_The Tension In Between Us_ 🥀🍷🏹 Mattheo Riddle

☆DANCE PARTNERS☆

In a graceful waltz, they twirl and sway,
Dance partners in rhythm, night and day..

Mattheo Riddle's Pov:-
Dance classes.... we had to attend fucking dance classes. Together. No one was supposed to know which students were selected. This was going to be announced on the day of the ball. Every day, all students have to take dance classes with Professor Mcgonagall until the ball, which was next week. And Yn and I also had to practice alone. This week was gonna be long.

Everyone made their way to the hall where Professor Mcgonagall was. I couldn't spot Yn in the crowd.

YN's Pov:-
I got ready to go to the great hall to attend Professor Mcgonagall's dance class. I was already late. I had to attend dance classes WITH Mattheo Fucking riddle for 2 weeks and ALSO had to go to the ball with him. If someone told me this was gonna happen a week ago, I would have believed they were on drugs on something, but choices had to be made. I couldn't just decline the offer to join the dueling competition. It was something one could dream of. To represent the school in one of the most biggest and most dangerous competitions, even if I had to participate with Voldemort's son himself.

" Yn Potter, we've been waiting for you." Professor Mcgonagall said. I didn't realise when I entered the hall.

"Yes. I am sorry for being late, I lost track of time."

" You must ensure this doesn't happen again, take a seat."

The setting of the hall was grand and enchanting. The Great Hall was transformed into a magical dance studio for the occasion. It was adorned with floating candles, elegant decorations, and a festive atmosphere. I took a seat at the girl's side of the hall where the chairs were lined. I was very late and all the students had already arrived there.

"So my dear students, as you know we all are gathered here today because of the upcoming farewell ball. A ball like the yule ball we had 2 years ago. If you didn't know already, I will be teaching you the basic formal dances, like the waltz and foxtrot...."

She went on to explain the competition and how 2 students were already selected, but they were to be announced at the ball.

Unsurprisingly, everyone turned their hard to look at Harry and his trio. By reading everyone's mind i had known everyone thought Harry was the one selected. Harry and Hermione. Of course, everyone has expected Harry to be the one selected. He won the triwizard competition after all... everyone except him. Riddle was sitting opposite to me, looking at me as though I was something to be deciphered .. a puzzle to be solved. Looked at me as though there was nothing and no one in the room except us.

" Ok, let's not jump into conclusion, everyone.... let's get started shall we? "

Everone went quite and Mattheo and I broke eye contact.

" I am going to make dance partners. It doesn't mean you're gonna have to go to the ball with them. Right now, it's just for practice as there isn't much time until the ball and most of you haven't asked anyone yet. "

My eyes and mind both roamed around the hall. People's thought were crazy but I had gotten used to them. I looked over at the section were the boys were sitting.

"Blaise and Pansy. Astoria and Neville" Professor Mcgonagall started reading out the list.

Everyone was thinking of asking someone out. To my horror that someone had mostly been me. The majority of boys were deliberating, asking me out. Goyle, blaise, the Weasly twins, and EVEN Theodore.

"Theodore and Hermione. Draco and Luna "

Averyone except for quite a few. Neville wanted to ask luna out but was nervous. I'd have to talk to Luna after all. Draco was obviously gonna ask Astoria ( poor boy, I know he's gonna get rejected), and Enzo was gonna ask Pansy. ( she had rejected many boys cause she wanted him to ask.) And ofcouse my brother wnatef to ask Ginny.

" Enzo and Ginny . Harry and Cho"

I zoned out again and blocked out whatever the professor was saying
My eyes skimmed over to Mattheo. He was still looking at Professor Mcgonagall. If only i could read his mind. He looked like a Greek god. Sculpted perfectly by God himself. I hated how I just wanted to stare at him forever, how my eyes could never get tired of looking at him, how he always made me feel powerless and how my knees felt weak when I looked at him.

" and lastly, Mattheo and Yn Potter "
