Unknown Black Heir

Riddle

The common room felt like a safe haven when I reentered it later that night after Nott and I were done walking around and not talking. I told him that I'm not talking about it anymore and he told me that's fine, and that we won't talk about anything at all. So we walked around the school until curfew and didn't talk.

Malfoy and Zabini were sitting on the couch when we returned to the common room with some other guy that I haven't met yet. Nott sighs when he sees who's sitting with them and I look at him with an odd expression.

"Not a fan of that guy?" I ask him quiet enough that no one else hears me. He laughs dramatically and shakes his head.

"No, definitely not a fan of that guy." Nott mumbles and rolls his eyes at him.

"We don't have to go over there then. We could just walk around more or play chess. I've never played wizards chess. You could teach me."

"You've never played wizards chess?!" Nott asks dramatically. "Oh shit, girl. We have to fix that."

"Oi, where have you two been? You nearly missed curfew and we've been waiting to hear how the date with Gryfindor's favourite twats went." Zabini says as he calls us over to them. I look to Nott and he sighs and motions for me to go first.

"I was avoiding you lot because I don't particularly want to answer your questions." I reply to Zabini as Nott and I sit down on the love seat beside each other. The other guy that I haven't met yet looks at me curiously but doesn't say anything.

"Ah, so I take it the date didn't go quite as planned then?" Malfoy smirks at me before glancing between Nott and I. "What were you two doing anyway?"

"Not that it's any of your business, but we were just walking around the school." Nott says to his friend.

"Good, because I don't exactly want you dating my cousin Nott." Malfoy says to him.

"We've been cousins for like five minutes Malfoy." I say to him and roll my eyes. "And it's my first week here. All I'm doing is making friends so fucking relax."

"Ohhhh shit." Zabini and the other guy says dramatically and Nott smirks at Malfoy.

Malfoy bites the inside of his cheek and glares at me before nodding his head. "Fine." He scowls at me.

"Ah, don't worry Malfoy. As if she would have a thing for Nott." The other guy says to Malfoy who looks uncomfortably from him to Nott.

"Shut the fuck up." Nott says to him, glaring at the him and avoiding everyone else's eyes.

I don't know who this guy is but I already don't like him. What's his bloody problem? Nott is a nice guy, he's been nothing but welcoming to me since the moment I got here which is more than I can say about some of the people I've met.

Why doesn't Malfoy or Zabini say something to him? Stand up for their friend? It makes no bloody sense.

I choose not to say anything though. I don't know who he is but I'll just add him to the list of people I already don't like.

Starting with Pansy Parkinson.

Harry Potter and his stupid friends.

Ending with;

"I'm sorry, I don't think I caught your name?" I say to the new guy and he smirks.

"Mattheo Riddle, love." he says.

Mattheo Riddle.

"Ah, I'm Cameron Black."

"Well Cameron, nice to meet you." He says to me. "And will you be joining us for the night? There's a party in the Ravenclaw common room tonight, we were just going to head down there."
