Feeling Again-Mattheo Riddle;Book 2

Chapter 26: First Date... Kinda?

Once again, sorry that the tenses between past and present keep switching! Once I finish editing the first book ( which will happen soon) and I finish this book, I will edit it! 

Come Saturday and I am running around my dorm frantically. He told me to meet him at the Three Broomsticks, and I practically cry when I realize I forgot to do my laundry. I was so relieved when I found a red tank top that would be nice with black jeans. I sighed in relief before letting my hair out of it's ponytail, it looked weird in a ponytail anyways. Content with my look, I left the door and started walking to Hogsmeade. No one knew about what happened between me and Mattheo that night, and honestly I liked it that way. I knew sooner or later however, I'd have to tell Harry.

"Hey Snow!" I turned around and saw Ginny walking in, adjusting her earrings. 

I smiled in response before looking around for my money. 

"Where you going?" she asked. 

I sighed of relief when I found my wallet before responding. "I'm going on.... a date." 

A smile crept onto her face as she smoothed out her hair while staring at her reflection in the mirror. 

"I'm assuming you're also going on a date?" 

An undeniable blush crept up on her face as she nodded. 

"Who's the lucky guy?" 

Her smile fell as she cleared her throat, going back to her hair. 

"...Or girl," I say with a smirk. 

She sighed of relief before responding. "Someone..... I dunno, she's just so precious and she makes me smile." 

"That's amazing Ginny!" I exclaimed. I didn't want to push her to tell me. With one last deep breath, I began going out the door. 

"WAIT! Who are YOU going on a date with Snow?" 

I giggle like a little girl high on sugar, "BYE GIN!" 

I quickly jog out of the common room, where other students are leaving for Hogsmeade, meaning I would blend in with the crowd. Once I arrive at Hogsmeade, constant chatter and bustling surrounds me. I try quickly making my way to the Three Broomsticks, but it's difficult because of how many people are trying to go from shop to shop. After pushing through a huge crowd of people, I finally make it to the Three Broomsticks. I look at my watch and sigh of relief when I see that it is 5:28 PM, meaning I'm barely on time. I open the door and look at the back tables and see Mattheo sitting at one of the tables, messing around with his fingers. 

I make my way to the table and sit right in front of him. When he notices my presence is face immediately breaks out in a smile. "Well hello there sweetheart." 

I chuckle slightly at his sudden giddiness. "Nice to see you too, Mattheo." I look around awkwardly, trying to think of what to say. "I mean, I don't really know what to say Mattheo, we already know a lot about each other." 

He leans forward on the table, staring into my eyes. "We can try a little game. We try telling surprising facts about each other and see if it really is a surprise to us." He smirks at this. "I already know I'm going to win." 

"We'll see about that, Mattheo." I cross my arms over my chest and raise my eyebrows smugly, letting him know I'm ready.  

"Don't laugh at what I'm about to tell you," he warns. I nod, knowing full well I'm not going to listen. He took a deep breath before blurting out the last thing I expected to hear. "I used to do tap dancing when I was 13." 

I suppressed laugh comes out of my nose. I press my lips together but the thought of a short, young, Mattheo Riddle caused me to burst into laughter.  A few people gave a few weird glances my way. Mattheo gave me a death glare since I said I wouldn't laugh. 

"SORRY! I'm sorry but... YOU? TAP DANCING? Holy fuck the image in my head is hilarious!" I burst out laughing again, almost crying.  

"Shut up!" he said, but I could feel him trying not to smile. 

I couldn't stop laughing in between breaths while I tried to say something. "Oh my god... you, tap dancing?" I continued laughing, and I shut my eyes so I wouldn't look at him and see a young version of him tap dancing. 

"SHUSH!" He leaned over covered my mouth with is hand. The sudden touch sent chills down my spine. My eyes widened and looked at his hand, and my heart rate went through the roof. He cleared his throat and sat back in his chair and smirked. "Nice to know I have such an affect on you Potter. I just touched you with my had, imagine if I used my li-" 

"ANYWAYS!" I insist, " we should move on. My turn." He sets his arms down on the table and look at me expectantly.  

"I'm a virgin," I state proudly. He scoff laughs at me. 

"Not surprised." 

"You should be. Who WOULDN'T want to have sex with me?" 

"I'm sure people do, but once someone gets to know you, they understand you're softer and sweeter than your hard shell." 

"Maybe one day," I said. 

"Just waiting for the day you turn 18." 

I look at him, proud at his confidence. "Are you suggesting I'm going to lose my virginity with you Mattheo?" 

He leans forward on his elbows and holds his face up with his hands. "Who else would be good enough for you darling?" My cheeks flushed red and he smirked at the sight. I cough uncomfortably and have a long sip of water. I mean, Mattheo is currently 17 and will be turning 18 in January. Even though it is only a 1 and a half year age gap, it still makes sense for us to wait. 

"You're turn." 

"I play the violin," he claims. 

"Really?" He nods and smiles. "I channel my emotions in my pieces, it's really obvious sometimes." 

"You should play me something sometime Riddle." 

He nods before accepting the butterbeers we ordered from the waiter. 

"Oh, I'll pay," I say. I take the wizard money out of my wallet but Mattheo just holds my hand down. "MATTHEO! Let me pay!" 

The waiter looks down at both of us with a small smile on his face as he accepts the money from Mattheo. "You didn't have to do that!" 

He shrugged his shoulders. "It's fine, Snow, really. I asked you out so I should pay." I swear to fucking god, I almost melted. Oh fuck it. I stand up and move to sit next to him. He looks shocked and all I do is give him a knowing smile. 

I decide to be a little adventurous and lean over and whisper, "Thank you."  I place a teasingly slow kiss on his earlobe before sitting back like nothing happened. I felt him shudder as I pull away. 

"Anyways, Mattheo, you're turn. What's something about you that would surprise me?" 

Nothing could've prepared me for what he said next. 

"I have a little sister."
