Number One Supporter | Y/n Potter x Mattheo Riddle

twenty : : spirit of shopping

A smile plastered onto my face I stumble through the window. Stacey looks to whilst continuing to put books away, "Where were you?" I go bright red, "I was nowhere." She still has that disappointed look on her face as she rolls her eyes. "One of these days your going to get caught," She reminds me. "I guess. Lucky today wasn't that day." 

"Oh?" Her face lights up slightly, "And why not." I feel my face growing redder again. "Nothing... I said nothing...." She smiles, "Oh yes, of course, nothing." Quickly she scurries closer, "...but if that nothing happened to be a tall curly haired boy...?" I faceplant onto my bed, "Goodnight Stacey." She squeals, "I knew it." Her voice changes and she soon sighs, "I knew it."

Confused I try to ignore it and get up to get changed as her eyes sadden again.

MATTHEOS POV:

With the yule ball coming up half the school took off to hogsmeade this morning to go shopping. Unfortunately I was one of them. I didn't intend on going to the ball, I wanted to go with Y/n but I'm nervous to ask, especially considering the boys. Nott isn't too fond of her and Berkshire thinks it'd stir trouble with the Weasleys. It's not just the boys though, I wonder would father will think, and if she'd think this'd all be weird  our years of rivalry. To be fair I kind of liked her a little then too.

I spot her in a tailors. She's holding up a beautiful corset ballgown. I walk into the store, her eye still glued to the dress. I grab a hold of a suit and look down at it for a moment to prevent suspicion. I smile slightly as she twirls holding the dress close to her chest. She notices me and blushes a little, turning away. I merely smile and look back at the suit sitting it back on the rack, then leaving the store to catch up to the others.

Y/Ns POV:

I turn to Thena and Stacey, quickly being turned away again with another dress. This one looked... decent. Better than the others they'd recommenced for me atleast. I step onto the pedestal holding the gown close to my chest. I twirl smiling to myself down at the waves in the skirt. Slightly, I stumble back and I laugh at myself before noticing Riddle standing opposite me. I quickly turn away flustered a little. Thena and Stacey try and peep through the clothing rack to see what or (more importantly) who I'd looked at but Mattheo had disappeared almost instantly.

Stepping down from the pedestal I smile again at the thought of last night. "Oooo, look who's finally gotten into the spirit of shopping," Stacey teases. "Who was it?" Thena asks. "No one, Just a thought," I respond, I mean I'm not lying. "Mhmm, sure," says Stacey sarcastically. I roll my eyes and we hover over the clothing rack as the other two try on more dresses.

Eventually the pair finish up and we head to a Jewellers and end in the Leaky cauldron. Taking a seat I look around and notice Mattheo once again. I quickly turn my head pretending I hadn't noticed him, and before I know it he approaches me all on his own. "Ladies..." "Hmm?" We turn back round to look at him. "There are a couple seats left at our table if you'd like," He offers before winking at me. I smile and Stacey of course notices. "Sure," she says nudging me.

Sitting down Theo scoffs and Berkshire starts batting his eyes at Thena. I laugh slightly at Enzos attempt as Lovegood blankly stares. "Where are the twins?" Nott speaks up. "Not here," I reply. "No shit," He mumbles before continuing, "Your loyal protector?" I sigh, "God, it was one time." "What was?" Stacey asks. "Before I introduced you to Bonnie I may... or may.... not... have nearly gotten... punched by.. Nott," I whisper parts. "You got pun-" "Theres more," I interupt, "Cedric, stepped in and caught the punch." Theo leans back in his seat pissed at the thought, Berkshire is still 'flirting' with Thena, I avoid eye contact, and Mattheo takes a sip of Butterbear not willing to speak.

"Huh!?" She yells. I close my eyes tilting my head away from the table, "Mhmm." I look back to the lot, "We're all better... now.... though. Right?" I look at Mattheo who was already nodding. Then Mattheo looks to Berkshire who is still on cloud 9, then turning to Theo who reluctantly nods. I notice her take a deep breathe before agreeing too. "Alright," She says with a nod.
