In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

Chapter 9

We sat in silence. For a while. I don't think either of us knew what to say or do next.

My legs, still draped over his. His hand placed on my thigh. It felt as if years had passed.

It had to be about 3 or 4 in the morning now. Finally I looked over at him. He was still staring down. I've never seen the look he had on his face before. He looked satisfied, but disappointed all at the same time.

He gently moved my legs off of his, let out a deep sigh, "off to bed now, you" I looked up at him confused.

"Alright then?" I questioned, standing up next to him.

"Not a single word of this to a living soul, Amelia." He said very sternly, finger pointed in my face. The fingers he just had inside of me. Eyes so narrow. I felt even more confused, but I didn't want to look it. I wanted to play his game, whatever the game was.

"I wouldn't dream of it, Riddle." I spat out, and marched straight upstairs.

My dorm was empty, I wondered how it was I beat Pansy here, I changed my clothes and washed up.

Once again, I found my self staring at my ceiling, wondering what the literal fuck I had just gotten myself into. This was so unlike me. What if people found out? What would they say? What if DRACO found out? What would he DO? My head was spinning.

Most importantly, did I just enjoy what happen? No. Impossible. It was a one and done. Never to be done again. I couldn't let my brain go there, I wouldn't allow it.

Who knew he had it in him, I mean duh. He wasn't arrogant for no reason.

If he didn't speak to me after a kiss, I couldn't imagine what he would do now. I certainly wasn't looking forward to it.

At some point I must've fallen asleep, I woke to pansy throwing a pillow in my face telling me if I don't get up now ill miss breakfast before the first day of classes.

I jumped up, ran to get my self ready, when she started.

"How long did you stay for? When I left there wasn't many people left with you? Any luck Malfoy?" She started her interrogation.

"Nope no luck!" I said shakily, trying to avoid eye contact, showing my shirt on to hide some clear marks that would say other wise. "I left right after you, been asleep ever since!"

"Interesting, considering your up with the owls and I physically had force you awake this morning." She said with a chuckle.

"Just out of it I guess! Consumed a lot these past two nights, suppose it just caught up to me" I shook it off, "We have potions together first yes?" I said dying to change the conversation.

"Yes we do, lets go" she explained, grabbing her books and heading for the door.

I followed, "do you happen to know if anyone else is in that class with us?" I said trying to seem like it was just conversation.

"Yes! We actually have it with Blaise, Theo and Mattheo" she said with a wink.

My heart sank. After just a few hours ago, I did not think I would be looking at him again so soon. I tried to brush off her reply and when we finally made (Very late) to the great hall, we could only grab food you could eat while running across a castle, which didn't leave much.

We finally reached Snapes classroom, 7 minutes late. Luckily for us we were Slytherins, so this would just be a slap on the wrist.

"Malfoy, Parkinson, you're late" he said in his deadly tone.

The whole classroom turned to see us walk in.

"Sorry sir, woke up a tad late" I tried to reply as sincerely as possible.

"Sit." So monotone, ugh what a fun term this will be.

We grabbed the only seats left, conveniently at the same station as the boys, who had their backs to us.

I scanned the room to see who else was in this class. I spotted Ron and Harry, and gave them a quick wave. Unlike my brother, I was kind and didn't care about where people came from. They waved back happily, almost shocked I was late.

It was a very boring class and no time for chit chats. Snape went on and on about what well be brewing this term, never to touch his personal staff, blah blah blah. Finally we were excused and the boys turned to face us.

"Well, well, well, lets not make this a habit?" Theo shot at me, "after-all you're the only reason I pass my classes, you can't miss a thing"

"of course not boss!" I laughed it off, he wasn't wrong, he was dumber than a box of nails when it came to school. however, I think it was just laziness.

We all stood up to make it to our next classes.

"Made it home alright?" He said brushing my shoulder

"Cleary Theo, I'm standing aren't I?"

I heard a scoff from Mattheo, luckily only I heard it.

Dangerous. 

"I mean yes, but you were late which isn't like you missy" he sounded stern.

"I assure you, I'm just a little hung over, I went straight to my room after you left." He finally let it go.

"Defense against the dark arts anyone?" Blaise asked

"Yup!" I and another voice spoke at the same time, and just my luck, it was none other than Mattheo.

It was going to be a long term.
