The Brave Slytherin

Gryffindor Party

It's been a few weeks since my talk with Mattheo. I have officially decided to move on, so it's perfect timing when Hermione runs up to me, to tell me there is a party in the Gryffindor commonroom tonight. Everyone is invited, so I'm looking forward to hopefully meet some other people, that I usually don't talk to. Since the party is tonight, I have to find a cute outfit soon. So, I say goodbye to Hermione and run to my dormroom. When I walked in Mattheo was on his bed just reading Romeo and Juliet. 'I don't suppose your father approves of you reading muggle literature?' I say as soon as he notices me. 'Nope.' 'And I guess that's the reason that you're reading it.' 'You bet so.' He said while smiling. I walked towards my closet and tried to find an outfit that I haven't worn a lot and that would be cute for the party. While I was looking at all the clothes, Mattheo asked me what I was doing. 'I'm looking for an outfit for tonight.' 'What's tonight?' 'There's a party in the Gryffindor commonroom. Are you coming with? Everyone's invited.' 'Maybe. I might stay in and read some more of this muggle shit.' 'You? Mattheo Riddle? Staying away from a party to read a book?' 'No, I'm just kidding. Ofcourse I'm coming with.' 'I thought so. I almost wanted to ask if you were sick.' 'Well I'm definitely not sick.' 'Okay, if you're not sick, then please help me pick out an outfit.' 'Sure.' After going back and forwards on a few outfits, Mattheo helped me pick out a dark green sleeveless-turtleneck-bodysuit with some black, ripped, high-waisted jeans. I put on the same snake-earrings as the last party and I was ready to go to the party. 

I ended up going to the party with Pansy and Draco, since Mattheo still had something to do and would tag along later. When we arrived I went over to Ginny and Hermione who were talking near the table with the drinks. 'Heyyyy girls, how've you been?' I said to them when they saw me. 'Heyy Y/N, we're good, how are you doing? And oh my god you looking amazing!' 'Thanks Hermione! Mattheo actually helped me pick it out.' 'That boy has good taste.' Ginny responded. 'Yeah, I know. But, enough about him. Let's get a drink, because I'm thirsty.' I said. I went to grab a shot, because to move on from Mattheo tonight, I needed to forget about him first. Ginny took a shot as well, while Hermione just drank some butterbeer. After a little while I had had a couple shots and was dancing with Ginny and Hermione to the music. Draco walked up to me and asked if I wanted to dance with him. Ofcourse I would, we're friends. 

I said bye to the girls and I moved over towards Draco. We started dancing and at that moment Mattheo walked in with another floozy. He started making out with her in the corner of the room.  At this point I was quite drunk and I was really enjoying myself with Draco, so I didn't want to focus on Mattheo. Draco on the otherhand wasn't as drunk, but he did enjoy dancing with me as well, which he showed by kissing me. At first I pulled away, because I was confused. But, then the alcohol got to me and made me realise that this would be an opportunity to get over Mattheo, so I kissed Draco back. The moment we started making out again, Mattheo saw us. And to say the least, he was not best-pleased. I pulled away from Draco the moment I heard some commotion and that was when I saw Mattheo walk over to Draco. He punched Draco in the face and looked at me, to see that I was very drunk. However, the fact that he just punched Draco, shocked me that much, that I instantly sobered up a bit. 'WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU MATTHEO??!!' was the only reaction I could give to what just happened. Before he could answer me, Draco punched him back. Mattheo punched him back one more time and walked away after yelling at Draco to stay away from me. I had no idea what just happened, except for the fact that Draco was on the floor with a bloody nose and mouth. I helped him up and walked with him towards the hallway. I wanted to get him to the hospital wing, but he told me not to. 'Why can't we go to the hospital wing Draco?' 'Because if we go there, they will know that something happened and they'll eventually find out, that Mattheo did this. And I guess I'll be in even more trouble with him.' 'Yeah, but Draco you need to get your face checked out.' 'It will be okay. I'll just get some ice and then it will be fine.' 'Okay, if you say so.' I helped Draco put ice on his nose and while I did that we started talking about what happened before Mattheo knocked Draco down. 'Hey, about before... I.' I started. 'Yeah, I don't know why I kissed you, but to be honest. I don't regret it. I've kinda liked you for a bit now, so I was hoping you might want to go on a date with me.' Draco said, before I could say more. I never really thought about Draco as something other than a friend, but maybe he could be a good distraction from Mattheo and maybe this could turn into something nice. So, what the hell, let's do it. 'Yes, I would like to go on a date with you Draco. But, maybe we should let your face heal up a bit first.' 'Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.' After he said that, we kissed one more time, before we ended up walking back to the Slytherin Commonroom. 

When we walked in nobody was there, so we luckily didn't walk into Mattheo. Draco and I said our goodnights and went into our own rooms. When I walked into mine, I saw Mattheo sitting on his bed. His hand had dried-up blood on it and his face as well. I was so angry with him. Why the hell would he hit Draco in the middle of a party? Why the hell would he hit Draco at all? And so, I asked him. 'Why the hell would you do that to Draco?!' 'What do you care, Y/N?' 'Maybe I care, because I like him and I was making out with him, before you ended up punching him in the face!' 'Yeah, well he deserved it!''Why would he deserve it Mattheo?! What the hell did he do to you, that he deserved to be punched in the face?! And why the hell would you tell him to stay away from me?!' 'Well he's an asshole who I don't trust and you should stay away from him! He's no good for you!' 'Well maybe I can make that up for myself. I thought you were my best friend Mattheo. You should be happy for me, that I found a guy I like. Not be fucking angry with me!' 'I am your best friend Y/N and that's why I'm telling you, that you should stay away from him.' 'Well tough luck, because that's not going to happen. We're going on a date soon and you're not going to do anything to ruin that!' 'Oh hell not. You're not going on a date with him!' 'Yes, I am and you can't do anything about it.' 'I sure can and I will do something about it.' Mattheo said while walking towards the door. Before he could open it, I told him one last thing: 'Mattheo, if you do anything to ruin this for me, then I don't want to see or talk to you for at least a while!' He turned around shocked: 'You don't mean that, Y/N.' 'Yeah, I do. You should be my friend, not my enemy, so make the right choice. I'm going to stay in Pancy's room for the night and I hope that you've make the right choice in the morning. Goodnight.' And with that I walked out of the room.
