Dangerous Love | Slytherin Boys X Reader

[6]

The sun shines through the window, I never went to bed. I couldn't. The more I thought about going to bed, the more I thought about waking up to see Romeo dead. I stand up, stretching before I feel eyes on me, "Who's there?" There's no reply. I look around to see no one around and I look at Romeo balled up on the couch, sleeping peacefully. I decide to leave him be as I yawn and leave the common room.

I decide to walk for a bit, ending up at the way I had gone to my first glass. I step onto the grass, deciding to sit down behind a pillar, crossing my legs, "I think I like him." I smile as I play with the grass by my feet. After a couple of minutes, I decide to head to the great hall to see if anyone else is awake. I make it to the great hall and cross my fingers as I look inside. 

I smile when my eyes land on Harry, sitting with his friends. I walk over to them, "Hey Harry, Ron, Hermione."I sit down next to Hermione, across from the two boys as Harry speaks, "Hey, (y/n)." I feel my cheeks get warm when he says my name and my smile deepens, "How have you guys been?" Ron looks a me, a cheeky grin on his face, "We're alright," he playfully nudges Harry, "But Harry had a restless night." Harry looks at him, "Ron-!"

Hermione and Ron laugh, "Why don't you ask her, mate?" Harry looks at Ron, sighing before he looks back at me, "Come with me." I stand and he leads me out of the room, stopping me once we get outside. I lean against the wall as he stands in front of me and begins speaking, "Okay, I... I wanted to do this in a better way, but, here goes... (y/n) Stone... I like you." I smile, "I think I like you, too" His eyes widen and he looks me dead in the eyes, "Really?"

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Draco walking over and I decide to kill two birds with one stone, "There's only one way to find out~" I grasp his shoulders, pulling him closer to me before I move my hands to the sides of his face and kiss him, my eyes closing. He seems shocked at first, but after a moment, he places his hands on my hips and kisses me back. After a moment, he breaks the kiss, "So, you'll be my girlfriend?" I smile, nodding and that causes him to  yell, "Yes!"

I giggle and he takes my hand, leading me back into the great hall. As we walk back to Ron and Hermione, I look over to see Malfoy staring daggers at both of us. Before we can sit down, Ron and Hermione stand and Ron speaks, "Way to go, stud." Harry chuckles, "Yeah, sure." Hermione looks at Harry and I, concerned, "Draco looks furious." I sigh, "He's always acting like he's eaten a vomit flavored jellybean." All three look between themselves, then at me.

I walk with Harry, Ron, and Hermione to our class: defense against the dark arts. There is a rather large stand up cabinet in the room, and it moves every now and then. The teacher walks in, "Good morning, class! My name is professor Lupin. He walks over infront of the cabinet and the closet, putting his hands behind his back, "And that," he looks behind him for a moment, "Is a boggart." He clears his throat, "Now, can anyone tell me what make a boggart so terrifying?"

Hermione speaks up, "Nobody knows what they really look like. They take the form of the thing that someone fears most." Professor Lupin smiles, "Very good! Yes, very good." He removes his hands from behind him, "Now, there's only one way to fight off a boggart, let's practice it now," he pauses a moment, "Uh, without wands, please." He says the word 'ridiculus.', and the class repeats it.

The professor smiles, "Yes, that's it, now, let's get a volunteer..." he looks through the crowd, "Ah, miss Stone, why don't you come up here?" My eyes widen, and before I can protest, I'm being nudged and shoved up to the front, "H-hello..." He softly smiles as he speaks, "What are you most afraid of?" The first thing that comes to mind is my father, and everyone finding out about him, "I'd probably have to say Draco, if he had a period." I lied, although that would be scary. The class begins to laugh when the professor says, "That would be scary, indeed."

He walks over to the cabinet, "Now, I want you to try and think of a way to make that funny to you." He unlocks the cabinet and nothing happens for what feels like forever. Just when I'm about to say I give up, A tall man emerges from the cabinet. He is about the height of a fourth year student, wearing a long black robe, and his face is nonexistent. My eyes widen, and my hands begin to shake, I can't even retrieve  my wand from my robe. I feel tears well up in my eyes and I can see that the teacher is about to step in when Ron slides in front of me. The boggart turns into a giant spider.

Once I'm freed from my position in front of the boggart, Ron turns to face me, confusion on his face, and I stammer for a moment before I run out of the room. I hear Harry call out my name as I run, but I don't want him to see me like this. I run until I find myself in the library. Heading into a part of the room that has no people, I fall to the floor, my back against the wall as I pull my legs up to my chest. I cry into my knees, "Why did it have to be him?!... Why him...?"

I hear footsteps coming in my direction, and I hush my sobs as best as I can, wiping my tears away. A boy rounds the corner, he has short brown hair and a small scar on his eyebrow, "Hey, is everything alright?" I wipe away the still falling tears away, "Yeah, I mean, it was just a stupid boggart, right?" I fake a laugh and he slowly walks over to me, squatting in front of me, "I guess so, but that seemed pretty serious." I fake a smile, quickly dropping it, "Yeah... it was..."

He gives a slightly nervous chuckle, "You're the new girl, right? (y/n) Stone?" I look at the ground, "Yeah..." I look up at him and he smiles a little. The next words out of his mouth changed everything.

"I'm Mattheo Riddle."
