VENUS - Theodore Nott

part 25

-

On Sunday, the group didn't have classes and they had the whole day free to do whatever they wanted.

They would catch up on homework, go for a walk, explore the castle, or even just relax in their rooms but they have done that thousands of times, it was boring.

At the moment, they were chilling in Mae's room.

Not even a surprise at this point.

Enzo, being the adventurous one, suggested exploring the castle grounds.

"Let's go out and explore outside," he suggested. "Maybe we'll find some hidden tunnels or secret passageways."

Since they had already studied and had already explored the castle, the group decided to do something different.

Daphne suggested a game. "How about we play some board games?" she suggested.

Everyone agreed, except for Matteo who said, "Sounds boring. Let's do something more thrilling."

Enzo perked up, his eyes glinting with excitement. "I know! We could play a game of Truth or Dare!"

Matteo's eyes widened, an evil grin spreading across his face. "Yes, that's more like it, Enzo."

Daphne looked intrigued too, a smile growing on her face. "That could be fun. I'm in."

Mae looked skeptical, wary of what kinds of crazy truths and dares Matteo might come up with.

"I don't know, guys. This could get chaotic."

Blase, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up. "I'm in if everyone else is."

Pansy, who was sitting next to Blase, smiled mischievously. "Count me in."

Astoria, who was curled up in a corner, nodded.

"Sure, why not?" She said.

Enzo chuckled. "Looks like everyone's on board."

Matteo grinned, rubbing his hands together gleefully. "Excellent. Let the games begin."

Enzo clapped his hands together. "Alright, who wants to start?"

Blase, feeling brave, volunteered. "I'll go first. Matteo, Truth or Dare?"

Matteo, never one to back down from a challenge, chose Dare. "Dare, of course."

Blase chuckled, clearly excited to come up with something good. "I dare you to... sing a Disney song at the top of your lungs, right now."

Matteo groaned playfully, but he knew he had to follow through with his dare. "You guys really are out to humiliate me, aren't you?"

Enzo snickered, clearly enjoying Matteo's discomfort. "Come on, Matteo, don't be a coward. Sing it loud and proud!"

Matteo sighed, resigned to his fate. He took a deep breath and began to sing at the top of his lungs. "Let It Go!"

Enzo, Daphne, and Pansy clapped and cheered, enjoying the spectacle. Theo and Mae covered their ears, cringing at the off-key singing.

Matteo finished singing, grinning sheepishly. "Well, how was that?"

Mae, unable to resist making a sly remark, shook her head playfully. "Wow, Matteo, I didn't know it was possible to butcher 'Let It Go' so badly. Impressive."

Matteo feigned indignance, clutching his chest dramatically. "Excuse me? I'll have you know my singing was a work of art."

Enzo snorted, unable to contain his laughter. "More like a work of torture, mate."
