ONE LAST TIME | Mattheo Riddle |

6-Friday Night

The rest of this first week goes pretty well, i spend most of my time studying or hanging out with friends or my brothers. I haven't seen Enzo that much since the incident though, i feel like he is distancing himself from me and it pains me. But now i have something to look forward to, that will take my mind off of things. Jacob told me slytherin was throwing a party this friday night to celebrate this new school year. Even if it's Slytherin only, i'm gonna go because my brother invited me and i do not care if i'm not welcomed, i need to party.

"Come on Hermione, come with me ! It's gonna be fun, i promise you won't regret it"

For the past thirty minutes, i've been trying to convice Hermione to come with me to the party.

"For the last time, no ! It's a 'slytherin' party and i need to study ! And i don't like parties"

"Who cares if it's a slytherin party ? A party is a party. And everyone likes to party Hermione. And it's a friday night, you're not gonna study on a friday night, come on !"

"I am !"

"Ugh fine. You're no fun"

"I don't care."

I sit on down on the couch, giving up.

"Okay, i'll go by myslef then"

"No"

I laugh surprised "What do you mean no ?"

"You're not going by yourself at a party. Even more if it's a slytherin one, god knows what could happen to you"

"It's just a party, nothing is gonna happen to me Hermione, relax." "Plus, my brother is gonna be there so i won't be completely alone."

"Fine, go if you want, but be careful please"

"I will, don't worry Hermione"

I smile at her reassuringly and she returns it.

I'm now getting ready for the party. I look at myself in the mirror, i'm wearing a black dress that my mom put in my suitcase without me noticing. Gosh i hate what i see. I never wear dresses or skirts for this particular reason. I take off the dress quickly and i want to take my eyes off of this fucking mirror but i can't. I just keep on looking at every flaws of my body. I feel my eyes watering again. Going to this party is going to be more difficult than i thought. I give up and put a pair of jeans with a crop top. I still don't feel comfortable but it's better than the dress at least.

I'm starting to overthink, and wondering if i'm not going to look like a clown wearing a plain outfit to a party. I put these thoughts aside and do my makeup and my hair. I put some hoop earings, a heart necklace that i found on the ground a few years ago and that i never took off, some rings and i'm ready to go. The outfit is not it but at least the rest is.

I arrive at the party, i sneaked in by following some slytherins. When i get inside, the whole place is dark, with flashes of lights. There are a lot of people, the place is full. I'm starting to get less confident to be on my own in this party. I'm usually the kind of person to stay home if no one is coming with me.

I spot my brother in the back with his friends and make my way to him.

"Hey, you came !"

"Yeah i did. This place is packed, i wasn't ready for that !" i try to yell over the loud music.

"It's a slytherin party my love ! No other way to do it" Says one of his friends. He's very tall, dirty blond hair and green eyes, and he has a very very cute smile with dimples.
