In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 25

We were interrupted by the group meeting back up with us. Well not really interrupted. We were sitting at the nearest table, with our homework spread on the table, getting lost in conversation about potions. The only thing that had to be adjusted was my hand placement, and then we looked completely normal.

He was a lot smarter than he let on, hell he even taught me a few things. Who would've known.

Before they came in, we realized meeting at the tower tonight could never work, everyone would be at the common room party, so for both of us to sneak past them would be next to impossible. We decided to just see each other at the party, then sneak up to his room when we got a chance.

Knowing how crazy Mattheo is, I decided to tease him with the smallest dress I could find. I loved seeing him go absolutely mad, as long as it meant no one getting knocked out.

Pansy and I headed down to the party, "That is one short dress Malfoy! I don't think the boys will be letting you out of their sight tonight!" She was shocked.

"when do they ever?" I laughed it off. But little did she know that was exactly what I wanted.

We turned into the party, and I was quite overwhelmed with the amount of Hufflepuff's there. I mean, we had our soft spots for them, but this was still a lot.

I usually had a straight view, but for once I couldn't find any of the boys. So I found my self to the drink table, while pansy set iff to find them.

Just as I was pouring my drink, I felt someone brush very close to me, "you've got to be insane in that dress right now." Someone growled at me, I turned and was delighted to see my Mattheo.

I shot him a smirk, "glad you like it love."

"you have no idea the things I'm going to do to you later." He whispered to me.

"Down now riddle." I flipped my hair in his direction and strutted away, knowing his eyes were only going to one place.

We took our usual seats on the couch and from the look all the boys gave me, I knew I wasn't leaving this couch tonight, not even for a refill.

"truth or dare anyone?" Pansy suggested.

I panicked. I knew I couldn't do truth, due to the serum, but I knew I couldn't do dare because if I touched anyone else Mattheo would flip the fuck out.

Everyone nodded. I prayed Mattheo didn't pick dare, I couldn't see him touch anyone else. This whole game was a recipe for disaster.

"ill go first!" Pansy shouted. "amelia truth or dare?"

Ah fuck me.

I seen Mattheos jaw clench up, I tried to play it cool.

"truth" I sighed, taking a sip of the potion. Begging my self not to expose myself.

"Did you really fall by the toilet, or is a boy responsible for the state of your back right now?" She smirked. This evil bitch.

I made sure to not look in Mattheo's direction, all the boys looked at me with daggers, awaiting my answer.

"i didn't fall by the toilet." I mumbled looking at the floor.

"Amelia what the fuck!" Draco yelled "who the fuck are you with?!"

"You never leave our sight how is this possible?!" Theo questioned

"He's a dead man!" Enzo screamed.

"Yeah a dead man!" Mattheo added, mockingly. Smooth.

"Oh shut it boys. I'm a big girl, I can do things without you lot knowing. Its fine I promise."

They all just starred at me, this was going to be hard.

"My Turn!" I yelled, "Brother, truth or dare!"

"ugh you witt, truth" as he slugged his potion.

"Do you miss me, brother?" I smirked.

"Of course I miss you, you were my best friend. But you'll never let me in again." He sighed. I knew he missed me I just wanted to hear it.

"Okay this just got too deep!" Enzo tried to divert the situation, "riddle truth or dare!"

I seen his face drop.

Please pick truth, please pick truth. I cannot punch another bitch tonight.

"Truth" I heard him say while sipping his cup

"Is it true that the person you fancy is in this room right now?" He laughed.

They couldn't know anything. I was paranoid.

"Yes, she is" he said lowering his cup down, shooting a look over at me, that luckily went over everyones head.

The game continued, and made me realize just how stupid boys really are. Finally I couldn't help but notice Theo had slipped up the girls dorm stairs with a random whore for the night. I wasted no time. I brushed arms with mattheo as a wished everyone a good night, and darted for the boys stairs.
