Poison; M.R

~First day

I push past all the new first years who are stood outside the great hall doors nervously waiting.
I roll my eyes when two of them won't get out of my way, "move out of my way" I hiss harshly.

They instantly turn to look at me their eyes wide in fear as they jump out of my way.

I'm not surprised the first years are afraid of me most people act like that.

No ones tried to mess with me since last  year, when I almost killed Pansy Parkinson after she attempted to put hair dye in my shampoo. She was in the infirmary for weeks after that.

I burst through the doors of the great hall and all heads turn to me as I confidently strut to the Slytherin table with my head held high.

I glare at anyone who looks at me for too long and they instantly look away.

I sit down with my small friend group. Draco Malfoy, Enzo Berkshire, Blaise Zabini and Amber Grey.

Draco and Enzo have been my best friends all my life and Blaise I've known since first year and we get along really well I don't know why but he's never got on my nerves like most people do.

Amber I don't mind but sometimes she can be quite annoying but we're still quite close. She is the only girl friend I've got. She understands why I don't like most people and she knows all the gossip. She used to be friends with Pansy Parkinson but now they hate each other.

"Hey hottie" Draco smirks as I sit between him and Enzo, across from Blaise and Amber.

Draco has been trying to get with me for a while now but I want to stay as just friends, he respects that which is what I like about him but it doesn't stop him from flirting.

I can trust him with anything knowing he won't ever judge me.

"Shut up blondie" I roll my eyes looking at him.

Why does he look so different this year, he's a lot taller and his face features have got a lot more defined not to mention his hair is styled differently

"I've missed you Maddy" he wraps his arm around me and pulls me close to him. I don't like affection with anyone else but with Draco it's different, I don't mind.

"Oh I know" I smirk back at him.

He huffs.
"What's wrong Dray" I ask fluttering my eyelashes innocently.

"Oi lovebirds, did you hear what Albus is saying, there's a new guy joining our year!". Blaise interrupts our conversation.

"Great another annoying bastard I need to put in place" I snigger.

"Ah, be nice maddy" Blaise jokes as he chuckles knowing damn well I won't be one bit nice.

"Oh yes of course anything for you Blaise" I wink sarcastically.

The four of us laugh as the doors to the great hall abruptly swung open.

I finally listen to what the old man is saying.

"Please Welcome, Mattheo Riddle!" Dumbledore booms. Everyone goes silent.

He just said Riddle? Oh. He won't be too easy to scare away will he.

A tall boy with curly brown hair and a subtle mullet walks in. His curls hung over his dark brown almost black eyes. He had a harsh looking scar on his nose and another that ran from his eyebrow down to his cheek. He walked confidently and unbothered of the amount of eyes staring and students whispering around him.

When he gets to the top of the hall he sits on the sorting stool and Mcgonnagall places the old house sorting hat on Mattheo's head.

The sorting hat had barely reached his curls when it yells, ..SLYTHERIN!

That was just like what happened me in first year that hat didn't even need to think twice.

He stands up with an expressionless face and walks over to our table.

There is a few hesitant claps from other Slytherins, I just stare at him.

He must have noticed because he looks over at me his cold expression changed to a strange yet hard to read expression for a moment but then changes instantly back to his usual face and he stares into my eyes for a good few seconds as I try to intimidate him before he looks away sitting down the opposite end of the table beside Theodore Nott.

"Ooo I'm so scared, Voldy's son is here" Blaise mutters sarcastically sniggering.

"He looks like a whole Greek god", Amber's mouth was hanging open in shook as she stared at Mattheo.

"A god?, he's the devil himself" Draco states glaring over at Riddle.

"Yeah but you have to admit he is pretty hot" I point out smirking at Draco's jealous reaction.

"If Maddy calls someone hot, you know they are she dosent say that about just anyone" Amber giggles.

"Truth that" Blaise agrees.
Draco just scoffs at the both of them.

"Let the feast begin", Dumbledore suddenly bellows.

No one has been listening to whatever he was saying but now the food appears on the table as everyone tucks in.

I just sit there as everyone else piles their plates high. I didn't feel like eating, I never do anymore.

I always feel the other girls at hogwarts are slimmer than me, nobody has pointed that out before but I fear they might.

Obviously I know I shouldn't care what people think and I don't. Usually.

"Maddy, come on eat up" Amber points her fork at the bowls of food in front of me.

"I'm not hungry I think I'll pass" I smile as I clear my throat and cross my arms over my chest.

"But you haven't eaten all day, you didn't even eat the food we got on the train" Blaise raises on eyebrow as he devours another chicken wing.

"I said I'm not hungry!" I raise my voice a little standing up and make my way out of the hall before anyone had a chance to speak to me once again.

They wouldn't ever understand if I told them why I didn't want to eat. They would just think I'm weak for caring about that sort of thing and it's not like me.

I stomp down the empty corridors holding back tears that were pricking my eyes.

I can't cry. I never cry. What is wrong with me.

I get to the bathrooms and rush in the door.

I look at myself in the mirror, I hate how I look. My thighs are too big, my stomach isn't flat enough, i didn't have a small enough waist and I looked a mess.

I break down in tears leaning against the sink as I stay staring in the mirror.

I look weak, vulnerable.

Before anyone could find me like this I wipe my tears away and wash off my smudged mascara.

When I look almost back to normal I walk out of the bathroom to go to my dorm.

I try to look confident as I walk back down the corridors which were starting to fill with students.

"Pureblood" I muttered and the entrance to the common room opens.

I walk in to see the only person in the room was the new guy, Mattheo. He was smoking as he sat on one of the couches beside the fire.

We glance at eachother before I look away and make my way up the stairs to the girls dormitory's.

I could feel his eyes were burning into the back of my head but I ignore it.
