Emerald

Hurricane Thea

The party has already started, but where's the fun in being on time? Fashionably late is always the way to go.

I get to the top of the stairs and like clockwork, everyone's eyes are on me. I spot Adrian in the crowd, he's next to Mattheo who has noticed I'm making eye contact with Adrian. I give Adrian a wink and start to walk down.

As I reach the bottom of the stairs I'm greeted by Pansy, "You look insanely hot right now!?"

"Thank you, so do you!" I laugh, "Let's get some drinks".

We make our way over to the bar and I grab a bottle of fire whisky and tell Pansy I'm going to go dance. As I'm dancing I feel some hands on my hips.

"Found you" Adrian chuckles in my ear.

I spin around to face him while his hands are still holding me.

"You look absolutely gorgeous, you should wear red more often" He smirks.

"You look pretty good yourself Pucey" I say while one of my hands land on his chest, I bring the bottle to my lips with the other.

I can feel Mattheo's eyes on me, this is good.

I spot Thea in the crowd, she has Pucey wrapped around her. She's chosen a bottle of fire whisky straight, which can only been she's out for revenge.

Mattheo is burning a hole in Pucey's head with the look he's giving him. Astoria is draped across him and yet he still can't turn his attention away from Thea.

They've had a running joke for a while about this red dress, he bought it for her last year. She said she'd never wear it, he's been begging her ever since. This has revenge written all over it.

"Thea wants us to help her" Pansy says to me planting a kiss on my cheek.

"Pans we can't do that to Mattheo" I respond.

"Nothing bad, just spin the bottle of truth or dare" She says giving me puppy dog eyes.

"Fine" I wrap my arm around her and kiss her forehead.

Pansy and I eventually round everyone up including Thea and Pucey, and Mattheo and Astoria.

Thea has decided to sit on Pucey's lap, bold move. Astoria went to sit on Mattheo's but he swerved it. He hasn't taken his eyes off Thea yet.

"Spin the bottle" Pansy announces, "We all know the rules, I'll spin and whoever it lands on goes first".

Pansy spins the bottle and it lands on Blaise, Blaise spins and it lands on Daphne.

"Sorry Enzo" Blaise says as he plants a kiss on Daphne's cheek.

Daphne spins and it lands on Theodore. She grabs his head and kisses his forehead.

"This game is less fun with couples" Theodore laughs.

Theodore spins and it lands on Thea, Thea stands up and Theodore makes his way over. One hand is on the back of her head and the other is on her waist and he goes in for a deep kiss, she reciprocates.

I see Mattheo's has clench. Maybe there is no love potion? Usually people wouldn't even observe anyone else when they're under one.
