In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 15

I snuck my way back into my dorm.  Pansy, sound asleep. She was my absolute best friend in the world, yet she had no idea the events that have been taking place in my life, let alone with who.

I wanted to tell her, I really did. Hell, I'm sure I could even benefit from some advice on the matter. But I knew I couldn't tell a soul.

We weren't anything, for all I knew we wouldn't ever be. I don't think I ever wanted to be. It just happen. He was still an arrogant asshole, and I found my self having to constantly remind my self of this.

I drifted to sleep, still completely shocked at what I had just done.

When I woke up, pansy sat at the edge of my bed. "Care to tell me where the hell you've been the last 12 hours?" She had completely caught me off guard.

"I fell asleep in the library, I had to do me and Enzo's assignments, plus Theo's from yesterday and just fell out." I said, still processing waking up.

"Mhm. The Library?" She questioned, for all I know she could've been in the library all evening.

"Yes Pans, you know how I am with classes." I assured her, or at least I hoped I did.

"fine, fine! I just hope you know I'm always ears Lia." She said, making her way to the bathroom.

I couldn't help put throw my head back into the pillow. I couldn't tell her. No fucking way.

Luckily, it was weekend. Today was the first match. Slytherin against Gryffindor. The best starting game of the term. There was such a deep rivalry. The stadium went nuts, always. Plus I got to see all my friends from Gryffindor, while all the boys were on the field, and I was free to talk to who ever I please.

Pansy and I put on our house crewnecks and scarfs, and made our way to grab some breakfast before the match. The boys were already on the field, warming up.

On the way to the stadium, we ran into Hermione and Luna. I truly thought they were the nicest girls ever. A nice change of attitude from the Slytherin girls.

We decided to all sit next to each other, and catch up about summer, our classes this term and everything in-between.

As the game began and all the players made their way into the air, my eyes locked with his. Disrupted by Draco flying directly in front of him, shooting a big wave at me.

Idiot.

It was a very interesting, intense match. But like always, we won! What could I say, were very competitive.

"Better luck next time, Mione!" I said with a giggle.

"Oh shove it Malfoy, you guys always play dirty!" She laughed back.

"oh sure blame it on that! Well still see you at the party?" I asked her. She nodded and pansy and I made our way down to the field to celebrate with the boys.

"Did you see that Lia! In the nick of time I caught it!" Draco shouted, so excited.

I was always his biggest cheerleader, key word was.

"You guys all did brilliantly!" I shouted at them!

Boys will be boys, as the excited filled their bodies and they went absolutely nuts.  Throwing each other in the air, screaming like crazy people. But winning the first match of the year was a big one, and it meant one thing.

An even bigger party.
