Tonight is new year's Eve. Most of the students are invited to the Slytherin common room for a party, except for the Gryffindors they despise. That includes Harry of course and the rest of my friends. Slytherin decided to host because indoor fireworks wouldn't be heard all the way in the dungeons. Luckily, they had invited Fred and George as the specialists.

Mattheo and I are going to attend together but I still don't know if we're an official thing. I have yet to pick an outfit from my trunk, sometimes I wish I had an endless option of dresses but I'm limited to the few I brought. Honestly, today, I didn't want to move off my bed, I was feeling far too lazy. Unfortunately I had to. I salvaged through my trunk looking for a suitable outfit, and I found just that. I found a sleek black dress with a slit on the side and thin straps. Paired with it was black elbow length gloves, pearls necklaces and black heels. It was perfect. I lay the outfit on my bed and dressed into my robes for class.

Transfiguration early in the morning is certainly not ideal, I just can't focus especially with McGonagall's voice talking me to sleep. Mattheo ran in late along with Draco and Theodore.
"I apologize for our delay Professor, it won't happen again," Mattheo said.
"It better not. May I ask why you are so late?" Asked McGonagall.
"We slept in," Theodore answered, rubbing his eye.
"We were planning something important until late last night." Draco blurted. Mattheo nugded him to shut up and they both sat down hastily.
"Very well, but please refrain from this behaviour again. 1 point from Slytherin for each of you, and only out of fairness." The boys nodded too tired to argue.

What on earth had them occupied so late into the night. I decided I would ask Theo later.
"What do you reckon they were really doing?" Enzo whispered. I shrugged,
"Maybe they really did sleep in."
"Or they were up to no good," Enzo suggested. I turned to him frowning,
"are you doubting my judgement?"
"On what?"
"Mattheo!" I whispered harshly, "I trust him Enzo."
"Okay okay, I'm sorry. Only joking." He patted my head and continued his work, what an oddball.

Classes seemed to end pretty quickly. I only got to say a few hellos to Mattheo since he seemed preoccupied most of the time, however he did say to meet him outside the Slytherin common room before the party. Still, his reluctantcy and avoidance didn't feel great, I could tell he was hiding something.

In the hall I passed Fred and George. I waved at them, "Hey boys, I heard you're doing fireworks tonight!"
"Big and bright! Pick a special dress Y/N," Fred said.
"And be on time too!" Added George.
"I will guys, I promise," I replied.
"You better!" They both yelled simultaneously. Aww twins are so cute, twin telepathy is definitely real. Fred and George were also being suspicious, but not as much as Mattheo. It didn't take any Sherlock skills to realize this had something to do with Mattheo and I.

So came time to get dressed for the party. I went back to the outfit I lay out on my bed and changed into it.
