Betrayal

The Ring

A/N: A part of this chapter is based on TikTok Pov's I've seen. I don't know who to give credit for the original idea, so if any of you have an idea, just let me know. :)

'Good morning, sunshine.' I just opened my eyes and was met with an incredible headache and a smiling Pansy walking into the room. 'Good morning, Pansy.' 'How are you feeling babe?' 'I have a bit of a headache, but otherwise fine.' 'Mattheo said you would have one and it doesn't surprise me. You were quite drunk last night.' I looked at her questionably not having remembered the night before. 'Mattheo?' 'Yes, he brought you to your bed last night. You were drunk enough that you passed out before he even left the room.' Slowly the memories came flooding back. I did indeed have quite a lot to drink and that's why I ended up at the top of the Astronomy Tower. And that's where I talked with Mattheo about his father and where he called me love. At least I think he did. That part's a bit foggy. 'Are you really alright, babe?' Pansy asked me, since I hadn't spoken in several minutes, while trying to remember everything again. 'Yes... I was just thinking about last night.' 'I have to ask. Since Mattheo brought you to your bed and you both left sometime during the party, did something happen between you two?' 'What do you mean?' 'I mean... did something happen between you and Mattheo?' Pansy said again, but slowly this time with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on her face. Oh my god! She means if Mattheo and I hooked up. 'No, ofcourse not, we're just friends. And I... No... Nothing happened... Ofcourse not...' 'Stutter some more and maybe I'll believe you.' Pansy said while laughing. 'Pansy, really nothing happened between Mattheo and me. You have to believe me.' 'Relax, babe. I believe you. Would it be such a bad thing if something did happen between you two?' Did she really just say that? Pansy, of all people, asked if it would be a bad thing if something happened between me and Mattheo? Pansy, the person who has warned me about Mattheo since day one? 'I would think, you would think it would be bad.' I said looking at her with furrowed brows. 'I know, what I said before about Mattheo and I still think you should be careful, but he's a lot different than I thought he was at the beginning of the year. He's been really nice to you and just between you and me, you two would look cute together.' 'PANSY!' 'What?! You would. Don't tell me you've never thought about it.' 'I don't know...' I hadn't really thought about it before, until he supposedly called me 'love' last night. 'Well, even if you didn't, just think about it. Maybe, you two could turn into something more than just friends.' 'Don't give me false hope, Pansy. That won't happen.' 'Maybe it will.' 

While thinking about what could possibly happen between Mattheo and me, I got dressed for breakfast. I had to eat something before my headache would worsen. So, once I was dressed, I walked over to the Great Hall together with Pansy. Theo, Draco and Blaise were already sitting there, so we joined them at the table. 'Morning girls.' Draco said. 'Good morning, Draco.' Pansy responded. My headache was now worse than back in our dormroom, because of all the noise surrounding us, so I placed my arms on the table and laid my head down on top of them. 'Are you okay, Y/N?' Theo asked. 'She's fine. Just a bit hungover.' Pansy snickered. 'It's not funny, Pansy.' I responded angrily. 'It is a bit funny.' Blaise added. I lifted my head of my arms and glared at Blaise. 'Do you want to go there, Blaise?' I asked not blinking once while glaring at him. Blaise looked away immediately. 'No, ofcourse not. Sorry.' I saw Theo smirking at Blaise and wanting to say something. But, I stopped him before he could. 'I wouldn't say anything if I were you, Theo.' He raised his eyebrows and closed his mouth again, while I laid my head back down. 'Well, since you're so much fun to us, maybe he can make you a bit happier.' I lifted my head up to see what Draco was talking about. He jerked his head towards the entrance of the Great Hall. Mattheo was walking through it and was now on his way to the table. I looked over at Pansy, who was smiling at me. 'Good morning, everybody. How are you feeling, Y/N?' Mattheo had said once he reached our table. I turned around to look at him, but tried to avoid eye-contact. I just remembered, that Mattheo had lifted me to my bed all the way from the bottom of the Astronomy Tower and that was kind of embarrassing. 'I'm good. How about you?' 'Don't lie, Y/N. She's a mess Mattheo.' Theo said. I turned around to look at him with anger in my eyes. He immediately avoided my eyes and looked at his breakfast. Mattheo sat down next to me, while I turned to look at the plate of breakfast, that Pansy must have placed in front of me, while I was laying with my head on my arms earlier. 'What is Theo talking about, Y/N?' Mattheo said with a slight worry in his voice. 'Nothing. I just have a bit of a headache. That's it.' 'Yes, and an enormous amount of attitude.' Draco whispered underneath his breath. 'You want to repeat that louder, Draco?' 'No.' He said quietly. 'Good.' 'Does it hurt a lot?' Mattheo asked me. 'No, it's not too bad.' I lied. 'Well, let me help you either way. Leniens.' Mattheo had cast a spell at me and within seconds my headache faded away, until it was completely gone. I took a deep breath and smiled at him. 'Thank you, so much! How did you know what to do?' 'I read a lot, remember.' 'Ofcourse, makes sense.' 'But, glad you feel better.' Mattheo said with a smile. I smiled back before starting to finally eat my breakfast. While eating my breakfast, I looked over at Theo, Draco and Blaise. 'I'm sorry for how I reacted to you guys.' 'It's okay, Y/N. Now we know never to cross you when you were drunk the night before.' Theo said, trying me out to see if I was back to myself. 'Yes, well I'm not going to drink that much ever again. So, I think you'll be good for a long while.' I said with a little laugh following. With that little laugh the tension lifted of the group and everyone started to joke around and talk again like normally.
