The Riddles

•17

God knows how long we were dancing for. We were both so out of it. It's almost as if we got hypnotised by the music.

"I'm going to get drink. Do you want one?" Astoria asked, shouting over the music.

"Yes please. That'd be good thank you." I replied. She left me on the dance floor.

I continued to dance and I felt a presence behind me. I didn't think much of it, I just continued dancing. But there was then something on my waist. A pair of hands. I tried to take them off but they kept replacing them, the grip getting tighter each time.

"Get your hands off me!" I shouted at the random.

"It's okay baby. Let me enjoy the night." The person replied sounding sloppy.

"I said get your hands off me!" I said louder, again trying to remove his hands.

"You don't want to get me angry, dear." He started getting aggressive.

"Please stop!" I started to tear up.

"What you going to do about it?" He asked turning me around so I was facing him, a drunk ravenclaw.

"I'll, i'll kill you!" I said.

"A little girl like you isn't able to kill me." He said. He started to move his hands further down my body. I kept fighting but it was doing nothing.

"She might not be able to but we certainly can." A familiar voice said.

I felt his hands off me so I looked and saw Draco throwing punches at the Ravenclaw. Usually I would stop someone I know from fighting but that bastard deserves it.

Enzo picked Draco up and took him away to their dorm and Theo dragged the Ravenclaw out the party.

I left and went to my dorm. I just needed a break after all that.

I walked into the dorm, kicked my heals off and flopped onto the bed and started to cry.

Mattheo's POV
I saw that Y/N had left so I went to see her. I got to her dorm and knocked on the door. I didn't get a response so i went in.

I walked to her bed and I could hear her sobbing from under her covers.

I went and sat on the end of her bed.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked. "Do you want to talk about it?" She just sniffled in response.

"If you want to talk about it you know where you can find me." I said and walked towards her door.

"Wait. Please stay." She said, peeking her head from under the covers. I had to chuckle.

I walked back over to her bed and sat down.

"How you feeling?" I asked her.

"Like shit." She replied. "I tried to stop him. I really did Mattheo. Please don't get all mad that I let that happen. I really did try."

"Hey, hey." I pulled her into a hug. "I'm not mad. I am at that Ravenclaw but, i'm not mad at you. I know you tried to stop him."

"He just wouldn't listen and, and." She started crying even more.

"Shh, it's alright." I rubbed her back. "He's been dealt with. No need to worry."

"I don't what I would've done if you and the rest weren't there." She sniffled.

"That shouldn't be the case because you have a class with at least one of us in it. But don't worry. I know it will be hard to try put this to rest but you know you can.

"Yeah." It was silent for a bit. "Thank you." She spoke.

"It's my job as your older brother to make sure you're safe and protected." I told her.

"Yeah, I know." She smiled.

"I'll give you some space. I'm sorry that your party was ruined." I said.

"It's okay. It was great apart from that and you singing happy birthday infront of everyone." I laughed.

"That's another role of mine as your older brother; to embarrass you." I nudged her.

"Well it clearly worked didn't it." She spoke.

"You know where to find me and if you decide to come down then great, if not I completely understand." I told her.

"I'll see how I feel." She replied. I gave her a kiss in the forehead and walked out.

"If you don't come back down, i'll save some cake for you." I said.

"Thank you." She smiled. I smiled back and left.

Y/N POV
I felt a lot better after talking to Mattheo. He really does know how to cheer me up.

I should probably go and thank Draco for battering him. I put on a pair of slippers and walked to Draco's dorm.

I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. I walked in seeing him sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Oh Y/N. How you feeling?" He asked. I closed the door behind me.

"Better. How are you?" I asked. I noticed his hands were all bloody and bruised.

"I'm fine, thanks." He responded. "What are you doing here?"

"I just came to say thank you for helping me earlier." I spoke.

"Oh, it's no problem. I couldn't bare to watch my best friends younger sister being uncomfortable." He said.

I walked over and sat next to him. "Thank you." He smiled. "Are your hands okay?" I asked.

"Oh. Yeah. Don't worry it's just a small cut." He said looking down to his hands.

"Doesn't look like a small cut to me." I spoke.

"It's nothing, really." He said.

"Stop lying, Draco. Here, let me help clean you up. Where are all your bandages?" I said.

"We don't have any. The last ones were used up the other day." He admitted. I sighed in disbelief.

"Wait here. I have some in my dorm. I'll bring some back. Just give me a minute." I said. He nodded.

I came back with the first aid kit and sat back down on the bed.

All you could hear was the music from downstairs because of how loud it was. Hopefully no one is trying to sleep.

"Let's see your hands." I said. He stuck his hands out.

"Thanks." He said.

"It's alright." I smiled. "Now this might sting a touch but don't worry." I told him. I started to clean his cuts with an alcohol wipe. He didn't wince in pain at all. If i was him I'd be wincing at the pain.

He must be used to it. Once it was clean I then wrapped a bandage around his hands.

"You look like a boxer with your hands wrapped." I chuckled.

"Yeah. I do." He replied. The atmosphere was awkward. "Ehm, just remeber to change the bandage so it doesn't get infected." I stood up and walked away.

"Y/N." Draco called. "Thank you." He smiled. I smiled back and left.
