. "It is." He laughed to. "So why are you still dating her if you don't even like her?" I said. "I mean, you don't like her right?"

He shook his head. "No, I like someone else." I swallowed hard hoping it wasn't me. "Her name is Cho Chang" I sighed in relief. "Never heard of her."

He smiled. "Yeah, she's wonderful. I think Potter likes her though." His smile quickly faded. "Don't worry about him. Just because he's "The Chosen One" or whatever doesn't me he can have all the girls." I said and picked up my pace a little.

"The only one he could probably pull is Moaning Murtle." We both laughed. We finally reached the library and he opened the door for me.

"Again, I'm sorry about everything." He said. "Its fine." I laughed. "New year new you." He smiled. "Right." We waved to each other as he shut the door and walked off.

I walked over to the sections about Dragons and found my dragon breed. I opened it and began doing research for what age it is based on the looks.

Unfortunately mother to me I had to keep it at home so it didn't cause any problems at Hogwarts so I took a picture of it. I carefully took out the picture and unfolded it.

I carefully looked at the picture and then at the book. "Well, he was born last year so I'm assuming he's a year old?" I said to myself.

I continued to read the book and it said dragons age 2 years at a time so hes to years old. "Interesting." I said.

"What's interesting?" I heard a voice say. I grabbed the book and twirl around about to smack them in the face. Matheo quickly grabbed my arm before I could hit him.

"Easy there." He said in a mocking way. I sighed. "Jesus Matt. Don't scare me like that." I sat back down and opened the book back up, putting the picture in my pocket.

Matheo sat down next to me. "Watcha doing?" He asked. "I was trying to read about my dragon."

"What do you mean "was"?" He asked. "You scared the crap out of me so I lost my page and my train of thought."

He smirked.

"Sorry."

"Mhm." I found my page and continued reading. A few min later I heard Matheo sigh. I shut my book and looked at him.

"What?" I asked annoyed. "I'm bored. Let's talk or something." He said. "About?" I asked grabbing the book and putting it in my bag.

"I don't know. Anything I guess." I thought for a while then had an idea. I smirked and looked up I him. "I have an idea of what to talk about."

"And that is?"

"Tell me who your crush is."

He smirked and looked down at the ground. "No." I sighed.

"Can you at least tell me about her? Or him?" I gasped and stood up.

"Matheo are you gay?!"

He gave me a glare. "No."

"Omg Matheos gay!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"No im not, sit down and shut up!" He grabbed my wrist and pulled me down.

"There's nothing wrong with being gay." I said. He got close to my face and said "I'm not gay. Understand?"

Impulsively you made the F-boy face.

"Are we about to kiss right now?" I said. He smirked and pushed me away. We both laughed. "Are you on drugs?" He asked. "No but I wish." We both laughed.

"But for real. Tell me about her." I said. He leaned back in his chair and looked up. He sighed. "She's amazing. She beautiful, smart, she's sassy for sure." He laughed. I laughed to.

"She makes me feel wanted. I want to ask her out but, she doesn't seem ready to be in a relationship. And I think she only sees me as a brother."

I felt bad. Whoever this girl was definitely deserved him and he deserved her. "Maybe you should just talk to her about it?" He looked up at me. "Like, talk to her about relationships?"

He sighed and sat up. "I kind of have." I looked at him confused. "What she say?"

"That she was more focused school." He rolled his eyes. I laughed. "Sounds a lot like me." He smiled at me. "Yeah, she's a lot like you actually. That's why I like her so much."

I smiled to. "I'm thinking of asking her out on her birthday." He said. "That's a great idea Matt!" He laughed a little.

"But I need your help." He finished. "Of course! With what?" I asked. "Well, what would a girl usually want for her birthday? Or what should I do to ask her out?" I sighed and looked down. "Hm."

I got it

"Oh!" I said looking back up at Matheo. "Show them your secret garden! That might love that!" He looked at me a bit shocked.

"Wait why? That's supposed to be our secret spot." I smiled shyly. "I know but, you should make her feel special." We made eye contact for a while.

"And maybe after that you can take her up to your dorm, give her your gift, and ask her out." He smiled. "That's a lovely idea. Thanks Y/N." We both smiled at each other.

"Anytime."
