Beautifully Forbidden

Chapter Five

Mattheo's P.O.V.

After the party is over we all head back to our dorms. I share a room with Jonathan and Marcus so I can finally ask Jonathan about going with Alexa. Once I'm done getting ready for bed I look over at Jonathan who's doing some last-minute homework. Marcus is still in the bathroom which means it's the perfect moment.

"Jo?" I speak up. He hums in response. 

"I found someone willing to take you to the Yule Ball." I smirk as he immediately turns all his attention on me. 

"Who?"

"My sister." 

"I thought she was off limits." He mutters, going back to his assignment. 

"She still is, but I'd rather if you take her instead of Zabini." I say. 

"I'll think about it." He says and I nod. 

**************

By the time I wake up the next morning both Jonathan and Marcus are gone. I groan as I get up and check the time. 10:32. Great, I have less than fifteen minutes to get ready for my date. 

I get out of bed and head to the bathroom, taking a quick shower before drying myself and putting on the first pair of trousers I see in front of me before grabbing a green T-shirt and wearing it. 

I look in the mirror. Not too bad. It's not like she'll care much. All girls only care about three things; looks, popularity and money. I have all of them. 

I grab my wand before running to where the grounds end and apparating outside of Three Broomsticks. 

My date is already waiting for me, her red hair is up in a ponytail which allows her whole face to be revealed, her blue eyes meet mine as I start to feel like oxygen no longer exists, it's like I'm drowning, air is no longer filling my lungs as it is replaced by the butterflies that have taken over not just my stomach but my whole body. 

I blink and take a deep breath before walking over to her. "Hey Rina." I smile as I take her hand and kiss it. "Mattheo." She smiles back, her gaze meeting mine as I stare nto her eyes.

I met Carina a few weeks ago, she's a year below me and McGonnagal asked me to tutor her in tranfiguration, I reluctantly agreed but when I saw her, I was determined this girl would be mine, no matter the cost. So I asked her on a date a few days ago and she agreed, I was thrilled, I decided to bring her here, this place is where I take every single girl I've ever gone on a first date with, it's sort of a tradition.

"Should we take a seat?" I suggest, she nods in response.

I take her to the nearest table and pull her seat out for her.

"Have you ever tried fire whiskey?" I ask.

She shakes her head negatively in response.

"Well, in that case you definitely have to try it." I stand up and go to the bar, ordering two glasses of firewhiskey before heading back to our table.

I hear the door behind me open but don't pay much attention to it as I try to make conversation with Carina.

"Hello there, little brother."

Fuck, it's Tom.

"Hey Tom." I turn around, only to see him standing infront of me. I get up.

"As much as I'd love to get to know that little date of yours, we should have a little talk, alone."

"Of course." I smile as I turn to Carina. "I'll be back in a second."

With that I stand up and follow him outside.
