Unexpected love - Mattheo Riddle

09

It has been five days since my father, Bellatrix Lestrange, Mattheo and Theodore tried to kill me so if Mattheo and Theodore really wanted to I'd be dead already.
I have been avoiding pretty much everything and everyone except for the twins, Lorenzo and Pansy.

"I bought you something!" I hear a voice that's full of excitement as the door opens, Pansy smiles as she sits down on the edge of her bed, I sit down on the edge of mine.
"You really didn't have to do that!" I say with a smile as she hands me a little box.
"Thank you." I say with gratitude, I open the box and see a thin silver necklace with a small emerald green stone.
"Oh my god thank you so much!" I say as I get up and open my arms to hug her.
"No problem, it's your birthday after all." She says smiling.
"So... Draco told me not to tell you but there will be a party in the common room tonight to celebrate your birthday!" She squeals, I smile and act as if I'm really excited but I'm not, I don't want to see Mattheo or Draco.
"I'm gonna go now, Astoria and I are getting booze for tonight, see ya!" She shouts as she leaves, I've grown to like her in the past week.

A party tonight, what am I going to wear? I decide to get up and go to Hogsmeade, maybe Hermione wants to come with, I need a girls advise on what to wear.

I walk out of my room into the common room and I see Draco, Lorenzo, Theodore and Mattheo talking. I hope they don't see me as I quietly walk out of the room.
"Hey Evelyn!" I hear Lorenzo's voice, pretend not to hear him as I keep walking, when I'm finally in the hallway someone puts a hand on my shoulder and I flinch.
"Goddamnit Lorenzo, you scared the shit out of me!" I shout.
"I'm sorry, happy birthday!" He says as he hugs me tightly, I hug him back and after a few seconds we both let go.
"So any plans?" He asks
"I was just going to Hogsmeade, to buy myself a present." I say as I smile
"Alone?" He asks
"I am on my way to ask Hermione if she wants to come with and if she doesn't I'm sure I'll be fine on my own." I say as I keep walking towards the Gryffindor common room.
"I can come." He says
"I'm good, thank you though."
"You're not going there alone." He says "I know about the dark lord." He adds to clear things up
"Don't worry." I say
"I'll walk with you to Hermione's dorm so you can ask her and if she doesn't want to come I will come." He demands
"You're not coming Lorenzo." I say with a smile, he's too nice.
"Fine but I will walk with you."
"Fine."
"Mattheo asked me to talk to you." He says after a short period of silence.
"Tell him to fuck off." I look Lorenzo in the eye and force a smile "politely."
"He told me to tell you that he was forced just like you was?" Lorenzo says sounding confused.
"Tell him that he shouldn't talk to me ever again." I say as I walk into the Gryffindor common room.
"Bye!" I say as I slam the door shut behind me before Enzo can answer me.

"Hermione!" I shout because There's no one here.
"Well hello." I hear Fred's voice
"Oh hi Fred." I say with a smile
"Happy birthday!" He says as he walks towards me with open arms and he hugs me.
"Is Hermione busy?" I ask
"She, Harry and my brother are missing." Fred says
"Oh, what are they doing?" I ask
"It's a secret." He says
"Does it have anything to do with Horcruxes." I question
"I think so." He answers "why do you need her anyway?"
"Just wanted to go shopping." I respond "but if she isn't here I'll find someone else, bye!" I say as I walk towards the door, I open it but before I leave I turn my head to look at Fred again.
"Where's George?" I ask
"At home." He lies, he's so bad at lying it's actually funny.
"That's weird, I swear that I saw him walking in the hallway this morning ." I say to make George nervous
"Must've missed him." He says with a smile
"Anyways, gotta get going." I say with a smile before I turn my head and walk away.

I don't have anyone else that I want to be with right now, except for one person but he did not only screw me over, he tried to kill me.
Maybe Draco wants to come with me. As I walk back to the common room I think about a dress that I saw in a store in Hogsmeade last week, it was tight, light pink and quite revealing but I think it'll look good on me.

When I get to the common room I see that the boys are still talking.
"Oh hey guys." I say as I walk towards them and sit down on the couch next to Mattheo.
"Happy birthday." Draco says with a smile
"Thank you Dray." I say with the most fake happy voice ever.
"You look good today Enzo." I say as I get up
"Draco do you wanna come with me to Hogsmeade, everyone else seems busy." I tell him acting as if I don't know about the party.
"Sure." He says as he gets up.
"You look good too." Lorenzo says, really randomly and late.
"Piss off Berkshire, that's my sister." Draco says as he looks at him a little mad, I wink at Lorenzo as we walk away.
Mattheo seems pissed but he's good at hiding his emotions as usual.
"So why do you wanna go to Hogsmeade?" He asks
"Just getting myself some presents." I tell him
"Any other plans for today?" He asks
"Yea me, Pansy and Astoria are probably going out later tonight why?" I ask
"Oh nothing, thought you hated Greengrass?" He says with confusion.
"I do but we talked and it's alright I guess."
"So you're still friends with Riddle?" I ask
"He didn't do anything wrong besides following his dad's orders." Draco replies
"He literally tried to kill me." I respond
"He had to."
"I'll go alone." I say as I start walking faster
"Mattheo regrets it." Draco says as he stops walking, I stop walking too and I turn around.
"He shouldn't have done it in the first place."
"That's unfair." Draco answers "He didn't have a fucking choice." Draco starts talking louder with every word he says.
"But that doesn't mean I don't get to be mad at him." I say
"That's true, I'm sorry." Draco says
"It's alright." I say

"Wanna get butter beer?" I ask after a moment of silence.
"Sounds great." Draco answers with a smile.
"Oh and stop flirting with Berkshire for your own fun, the boy actually thinks he has a chance." Draco says, he knows me so well even though we don't talk much.
"Maybe he has one." I say to piss Draco off
"He wishes." Draco says, we both laugh.

It's really nice to bond with Draco again, I love him so much.
