Never say Never

Chapter Two

Everything was silent for a few seconds before low murmurings began along with a smattering of polite applause. I made eye contact with Pansy "Riddle? As the Dark Lords son?" I asked, she shrugged "I guess so but it seems unlikely they would let him into the school, I mean surely they must deem him too dangerous to be allowed anywhere near everyone else! Right..." I was about to answer her when everyone went silent again.

The doors flew open as Professor McGonagall walked in with a boy trailing behind her. He was gorgeous, with dark messy hair and tan skin, he was fairly tall but not crazy tall how some people are. He was hanging his head, almost as if he were too shy to even consider looking up, annoyingly this meant I only got a split second glance at his face before he turned away again.

Dumbledore's voice boomed through once again shanking me out of my trance, " I trust you will all make our new guest feel more than welcome here. Now eat!"

The storm of noise that followed was unbelievable, most people talking about the new boy. I felt a tap at my shoulder, I turned to see Minerva McGonagall standing over me. "Hello Professor, how are you?" I asked, "Very well thank you my dear." She turned to speak to the boy behind her "You will sit here, I'm sure they can all introduce themselves, you'll get along nicely."

He sat down next to me so I thought I would introduce my self and the others, "Hi, I'm y/n malfoy nice to meet you, this is Pansy Parkinson, Lorenzo Berkshire, Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini and my darling brother Draco Malfoy." He smiled at me before saying, "Hi I'm Mattheo nice to meet you."

His voice was quite deep and he was very well mannered, his accent was fairly upperclass British.

Enzos voice cut through my thought, "How old are you?" Blaise looked at him as though he were an idiot, "we're all in the same year dumbass" Enzo made a face of mock offence "still he could be 13 or 14" he replied.

I coughed to cover my laugh, Blaise and Enzo were always arguing. Mattheo cleared his throat, "Err, I'm 14 by the way." They turned to look at him, Enzo just laughed before turning back to Blaise, "I told you so!"

The Feast carried on along the same lines, Mattheo started to relax around us, "Do you know which dorm your in?" I asked, He looked at me before replying, "I haven't been told yet, last I heard they were still making arrangements." I nodded slowly, "If they ask you whether there is a room you want to be in day Theodore notts room, they have an extra bed."

Theo turned his head to me in outrage, "What if Alex comes back?!" I shrugged "It's been a month and we haven't heard anything, I doubt it."

Alex Whitlock. He used to hangout with us before he got a bit to close to the whomping willow one time, he ended up breaking half the bones in his body. His parents withdrew him from the school, we were never told if it was for good or just until he was ready to come back.

I stood up, "I'm tired, I'm gonna go to bed." They all muttered goodbye. Mattheo stood up and announced that he would be joining me, I shrugged and started walking.
