The Brave Slytherin

The morning after

'Good morning Y/N. Did you sleep a bit okay?' Pansy asked the moment she noticed I was awake. She didn't completely know what happened, but she does know that I had a fight with Mattheo and she knows how much it hurt the last time I got into a fight with Mattheo. 'I didn't sleep much to be honest. I just don't know what to do with Mattheo.' I answered her. 'What was the fight about last night?' 'Mattheo wanted to decided who I can and can't go out with, when I told him I have a date with Draco. When he said that, I gave him a choice. He either ruins things between me and Draco, but I wouldn't want to talk or see him anymore for at least a little while or he treats me like his friend and he's going to be supportive. I just hope he makes the right choice, because I can't lose him, but I can't just let him decide my life. That's not why we're friends.' 'I think you did the right thing Y/N. But, why do you think Mattheo cares so much about you going on a date with Draco?' 'He told me it was because he doesn't trust Draco. I just don't know why. And it's not like he would have any reason to get mad about me going on a date, because he was hanging out with another one of his floozies last night.' 'Okay. Do you really like Draco?' 'I don't know. I never thought about Draco as something other than a friend, but I didn't hate the idea of going on a date with him. So, I thought why not.' 'Just be careful, okay Y/N? I don't know why Mattheo doesn't trust Draco, but he probably has his reasons.' 'Yeah, I will.' 

And with that I realized that I had to get ready for breakfast and I would have to go to my own room to get dressed. I kinda wanted to avoid my room and Mattheo a little bit longer, because than I won't have to make the possible decision of not seeing and talking to Mattheo anymore, but I have to. I have to face the situation and so, I walked over to my own room. The moment I stepped in, I made eyecontact with Mattheo, who was sitting on the ground against his bed facing the door. He immediately got up and started talking: 'I'm so sorry Y/N. I shouldn't have medled between you and Draco. I was drunk and I don't know what came over me.' 'Mattheo you punched him in the face. That's not just medling. That is deliberately hurting someone.' 'I know. I just got mad seeing you two together.' 'But, why?!' 'It's nothing.' 'It clearly is, Mattheo.' 'It's nothing, okay? But, I won't get mad anymore. I will be supportive of you. I still don't trust him, but if he makes you happy, then I'm happy as well.' 'You mean that?' 'Yeah, I do Y/N.' 'Okay, good. Because I would've hated to not see or talk to my best friend anymore.' And with that he gave me the same hug as he gave me on the train a couple weeks ago.
I hate that I don't know why he doesn't trust Draco, but at least he promised me to be supportive of me. He's not going to medle anymore and I have my best friend back. I'm definitely going to find out why he doesn't trust Draco, but for now, I'm going to enjoy this moment. 

After the hug, we both got ready for breakfast and we walked over to the great hall. When we got there, I sat down next to Draco and Mattheo sat opposite us. Neither of them spoke about what happened last night, but I guess that might be for the better. Draco faced me and his nose was black and blue from the punch, but the swelling had gone down a bit. 'Does it hurt a lot Draco?' I asked him. 'No, not too much. The swelling already went down. Now, it's just some color. So, about what we talked about. When do you want to go out?' He went straight to the date question. I looked over at Mattheo and he looked irritated, but he didn't say anything. He just ate his food. 'I don't know Draco, maybe tomorrow?' I responded. 'Sounds good. I'll pick you up at your room at 6.' 'Okay.' I said with a smile on my face. Tomorrow is the start of getting over Mattheo. I looked over at Mattheo one more time and now he was talking to Theo. This went a lot better, than I expected and I'm happy it went like this. 

After I ate some breakfast, I walked over to Hermione and asked her to walk with me. We walked into an empty room again and I told her all about what happened last night and this morning. At last I also told her I'm going on a date with Draco tomorrow. She was excited for me. She never really liked Draco, but she is happy for me, that I'm trying to move on. We talked about what I was going to wear and I told her I had no idea. So, we decided on going to Hogsmeade after class and getting a new outfit for tomorrow.
