"We were just finishing up shopping for the ball when we heard an explosion and people screaming. We saw people storm out the bank and that's when we hid inside a shop..... I couldn't even tell you what shop it was now." Pansy says, telling our story to Dumbledore, Remus, and a few Aurors were also present. "Once we hid in the shop a man was in there, it startled the two of us and we ran out. We ran right into the Death Eaters before we got back here and landed in the courtyard where Professor Snape and Professor Black found us." Pansy continues on, she squeezes Deans hand and looks down to him. Madame Pomfrey stood next to my bed in the infirmary as she cleaned up the cut on my head, Pansy was seated in a bed next to me with Dean holding her hand. Her arm was pretty cut up from glass and debris flying around after a spell just barely missed our heads. Madame Pomfrey puts a bandage on my head for now, Remus walks over with his arms crossed over his chest. "You okay kid?" He ask me, sitting down on the side of my bed. I nod my head and play with the bottom of my shirt, "Just a bit of a headache." I admit to him.He nods his head, he leans over to kiss the top of my head. He pats my leg before getting off my bed to talk with Dumbledore. The doors to the infirmary swing open and the boys stood there out of breath. "Gentlemen you can see the girls once we finish our discussion." Dumbledore snaps at them, Mattheo was the one who pushed up the doors and rushed over to me, ignoring Dumbledores words. "Love are you okay?" He ask me, cupping my cheeks lightly, looking at my bandaged forehead. I give him a smile and nod, "I'm fine, nothing to serious." I tell him, he sighs and kisses my cheek. He sits down on my bed and pulls me into his lap and wraps his arms around my waist. "Crabbe told us as soon as we got back to our room." Theodore says, pulling back from giving Pansy a hug and walking over to me. "We're fine, just cut up. The spell just barely missed our heads." I admit, pulling Theo into a hug. And giving the rest of the boys a hug, Tom stood back from everyone with his hands shoved into his pockets. "Did something happen?" I whisper to Mattheo after the boys settled in and Dumbledore accepted they weren't going anywhere. Mattheo looks over to his brother who was staring at the ground, "I don't think he got much sleep last night, bit of a zombie right now." Mattheo lies to me, keeping me close to his chest. We all quiet down while one of the Aurors finishes writing his report. "You girls are free to go, no need to stay here." Madame Pomfrey tells us, cleaning up the infirmary now. I lift my head off Mattheo's chest and he grabs my hand, "Let's go smoke in the astronomy tower." I say once we walk out and reach the hallways. Theodore smirks at me and nods his head, "Now this is why you're my best friend, nothing can break your spirit." He smiles at me, looking around at everyone else. I look around and notice Tom isn't with us. I watch him round the corner and walk off, "I'll meet you guys up there, wait for me." I shout at them, running down the hall after Tom. "Tom." I call out to him, he doesn't even stop to acknowledge me. "Tom, stop." I snap at him, finally catching up to him and standing in front of him to stop him from walking. He glares down at me, clearly annoyed I stopped him. "Tom, what's wrong? You're acting strange." I say, his eyes stop on the bandage on my head. "Does it hurt?" He ask, avoiding my question. "I didn't even know it happened till after we got back to Hogwarts. My uncle was the one who pointed it out to me, bit of a headache but that's all." I tell him, pulling my hair back into a low ponytail. "Listen, I can clearly tell something is wrong. I don't want to push it but I want you to know you can talk to me and I'll be there to listen, alright?" I tell him, wrapping my arms around his neck which makes me stand on my toes. "Y/N, you know I don't like to be touched." Tom complains, "Asshole, I'm trying to be nice. Just give me a hug back." I chuckle, slapping his shoulder. He smiles and wraps his arms around my waist, "I appreciate you're concern, I'll be okay though." He tells me, I pull back first and place my hands on his forearms. "Please come hang out with us then, we're all just gonna relax. Seems like everyone needs it after today." I tell him, he contemplates the idea for a minute before he nods his head, "I'll come for a bit." Tom says, I smile and squeeze his arms. We make our way to the astronomy tower.

