"We should probably get ready now. I bet the others are already waiting in the common room." Mattheo says as he gently strokes your hair while your head is on his chest. It's Sunday, December 1st, and just like every other Sunday, you go out for brunch at Leo's. You love this tradition because it gives you a chance to sit down and relax with all the people you care most about before the week starts again. As you're lying in bed and cuddling, you hear your phone buzz on your nightstand. "I think that's Pansy. We really have to get up." you say and slowly get up. The both of you quickly get ready and head to the common room.

"You made it out!" Pansy cheers loudly. "I told you they were coming." Enzo says, defending the both of you. "Sorry we're late." you apologise as Mattheo and you hastily join the group and head towards Hogsmeade. "I bet you two were busy, huh?" Draco says and winks at Mattheo. "Shut up, Malfoy." Mattheo says, rolling his eyes. You lock eyes with Pansy. You slightly shake your head at her, and she looks at you with surprise and keeps walking. You know what she's thinking. 'How is it possible that Mattheo and Y/N haven't slept with each other after three months?' Of course, you sleep in the same bed every night, but nothing other than actual sleeping has happened yet. It's not that you didn't want to, the mood just hasn't struck yet. Mattheo puts his arm around you as you walk through the streets of Hogsmeade and kisses you on the side of your head.

You sit down at your usual spot, where Leo has already spread out a beautiful brunch. "You amaze us every single time, Leo. This looks phenomenal!" you say and give him a big hug. "Anything for my children!" He smiles as he walks away. "So I was thinking-" Draco starts and takes a bite of the bread. "Don't think too much, bro. You'll hurt yourself." Blaise says, and everyone laughs. "Ha ha. As I was saying, we should throw a party soon." Draco says and continues eating. "I'm down. That Hufflepuff party a few weeks ago wasn't it. It's our turn." Theo says as he fills his plate up with as much food as he possibly can. "You were high the entire night, of course it was boring." you say and raise an eyebrow at him. "Hey, at least I wasn't tripping on acid like your boyfriend over there. Acid king my *ss." Theo immediately scoffs. "Come on, I-" Mattheo gets up, ready to defend himself, but you quickly shush him. "It's okay, baby. Just sit down. We know." you stroke his back and give him a consoling kiss on his cheek. He does as you say. Enzo pulls out his phone and plays the sound of a whip. "Whipped." Everyone bursts out laughing, and you struggle to keep yours in. "Alright, let's go." Mattheo gets up with a straight look on his face, ready to fight. "No thank you, I'm good." Enzo gets up and hides behind Blaise's chair. Everyone continues laughing, the boys calm down, and you all enjoy a nice brunch.

Leo walks out with the pastries as everyone is talking with each other. "You know, we should go visit your mother and Mrs. Pritchard soon." you say to Mattheo as you lay your head on his shoulder. "We'll go next weekend. Mrs. Pritchard would love to see you again." Mattheo says and kisses you on the top of your head. "Evelyn? Why would you want to visit that woman?" Leo says, frustrated at the thought of her, as he throws down the platter filled with desserts. You're startled by the loud bang and carefully turn towards Mattheo with big eyes. "I told you, they do not like each other." Mattheo whispers in your ear. "Come on, Leo, she's really nice! She actually reminds me of you..." You say quietly, scared of his big reactions. "What? I am nothing like that crazy woman!" Leo scoffs and crosses his arms. "Did something happen between the two of you or something? Why do you hate her so much?" You ask him with genuine concern. "Don't worry about it. I just don't like her." he says and walks off. "Should we bring Mrs. Pritchard to brunch next week? Or am I just insane for even suggesting it?" You quietly ask Mattheo. "You can try, but I don't think you'll convince Mrs. Pritchard to come here." Mattheo explains. "I have my ways." you say with a mischievous smile. "Alright Princess, if you say so." Mattheo kisses you. "Get a room." Theo says from across the table. Mattheo flips him off, and you all finish eating.
