Enemies. That's the first word that comes to mind when you think of Mattheo Riddle and Taylor Ashers, if they even let you think of them both in the same thought, that is. But when forced to fake date, tensions run high and hormones take over.
Will...
"If Blaise didn't make you pull my head out of the water, would you have kept me there?" Mattheo asked me back in the Common Room. My legs were on his lap and we took up the whole couch. Our friends shared the one across from us.
"Probably," I said, putting my book down.
"For how long?" He asked me, smiling.
"Until I grew a conscience and pulled you up."
"So, never?" Octavia asked me, giggling.
"Exactly, Tavi. Exactly." I said, pushing my hair out of my eyes.
"Did you hear about that Beauxbaton girl that's transferring today?" Blaise asked, scrolling on his phone.
"No, who is she?" I asked.
"Well, she's friends with my sister, remember Bella? You've met her before."
"Yeah, I never see her around Hogwarts, though," I said thoughtfully.
"Neither do I, but apparently she has quite the social life," Blaise said, sending me an image.

"She's pretty," I said. "What's her name?"
"Clémence Monet. She's most likely going to be a Slytherin because that's her personality, but it's tied between Slytherin or Ravenclaw." I swallowed, she was really pretty. Would I have a competition?
"Also, Marcus Flint is hosting a Slytherin party in the Room of Requirement, it'll be a perfect welcome to her," Octavia said, lacing her fingers in Draco's.
"Remember what happened last time we went to a party?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
"That was because a Slytherin snitched, but since it's a Slytherin party, we should have no problems," Tania said, shrugging Blaise's arm off her shoulders.
"What are you doing?" He asked, frowning. She scoffed.
"I need to pick an outfit, don't I?" She fluffed her hair.
"I'll come with," I said, I took my legs off of Mattheo's lap and got up.
"Can I come too?" He asked, looking hopeful.
"Absolutely not!" I said cheerily. Octavia got up and walked upstairs with us. The girls didn't know it, but my mind was racing. Mattheo and I still haven't talked about his confession down at the lake. Of course, he knew I liked him, but we still hadn't made it official that we were for real dating.

Tania turned to me.
"Between Mattheo, Draco, Blaise, and Octavia -- if you had to -- who would you punch?"
"No one! They're my friends. I wouldn't punch any of them." I said defensively.
"Blaise?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Yeah, but I don't know why." We all burst out laughing.
"Don't let Blaise hear you say that," Tania warned, still in a fit of giggles.
"Bloody hell, I'm just glad it wasn't me!" Octavia let out a shout of mirth.
There was a knock on our door.
"Come in!" I shouted, still giggling.
"Hello? I was told to move into this dorm because it had spots open?" Looks like Clémence had arrived.
