In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

Chapter 7

Night two. Sure to be a banger, the second night was always insane. I have to say, I was eager to look good, I had to get him to break this silence. If I wore something too relieving, all the boys would speak up, like I said body guards. So I made sure thats exactly what I did.

I threw on a mini skirt, these muggle clothes are all so small. I paired it with a plain white shirt, with a little bit of a v-neck. "Merlins beard! Hell definitely say something now!" Pansy said as I turned around.

"I told you I don't care if he does, or doesn't. I just need to know why out of no where he can't even look at me!" I said, you could clearly see how annoyed I was.

"Oh I think everyone will be looking at you Malfoy!" I rolled my eyes asked if she was ready, and we headed out.

Fashionably late of course, we turned the corner into the common room, which was twice as packed as it was yesterday. I scanned the boys, and decided it was best to grab a drink or 4 before I had to hear their bitching. And thats exactly what I did.

Pansy and I did not hesitate to throw a few back, pouring a large cup and let out a big sigh of disgust. "Okay I'm ready I think?" Pansy laughed at how scared I was to walk over. I never got nervous, ever.

"after you then!" I grabbed her hand and headed towards their table.

"Hello there Amel-" Theo started to say, met by a slap to his chest by none other than brother of the year.

"i don't think so" Enzo snarled

"Im begging you to change right now Amelia, this outfit is a disgrace!" Draco pleaded

"I don't think I will boys, and hello Theo" I said laughing

"Don't even think for a second you are leaving any of our sights tonight" Blaise said very firmly. He always tried to be scary, but it never worked.

"Oh I wouldn't dream of it blaisey!" I giggled, taking to the sofa across from Mattheo.

Regulus threw a pillow at me, motioning to lay it on my lap, but I put it behind my back as he just shook his head at me.

I lifted my drink to my lips, staring at the broad shoulder boy sitting across from me, who certainly was looking at me now. Yet not a comment from him. Interesting.

Ive never seen this look from him before, he looked agitated, possibly. But that gave me great satisfaction.

Mission accomplished.

I stood up, needing another drink as now my nerves were setting in. Now that I had him looking at me, I had no idea what to do next.

"where could you possibly think your going?" Draco said, eager to hear my response.

"Im a bit thirsty, brother if you don't mind." Attitude spewed.

"Not at all, lets go grab a drink!" My baby sitters were not going to give me a break tonight.

"would you care to enlighten me on what the fuck this outfit is an attempt at? I certainly hope its not to get a rise out of riddle, you'll look stupid by the end of the night if it is"

I rolled my eyes, "not at all! Just trying out some new looks, ill never do this one again clearly."

"yeah clearly" he said wide eyed

I threw another shot back and motioned for him to take one with me, I truly didn't like fighting with him, he just wasn't the brother I used to know. We took one together and made our way back to the couches.

"well if poor little Amelia is bound to this table tonight, can we have a little fun here?" Pansy pleaded.

This seemed to grab Mattheo's attention. The most emotion I've seen out of him in the last twenty four hours.

"What do you have in mind then?" Regulus asked, overly excited to play anything.

"Truth or dare" I smirked, gazing at everyones reactions.

They all seemed very up for it, I even heard a chuckle from Mattheo as he sipped on his drink.

"I like this one! Amelia you first, go on!" Pansy shouted, she loved this game because each go around she would hope someone dared her to kiss draco.

Everyone also loved this game because if you picked truth, you had to take a slug of truth serum, made sure no one dare to tell a lie.

Now I've got him. I pretended to scan the room for some one to pick, very well knowing my next move.

"Riddle.. truth or dare?"
