Unexpected love - Mattheo Riddle

11

"For Merlin's sake, you snored so loudly the whole night!" Draco says as I rub my eyes.
"Oh shut up already." I say as I sit up and see Lorenzo standing at the door.
"Good morning to you too." I say as I look at him and chuckle.
"Morning Berkshire." Draco says
"Where did you go last night?" Enzo asks, I sigh before realizing that we kissed.
"You don't stand a chance with her." Draco says before I could answer.
"I didn't mean for all of this to happen." I say as I get up.
"So you basically used me." He says
"Yes, my apologies." I say harshly "I was also just really really drunk." I add
"Draco, wanna study together later? We have that history test coming up right?" I ask
"I am not sure, maybe." He says.
"Okay, bye." I say as I walk out of their dorm.

Looking back on yesterday it was quite fun, except for the part where I completely broke down and had a fight with Riddle.

"Ev!" I hear behind me as I enter the common room, Mattheo's voice.
"Don't talk to me." I say as I sit down on the couch and I start reading a book I stole from Draco.
"So you did fuck Lorenzo." He says as he sits down on the couch in front of me.
"That's none of your business." I tell him
"Well it's not really a secret when you're wearing his clothes." Mattheo responds.
"They aren't his." I respond
"So you kiss one boy and fuck another in one night, real classy. Let me guess... Zabini?"
"Just go away." I say
"Why would I?" He asks
"Fine, I'll leave." I reply as I get up
"Just talk to me!" Mattheo says
"What do you wanna talk about?" I ask "the fact that you called me a attention whore yesterday? Or that you ruined my birthday?" I ask seriously.
"No, my father will be here tomorrow." Mattheo says "I am afraid and I need my best friend." He adds, best friend? He never even called me his friend.
"Go find Theodore then." I say as I walk away
"I was talking about you!" He yells
"So we are friends now?" I ask "didn't know friends want each other dead."
"I didn't fucking want you dead!" He yells
"Can you stop yelling at me!" I shout back
"I'm sorry," He says "just talk to me."
"I don't think I can Mattheo." I say with tears in my eyes, trying to hold them back.
"Then just listen." He responds, he looks devastated and I have never seen him vulnerable like this.
"Fine, my dorm." I say, he grabs my arm and we apparate to my room, I have the power to make him leave here and that feels nice.
"Oh hey Pans." I say as we get to my room
"Hi Evelyn!" She hugs me tightly "and Mattheo." She adds less excited.
"Where are you going?" I ask her
"My part of our bet." She says "I swear to god if this goes wrong I'll kill you." She adds as she walks out of the door.
"What bet?" He asks
"I'm only listening." I tell him
"Fair enough." He says
"Go on, talk."
"I am afraid my father will hurt you," He says as he looks out of the window "or someone you care about." He sighs as he gets up.
"This is useless, I can't talk you out of this anyways." He gets up and walk towards the door looking down.
"You can't, but you can take my side." I try to convince him.
"They're my family." He says
"Draco and Lucius are also mine and here I am, doing the right thing for everyone, even if I'm not on their side." I reply as I walk towards him.
"I can't." He responds
"Just think about it, please." I say "for your best friend" I smile as I open the door for him.
"Thanks but no." He says as he walks away.
I could have known, at least I tried.

After he left I started reading the book again, it's not that interesting but I'm bored.
"Hi!" I hear Pansy's voice as she enters our
"How did it go?" I ask her with a smile
"I don't even wanna talk about it." She says as she looks down to the floor.
"That's okay." I respond.
"But guess what?" She asks
"Tell me." I say with a smile.
"Dumbledore said the Quidditch season can continue!" Pansy squeals.
"Why was it canceled in the first place?" I ask her as I put my book away and I grab the jar of cookies that's on our drawer, Pansy sits down on my bed and she eats a cookie before telling me what happened.
"Like three days before you came here McGonagall had to break up Slytherin and Ravenclaw because they were fighting. I think someone from Ravenclaw that isn't in their team used magic, I'm not sure though." She says
"So they cancelled so many games for a small incident?" I ask
"Two people broke their nose and someone broke his ankle and many people were bleeding so it wasn't that small." She says
"Oh shit." I say

We eat some more cookies and continue talking about quidditch.
"Anyways, I was going for a run later, wanna come with me?" I ask, I haven't gone for a run since the day after I arrived here and I need to clear my head.
"I literally haven't ran in years." She says "if you don't go too fast maybe I could keep up." She says and we both laugh.
"Okay sure." I say as I get up.

"I think my leggings are in the washing machine." Pansy says as she throws things out of her drawer.
"I have plenty, wear something of mine." I say as I grab my favorite black leggings and a matching sports bra.
"Why do you have so many? And it's literally all cute and matching." Pansy says
"I may have had a shopping addiction..." I say with a innocent smile.
"We've all been there." She says as she grabs a dark green set and her Slytherin sweater.
"Wait will it rain?" She asks
"I don't know, maybe we should check." I say, Pansy checks the weather and looks at me for a few seconds with an unreadable look.
"It will rain in like five minutes." She says "and it will not be gentle."
"We can watch a movie until it stops and we can go running after." I say with a smile
"Sounds like a great plan." She answers.

So we do just that, I put on a movie while she gets some snacks. When the movie ends it's still raining so we wait for a little longer and when it stops we go for a run past the Black Lake.

"Don't you think this place is so peaceful and quiet ?" I ask Pansy as we get to the lake
"To be honest, the only thing I can hear is my loud as fuck breath." She says and we both laugh.

When we got back from our run we showered, talked, ate and gossiped some more before falling asleep early.
