dancing queens

Elwia, Astoria, and Pansy were standing in the Slytherin quidditch stands, cheering for Blaise, Adrian, Theo, and Malfoy. The tension in the air was real; it was now Slytherin 110 and Gryffindor 90. Blaise, Adrian, and the third chaser had been scoring goals as if their lives depended on it.

Elwia watched in awe as the chasers were swirling around in the air, passing the quaffle to each other. Elwia loved quidditch; she was the quidditch team captain of her house Ombrelune back in Beauxbatons and also played the position of chaser.

Suddenly, the crowd started chanting very loudly. Harry and Malfoy were flying up the autumn sky, chasing the golden snitch. It was a matter of seconds before they would know which house would win. The crowd went dead quiet, which made Elwia immediately hold her breath. She didn't see anything at first, but then the enormous cheers starting to erupt from the Slytherin stands made her realise they had won. Malfoy was holding the golden snitch in his right hand, showing it to everyone with a smug face. Astoria and Pansy were both yelling and whistling, which made Elwia allow herself to join them. It's not like she was cheering for Malfoy; she was cheering for Slytherin.

The atmosphere in the common room was something Elwia had never seen before. Everyone was loudly chanting 'Malfoy' and green party lights were flashing in the air to show everyone's pride in being Slytherin. There was alcohol everywhere, just as Blaise and Theo had planned. The bad thing was that it was a school night. Elwia was already way too drunk for her own good because Pansy had dared her to a shot competition. Elwia had won.

After the crowd calmed down a bit, Elwia, the group, and a few others went to sit on the sofas.

"Heyy, I know everyone will hate me for this, but how about a game of spin the bottle?" Pansy giggled. Luckily, everyone agreed; it was a fun way to spice things up.

Elwia spun the bottle first, and it landed on Malfoy. And maybe it was the alcohol, but for some reason Elwia had the excruciating need to know the answer to the following question.

"What's your body count?" Elwia slurred her words.

"Two." Malfoy smirked and fist bumped Theo, laughing.

"Wow, impressive." Elwia said sarcastically.

"Jealous?" Malfoy said, smug as ever.

"Hmm, let me think about it. No!" Elwia laughed.

Malfoy's expression turned into a glare, and he took an alarmingly long sip out of his Firewhiskey bottle.

The music was blasting loudly, and the alcohol was making Elwia's head spin. She hadn't really been paying attention to the game anymore, but she was pretty sure that Theo had to give a lap dance to Blaise, Astoria and some seventh-year guy kissed (Adrian looked pissed), and Pansy did a cartwheel to prove everyone she wasn't drunk.

"Alright if I join?" A low voice asked, catching Elwia's attention.

"Riddle. Always a pleasure." Malfoy said with a tight smile.

"Malfoy." The boy nodded and sat down on the sofa next to Elwia. He had brown curly hair and a small scar on his nose, and his eyes were chocolate brown. Elwia and the boy looked at each other; it was almost like an intense staring contest.

"I'm Mattheo, and you are?" He bent down to whisper in Elwia's ear.

"Elwia." said the girl with a shy smile and took a sip out of her drink.

"Hey, Riddle. The bottle landed on you, so I dare you to snog the person on your right." Pansy yelled with a smirk.

Elwia turned to look at Pansy with a shocked face. Pansy was being a wingwoman without Elwia even asking for it. The girl didn't know whether to be grateful for it or not, but Mattheo didn't seem to hesitate for even a second before crashing his lips against Elwia's. Elwia thought the kiss was passionate; their tongues were dancing and their bodies touching. Mattheo's hand squeezed Elwia's thigh, which caused Elwia to get a bit startled but she didn't feel uncomfortable, she felt quite the opposite.

After a minute or two, Elwia pulled away from the kiss and looked shyly at the people around her. Pansy winked an eye as she was taking a sip from the bottle. Mattheo yawned and smoothly rested his hand on Elwia's shoulder.

The game continued on for a few rounds but Elwia and Mattheo weren't involved in it anymore; they were way too engaged in a conversation to pay any notice. Elwia had taken notice of Mattheo's severe smoking addiction. In the duration of 30 minutes, he had smoked three cigarettes.

"Those things kill, you know, right?" Elwia said.

"That's why I smoke them. You want one?" He smirked.

"Sure." Elwia laughed and put the cigarette between her lips. Mattheo lit her cigarette with his own, all this while not breaking eye contact. Elwia felt butterflies in her stomach and blushed a little.

"I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back." Elwia said after she was done with the cigarette.

Elwia was fixing her makeup and looked at herself in the mirror. As she was putting on perfume, she noticed through the mirror a tall figure entering the bathroom. It was Malfoy.

"This is the girl's bathroom." She called out and put on some lip gloss.

"I don't want you talking to Riddle. He's not good for you." He said quietly. Elwia turned around to look at him and rolled her eyes.

"And how exactly would you know what's good for me? And Malfoy, for the second time, this is the girl's bathroom." Elwia sighed and shook her head in disappointment.

"He's not a good person. If you want to spread your legs for someone like him then go ahead." Malfoy scoffed.

Elwia slapped Malfoy in the face, enraged.

"How dare you? I am not the slut you think I am." Elwia raised her voice and pointed her finger in his face. Elwia took a step closer to the pale boy and under her breath seethed the words, "Leave me the fuck alone."

Draco Malfoy was left standing alone in the bathroom, astonished and embarrassed.

"Is everything okay, Wia?" Astoria asked when she saw Elwia marching towards her.

"Everything is perfect, come dance with me." Elwia answered, painting a smile on her face.

"Oh, okay." Astoria smiled innocently and happily took Elwia's hand in hers.

The two girls danced together, holding hands and laughing. Elwia quickly forgot about Malfoy; there was no reason to worry about anything negative anymore since she had Astoria close to her.

"You are the dancing queen," Elwia sang and pointed at Astoria.

"Young and sweet, only seventeen." The two girls sang and danced in unison.

"I wish I was seventeen." Astoria shouted and grabbed Elwia's hands in hers.

"Me too! When do you turn seventeen?" Elwia asked and pulled Astoria closer to her.

"February 14th," Astoria laughed.

"That's so cute, mine is so boring. It's July 30th." Elwia sighed.

"You're such a Leo, I knew it." Astoria smiled and danced closely with Elwia.

Astoria smelled like jasmine flowers and her smile was heart melting. How could someone be this pure and full of kindness?
