Delicate - Mattheo Riddle

weed

"I swear to god this food gets better every year." Ron said digging into his chicken.

"Yeah. I guess." Hermione uttered under her breath. Her eyes steady and fixated on the food. Maybe Hermione still wasn't over the whole elf labor thing.

"Elle? You've barely touched your food." She added. I looked down at empty plate. The glistening of the clean glass sent a trickle down my spine.

"Not really hungry I guess." That was a lie I was starving. But of course, I wasn't going to admit that. I never did

"Heyyyy" Enzo's voice interrupted my thoughts. He slid in besides me on the bench. His eyes red and his mouth curved into a mesmerized smile.

"Enzo, your high." I rolled my eyes but smiled as well.

He never failed to make me smile.

"Mayyybeeee." He smiled. "Ron, Harry, Hermione, how you doooo." Hermione giggled.

"Good." She rolled her eyes as well and looked at me with a look on her face that made me laugh as well. Harry and Ron smiled at him. I liked how they all got along despite the difference in houses.

"Ran into your friend on the train earlier." I told him. He and Hermione looked at me oddly.

"Who?" They both said at the same time.

"Woah, you said that without dragging out the letters." I giggled, but it quickly died with the look on Enzo's face. He looked, concerned? Almost Angry.

"Who, Elle?" He seemed pretty serious.

"Uhm. Riddle." I spoke pretty calmly but by the look on Hermione face I could've just yelled 'Fuck me Riddle!' at the top of my lungs.

"Elle! He's bad new and you know it."Her breath was sharp, like ice shards.

"She's not wrong." Enzo added.

"What? He's your friend."

"Yeah he's also a shithead. Wait. You've never met my friends before huh?" He questioned.

"No, I guess not." He suddenly grabbed my arm and dragged me up. His hard grip on my arm made it hard to resist him dragging me to the Slytherin table.

"Enzo! The fuck I don't want to-" I couldn't answer before he sat me down in front of all the Slytherins. All of my brothers friends or what not. Every one of them looking at me like I had 6 eyes and and three noses.

"This is my sister Elle by the way." He said chewing on his food again.

"What's she doing here?" Draco exclaimed gazing at my Gryffindor patch with disgust plastered on his face.

"Intimidated Malfoy?" I said with a cold face and a cheeky smile.

"Never." He added.

"Apologies for them." A girl with short black hair and bright green eyes beamed at me. "I'm Pansy Parkinson." She had pretty freckles and short bangs falling just above her eyebrows. Her nose was small and her lips glossed. She looked perfect.

"This is Blaise Zabini..." She pointed to a very tall boy with dark skin and short black hair. His expression dark and pale.

"Daphne Greengrass..."A long blonde girl with somewhat hazel eyes eyed me a little oddly. Making sure to study me up and down.

"Theo Nott, Draco, and Mattheo Riddle." The same dark haired boy smoking a cigarette winked at me as Pansy said his name.

I rolled my eyes and scoffed. What a suck up.

"We've met." I add without any sort of remorse.

She looked between the two of us confused.

"Nice to meet the rest of you." I grinned coldly. I wasn't going to let them see any sort of weakness between me. I knew that's the kind of people they were.

"Aren't you dating that Loteman dude?" Blaise pointed out. Pointing at me with his oddly long index finger.

"Isaac? Yeah." Everyone looked at me surprisingly."What?" I looked to Pansy for an answer. She just looked to the rest of them.

"Nothing. Just- Nevermind."

Whatever, Like I cared what they had to say about MY boyfriend. I noticed Enzo hadn't said anything. I turned to see my brother fast asleep against his food.

"Crackhead." I uttered.

"Sure is when he takes weed. Think it's a whole Berkshire family thing?" Malfoy said like I wasn't there. Laughing and talking to Draco.

"I can handle weed better than him." I scoffed.

"Sure you can sweetheart." Mattheo laughed, still smoking. Which I was surprised no professors noticed yet. I leaned forward making sure to show my cleavage as I grabbed his cig and took a hit.

"Fuck you." I smiled. He was smiling, but not at my face. In fact he was looking anywhere but my face. I tried to ignore it. I was trying to evoke him. It was working.

Pansy smiled. "Wanna come to our welcoming party tonight Elle?"

"Fuck no." Draco spat.

"Why the fuck not?"

"Slytherins only."

"Bullshit! You're inviting that Ravenclaw chick." She slammed her hands on the table violently.

"Different story." I smiled at his response to that comment.

"I'll be there." I said, She smiled.

"Alright! Meet me at my dorm room to get ready around 8:00. Room 1244"

"Sounds great." I grinned.

"See you there Gryffindor." Mattheo smirked, leaving an odd mix of butterflies and disgust lingering in my stomach.

I took one last hit and dropped Mattheos cigarette in his juice. Flipping him off, I walked back to the gryffindor table.

Piece of shit.
