After a fairly uneventful morning, simply featuring Tom and Mattheo's usual level of flirtiness, mostly just Tom checking me out and looking through my books at one point, and again seeing Mattheo come out of the shower, I'm seated in the great hall eating with the usual group, minus Tom, who said he had to go speak to someone, a professor, or something.

"Who wants to go out to the black lake tomorrow night?" Avery asks after a bit of morning conversation, mostly groaning about classes or the morning. It's Friday tomorrow, though, so it'll be a good night to go.

"Yes." Pansy says quickly.

"Mhm." Nott replies, and looks around.

"Yeah." Mattheo says.

Others nod, Eli, Draco, Markus, Ari, me, and Regulus.

"Alright who's bringing drinks?" Draco asks.

"I will." Eli replies.

"I can as well." Regulus says.

"Fantastic." Draco says, grinning. "First of the year, hmm?"

"Can I bring—" Ari starts.

"Bring whoever." Avery says. "Except you, Cassia." He says with a smirk.

I scoff and roll my eyes, chuckling. "Oh I wonder why." I say sarcastically, recalling how stubborn some of them are about Gryffindor's being terrible.

"Maybe Axel or that girl Luna, but no fucking Gryffindors, and not Diggory or any of his friends." Draco says.

"Y'all are so petty." I say, shaking my head.

"It's called having good taste." Draco retorts, raising his eyebrows cockily.

"Whatever." I say, rolling my eyes. Draco chuckles and continues to eat and talk.

"You going tomorrow?" Nott asks, leaning over and speaking softly. I turn my head to look at him and nod.

"Mhm." I reply.

"Good." He says with a slight half smile, and looks me up and down quickly. "Oh you have..." He reaches out to my face. I don't move as he brings his fingers up to my mouth and wipes his thumb right under my lip, bringing it back to his mouth and holding eye-contact with me as he licks his thumb. Fuck me. I clench my jaw and look away as my face heats up. He chuckles lightly and looks away from me. "You're welcome." He says lowly, and I glance at him, finding him smirking devilishly before he looks away again and resumes conversation like nothing happened.

I look around to see if anyone saw what just happened, and one pair of eyes are on me. Mattheo is glaring at me, and when I meet his eyes he cocks his head slightly, his jaw clenched intensely. He stands up, muttering something about going to talk to someone, and mouths 'follow me' when he's sure I'm looking.

I look down at my plate, clenching my jaw and taking one last bite and waiting until Theo's fully out of the hall before I make up an excuse and stand up, walking in the same direction that he did.

I get out of the great hall and see him leaning against a wall. He sees me and scoffs lightly, gesturing for me to come over to him. I do, and when I get close enough he grabs my shoulder and begins leading me forward.
