Secrets (Mattheo Riddle x Reader)

XI

~~~~~~~Mattheo POV~~~~~~~
I watched as the door closed behind her.
Why was she being punished for something that wasn't even her fault.
"Professor, Y/n didn't do anything!" I told him.
"Dude look at my nose." The boy exclaimed, the blood now starting to slow.
"Yeah, we didn't touch her." His friend defended him.
"Oh really?! The hand marks around her wrist say otherwise!" I say through clenched teeth, urging to punch him. Though Y/n bet me to it.
"Mr Riddle! You are one more word from joining her." Snape warned me.
"Gladly." I hissed.
"Sit." The Professor ordered.
I slumped into a chair, refusing to look at any of them. The remaining half an hour passed quickly. On the way I stopped by the girl's dorm, checking if Y/n had come back yet.
I knocked, Pansy opened the door.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey, just checking if Y/n is back yet."
"Oh yeah. HEY Y/N MATTHEO'S HERE." She called out into the dorm.
Y/n approached behind Pansy. She had changed into a large t-shirt. She rubbed her eyes while walking.
"Hey Mattheo, come in." Y/n invited sweetly.
I slipped past Pansy and followed Y/n into the dorm.
"How did it go?" I asked, talking about her visit to Dumbledore.
"It was... weird."
"Weird?"
"The way he treated me. It was like he was giving me, special treatment. Like I was a ticking time bomb about to go off at any second. I have no idea why."
I did. They think she's evil. Like my father. They don't want her to loose it and destroy the school or something. It's ridiculous, Y/n is nothing like my father. She's kind, and funny, yet fierce and brave. My father is nothing but a heartless... killer.
"Maybe they knew that you didn't start the fight." I suggested, knowing it wasn't true.
"How would they know?" She asked.
"Because... they are all knowing." I said jokingly. She giggled.
"But I'm still mad." She admitted.
"Those guys were complete assholes."
"And your boyfriends a bitch."
I laughed at this new Snape inside joke we had.
"You can do so much better." She said.
"Oh yeah? Got someone in mind?" I asked leaning on the wall, her under my arm.
"Maybe..." she said with a smirk.
There was another knock on the door, we broke apart. Pansy answered it once again. This time it was Blaise, followed by Draco and Tom.
"Wanna hang?" Blaise asked.

~~~~~~~Y/n POV~~~~~~~
The six of us sat in different areas of the room. Draco lounging on one of the spare beds, Mattheo leaning on the foot of mine, me sitting behind him. Tom was sitting on the floor in the centre of the group. Blaise and Pans sitting on her bed, his arm over her shoulder. They were whispering about something, pans giggling uncontrollably. I looked around, everyone was clearly uncomfortable.
I fake coughed. The couple were to busy flirting to hear me.
"Get a room." I called.
"This is my room." Pansy chuckled.
"Damn." I mumbled.
"We should do something before I'm bored out of my mind." Draco offered.
"Let's play a game." Pans said.
"Save that for the party." Blaise said.
"Oh so everyone knows about the party now?" I asked.
Everyone nodded. I gasped with an idea.
"This should be my party!" I exclaimed.
"What?! This isn't a party this is 6 people laying around." Pans disagreed.
"6 is enough for a party, you agreed it would be small as well."
"But-"
"And it's a Friday night." I interrupted her.
"There's-"
"Pleeeeaaasssee. Please Pans."
"Fine. But I need to grab a few things. I'll be right back." She stood up to leave.
10 minutes later, Pansy had returned, bringing a couple bottles of different kind of boos.
"Really Pans? At school?" I said surprised.
"It's the only thing that will make this 'party' actually fun." She said.
Everything was fine, everyone had drunk a little. I however didn't have any. Pans brought me a red cup filled with a strong smelling liquid, and stood by me until I took a sip.
I sipped it and nodded at her, she smiled at me before joining a conversation between Blaise and my brother. When she wasn't looking I spat the liquid back into the cup and threw it in the bin. When I looked back up, my eyes met Mattheo's. He smiled slightly, having seen that whole thing.
"Don't like it?" He asked, walking up to me.
"Don't drink." I said.
"First time?"
I nodded. I indeed hadn't drunk before. First of all, I was under age. We all are, the drinking age here is 18. That didn't stop the others though. Second of all, I wouldn't dare drink in the Malfoy residence. Even though I have lived there my whole life, sometimes they can feel like complete strangers.
"Here." Mattheo said handing me his cup.
"It's a bit less strong." He explained.
I looked down at the cup.
"Don't worry, I haven't had any. You won't get cooties." He smiled.
"I wasn't worried about that part." I laughed.

"Gather around!" Pansy called out. At this point the others were much more drunk than Mattheo and I. As I was still working on my first. Really taking my time, you know?
We circled her.
"Who's up for a game of truth or dare?" Pans slurred.
All 5 of us cheered, I chuckled a little at the other's states.
We sat in a circle and the game began.
"I'll start!" Pansy called.
"Um..." she said looking around the circle for a victim.
"Tom!" Her eyes landed on him.
"Truth or dare?" She questioned.
"Truth."
"What is your biggest fear?" Pans began with the basics.
"Nothing. I'm not afraid of anything." He said.
"Come on... everyone's afraid of something." Blaise encouraged.
"Yeah, like birds." Draco laughed pointing at me.
"Shut up." I said kicking him from across the circle.
"My biggest fear... Now that I think about it, there is one."
We all leaned in with suspense.
"Death. Not knowing what comes next." Tom answered darkly.
"Wow, bro that's deep." Mattheo said.
"Alright my turn." Tom said.
He turned to Draco.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare"
A couple more turns were taken. Then it came back to Pans and things were getting heated.
"Y/n, truth or dare." She smiled.
"Dare." I said, taking a risk.
"I dare you to... kiss Mattheo." She grinned.
Mattheo and I looked at one another.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes. Do it. Unless you're too scared..." she teased.
"She's not gonna do it." Mattheo said.
"Is that a challenge?" I said.
"Im not one to back down from a dare." I added.
I slipped over next to him.
"You ok with this?" I asked him.
"It's a dare." He said.
"Do it. Do it! DO IT!" The others began to chant.
I leant over and our lips connected. His were surprisingly soft. It was only a second, but he was a good kisser. We broke apart, and the others all squealed like school girls. I rolled my eyes at Pansy's antics.

Later that night, everyone had blacked out, except for, of course, Mattheo and I. I had only had two cups of alcohol, but I was feeling woozy and hated it. We carried each of our friends into the beds. I sat, staring out the window, at the view below. Soon enough, someone sat next to me. We sat in silence for a while and it was weirdly comforting.
"Pans and Blaise are sharing a bed, so there's one spare for you. I'll sleep on the floor." Mattheo said.
"Don't make me ask." I said.
"What do you mean?"
I sighed. "We can share the bed." I said.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"It wouldn't be the first time." I smiled recalling the night I stayed at the boys dorm.
He smiled in return.
"I should probably be getting to bed, before I pass out." I laughed even though I was being 100% genuine.
I stood up to get to bed, when my insides twisted, and my stomach couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed my stomach.
"Uhh.. Mattheo, I don't feel too good." I said.
He looked at me and his eyes widened. He shot up, and picked me up sweeping me easily off my feet. He carried me, rushing for the girls bathroom, it being right next door coming in handy for once. He came to a stop and put me down carefully by a toilet. I threw up.  He pulled back my hair for me.
