Entering the dorm she shared with Astoria Greengrass, Isabele Weasley felt as if the world collapsed on her. Riddle read her fucking diary and now he starts teasing and playing games. How is she supposed to go to a party full of alcohol and cigarettes?
–Come on Isa, live a little! Let me get you ready!
Malfoy's girlfriend tried the 100th time to convince the redhead who stood on her bed, reading.
–Astoria, I said no. I have homework and I do not want to stay anywhere near those idiots. she said through her gritted teeth
–One of those idiots is my boyfriend Isa.
–I know, and I question your decision every time I remember.
Rolling her eyes, the brown haired girl got close to her friend, putting up those puppy eyes.
–At least let me put some makeup on you. Please.
–Alright, but I'm not going!
She ended up going. Not only because Astoria begged for at least one hour straight, but because, even if she didn't want to admit it, she was a little intrigued by the Riddle boy. She felt completely out of her zone when she saw her reflection in Astoria's mirror. Her freckles were fully covered by foundation, and the nude maroon eyeshadow made the girl's green eyes pop. Her hair was up in a slick ponytail. The one thing she hated the most was the minidress Astoria made her wear. It was black with a semi-sweetheart neckline, showing so much skin that she felt almost naked. Walking with the 7cm black heels was an ordeal.
–I'm looking like a slut, Astoria!
–Nonsense, you're beautiful!
The girls carefully walked to the room of requirements, evading any teachers that were patrolling the corridors. After the more experienced one opened the invisible door, Isabele felt as if she was swallowed by music and laughter.
Astoria took her friend's hand, guiding her right to the lion's den. The Weasley girl saw Draco and Blaise smoking, but who sat next to them on the couch took her by surprise. In Matteo's lap was Pansy Parkinson, laughing at one of his stupid jokes.
–Come on! pushed her the excited brunette
Greengrass quickly pecked Draco on the lips then turned to her mates.
–She got your invitation, Theo.
–And I didn't accept it.
–Then why are you here? laughed Riddle
–Because I asked her to. explained Astoria, sensing the tension between those two.
Isabele wanted to leave as soon as the smoke got to her. She tried her best not to cough, but failed miserably.
–I see. chuckled Blaise as he respectfully tried to change his place so that the smoke would not derange the redhead
–And, weasel, do you really think you're welcome here? You clearly don't belong. sneered Pansy
Before Isa got to respond, the curly haired boy answered in an unbothered tone.
–I invited her. Take your paws and gash elsewhere.
–And Astoria did a pretty good job styling her. Maybe she doesn't belong here, but it looks otherwise. smirked Draco, putting an arm around his girlfriend's waist
An annoyed eye roll was the only response they got back from Parkinson. She got up and went to get a refill. "A bit of fresh air" spitfully thought Weasley.
–Sit. said Riddle
For a moment, Isa froze in place, her breath caught up in her throat. "On his lap…?" Then she realised the boy patted the place next to him. Hesitantly sitting next to Theo, she felt him shuffle a bit.
–I did not mean in my lap, love, but if you want to, it can be arranged. whispered him
The redhead felt her cheeks were turning the same color as her hair so she shook her head and avoided eye contact.
–So, Isabele, do you want to play suck and blow with us? asked her friend
–What's that?
–You don't know? asked Pansy sipping from her new cup.
–Well, you put a card on your lips and suck it there without using your hands. The card will be passed between people, and if you drop it, you have to kiss the person who should've gotten it next. explained Blaise
–So, are you in?
–Well, umm…I…
–She's in. stated Astoria
The game started from Blaise, who passed the card to Malfoy. The blond purposely lost so that he can kiss Astoria. The card then got around until it was Isa's turn. The inexperienced girl was able to take the card from Pansy, but as she turned to Matteo, praying to all the gods to not drop it, a drunk 5th year hit the couch, moving it a little.
The 7 of diamonds fell, stopping the redhead's heartbeat.
–Oh wow, looks like you two have to kiss.
–Oh, wow, you pointed to the obvious Draco. sneered Pansy.
Riddle only smirked and cupped the shaking girl's face.
–Did you have your first kiss? whispered him
Their eyes looked for a moment, but, the second, Isabele got up, shoving him.
–I'm done playing.
That made the whole group of friends laugh at the curly haired boy who apparently got rejected by the one and only Weasley girl.
Walking determined to the exit, Isa was feeling ridiculous. "Never again in her life" swore the girl who was now strutting down the halls.
–Weasel, love, come on! I did not try to-
–Stop saying "love" Riddle! I'm not wasting another second with you or the other perverts!
–Perverts you say? That wasn't even the start…
–I don't care! You can shove that damn card up your-
–Miss Malfoy, mister Riddle. I see you two are entertaining yourselves. the potion teacher's jerked voice interrupted her smart comment
She widened her eyes, trying to find a solution. Think smarter not harder.
–Professor Snape, wonderful…mumbled Mattheo
–Yes, I dare say it's wonderful to catch you out in the middle of the night smelling like alcohol and shouting like a pair of monkeys.
–We're sorry professor!
–Speak for yourself, thank you very much. sneered the boy
–I'm trying to get us out of your bullshit, you pig!
–My bullshit?! You're the one who was like a walking tornado!
–Stop. Detention for 3 weeks. Now go up to your rooms before I take points from your house.
–We both know you won't do that. continued Riddle
–Don't tempt me.
Huffing and already exasperated, the redhead stomped to the common room. Mattheo followed her, always a few steps back. The only thing Isa was grateful for right now was that he was keeping his damn mouth shut.
–Goodnight. he mumbled as she walked to the girls bedroom
–Yeah, yeah, burn in hell.
A chuckle escaped the boy's lips as he watched the red tornado enter her dorm.