"Ahhh the queen as finally arrived." Blaise calls out, being the first one to spot me. I spot Theodore with the blunt already lit and in his hands, "You asshole. I told you to wait for me." I snap at him, walking over and shoving his shoulders. He smiles at me and holds the blunt out to me, "Better?" He ask me after I take a hit, I playfully roll my eyes at him and shake my head. "Oh Cmon princess, you know I have no self control." He tells me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I take another hit and blow the smoke in his face, "Still mad at you." I smile at him, watching Tom go take a seat next to Draco and Mattheo who sat on the concrete steps in the Tower. Enzo comes back up to the Tower with the radio and turns on a random station. I catch Mattheo's eye and he had a small smirk on his face, he leaned forward with his elbows resting on his knees and his hands pushed together. I pull away from Theodore and walk over to him, he sits straight up and I hold the blunt out to him. He leans back against the step behind him and I straddle his lap. "Please don't fuck each other right next to me." Draco says, leaning over to the two of us. I push his head away and roll my eyes, "I'll just go fuck him in my room later." I tell Draco, Mattheo chuckles and pushes the smoke out of his lungs. He sits back and just admires me, he winks at me before he hands the blunt over to Draco.

We spent the next four hours up at the tower, smoking and talking together. We all sat in silence and Pansy lifts her head off Deans lap, "So since death eaters broke into the bank does that mean your father is back? I've always heard rumors he was planning on making his return." Pansy ask the Mattheo and Tom. Mattheo lifts his head off my lap and sits up, "I don't know, I don't even remember him." Tom lies to her, glancing around at the boys. "No offense but you two are the dark lords son..." I say and point my finger at Tom and Mattheo, "And your dads were all death eaters as well..." I say, pointing over to Draco, Theodore, and Enzo. Blaise sits up from laying on the ground, "My family is clean in this mess. Just saying." He says and lays back down, I raise my eyebrow and giggle at the clearly very high Blaise. "Y/N we don't know anything, we never dealt with any of that. Think about it, we were all babies when the War happened." Theodore tells me, handing the blunt to me. I put my hands up in defense, "I'm just asking boys, I've heard Remus talking about it. He doesn't think the dark lord is dead, him and Dumbledore were discussing it when he tried to get me to change houses. That's the reason he didn't want me in Slytherin, because we're all evil." I say, wiggling my fingers around. Pansy and Dean were the only ones who laughed at me, "You never told us Remus tried to get you moved." Enzo says, sitting down across from me. "Oh yeah, right after the ceremony he tried to switch. Clearly I protested that and Dumbledore said it was set in stone, the hat choice where I went." I tell Enzo, looking down at Mattheo who laid his head back in my lap again. I softly run my fingers through his curls, "The more I hear about Lupin, the less I like him." Tom comments, shaking his head. I shrug my shoulders, "I don't know what to say. He's hot and cold with shit, very fucking annoying." I tell the boys, staring down into Mattheo's gorgeous brown eyes. He winks at me and makes my whole face go bright red, I turn my face away from him and attempt to hide my bright red face. Mattheo sits up quickly and pulls me into his lap, "Don't turn away from me, I want to stare at your beautiful face." Mattheo tells me, cupping my cheek with one hand and the other arm wrapped around my waist. "Whatever Mattheo." I tell him, playfully rolling my eyes at him. He gives me a small smile and cups my cheek in his hand, rubbing small circles with his thumb. "Be my girlfriend." Mattheo says, after a bit of silence between the two of us. My smile fades and I look at him in complete shock, "What?" I ask him quietly. "Be my girlfriend, we've said we belong to each other in the past. Why not make it official? I want you and you clearly want me since you never take your hands off of me." Mattheo teases, I lightly slap his chest. "Yes, I'll be you're girlfriend." I tell him, moving my hands to his cheeks. Mattheo doesn't waste a second and pulls my lips down to his, his tongue already in my mouth. "Riddle as a boyfriend, this should be interesting." I tease him, pulling back and laying my back against his chest. He protectively wraps his arm around my waist, "Black as a girlfriend, who would've thought." He teases me back, leaning down to peck my lips quickly. All our friends were talking amongst each other in their own little world, they had no clue what just transpired between Mattheo and I.
