i ran towards the great hall, because i still didn't know where the common room was. i rushed into the hall, resuming my previous place at the table.
"what's wrong?" Pansy asked. "you look flushed."
"oh nothing," i responded. "just mattheo trying to kill me."
"he didn't!" Pansy said, shocked.
"well technically he just threatened me, but im sure i'll get a few more threats considering i punched him in the nose."
"ha!" Blaise laughed, "i hope you got him good, i've been wanting to hit him for a while."
"you just punched him?" Malfoy questioned.
"yes....." i responded.
"and?!" pansy prompted.
"and kicked him..."
"Oh my god Aria he's so gonna kill you!" blaise said, still laughing.
"okay you are not helping the situation blaise" i sighed.
"girl i don't think anything is gonna help your situation" Pansy commented, and Malfoy nodded in agreement.
"SLYTHERINS! FOLLOW ME SLYTHERINS!" an older girl who looked like she had a rotten egg up her nose yelled.
"i guess we are going to the common room " pansy sighed.
"finally" Malfoy groaned, standing up.
the Slytherins filed out of the hall, mattheo still no where in sight.
on the way to the common room i tried to keep track of all the twists and turns of the castle, but Hogwarts was practically a maze. i figured it would take nearly the whole year to know where to go.
once we got there the egg-nosed girl explained the rooms. each room had a name or two on it, and you were to go to the room assigned to you. the common room was decorated with ornate green silks and velvet sofas. as i ran my finger along the dusty tables, Pansy grabbed my hand.
"cmon!!! we need to find our rooms!" she bubbled.
"okay okay i'm coming" i said and Pansy practically dragged me up the stairs.
"ooo! look," she exclaimed. " we have rooms right next to each other, i think they have a connecting door so we are basically roommates!"
"cool." i said, twisting the door knob and entering the room with my name, as Pansy entered hers.
the room was painted a cool grey, with a canopy bed decked with more green silks. suddenly i heard a pounding coming from what i thought was a closet. i quickly open the door to find pansy smiling and pulling me through the door and into her room. her room was basically the same as mine but flipped."isn't this so fun!" pansy asked excitedly.
"yeah!" i replied.
"i'm gonna unpack and get some sleep but do you promise i can do your hair in the morning?" she begged.
"sure." i obliged.
we each said our good nights and closed our connecting doors.
i walked to my bathroom and washed my face. i grabbed some clothes out of my pre-delivered trunk and went back to the bathroom to change. i put on some comfy checkered pajama bottoms and a light green cropped tank, then walked back into the room to grab my hair brush.
"nice room" a cool voice spoke from behind me.
i turned to look at the person.
Mattheo. of course.
he showed no signs of the punch i gave him earlier.
"what no hello?" he smirked.
"get out Riddle."
"tell me Strayers, what did i do to you?"
"that's not getting out."
"you know, usually when someone hits you they apologize." he said.
"normally when someone threatens to set their murdurous father on you they apologize," i said taking a step forward.
he raised his eyebrow"i don't want to fight Strayers." he took another step.
"it sure seems like it Riddle" i said stepping toward him again.
we were now less than two feet apart.
"know" he stepped forward, causing me to back up, "your" he took another step, making forcing me to back up again, "place" he took one more step, i was now against the wall.
he leaned down so our faces were only an inch apart. "am i clear?"
i didn't respond.
"i said," he repeated, "am. i. clear?"
i stayed silent.
he stood straight again, causing me to look up to maintain eye contact.
"do you need me to make it more clear?" he questioned.
"you are not as scary as you think you are." i stated. his frown deepened and he tilted my chin up more with his hand, his rings cold against my skin.
his thumb met my lips, as his opposite hand held my waist. i faltered, my eyes flicking away. my knees suddenly felt like falling beneath my weight. Mattheo smirked.
"get out." i said, trying to sound tough but my voice came out more shaky than i wanted.
mattheo looked me up and down. "make me"
my breath shortened and i told myself to push him away. but i couldn't.
i just stared up at him, he was very handsome... no. i thought. he is a jerk.
my hands began to move to push him off but before i could his lips were on mine.
he kissed me.
softly.
and it was nice?i kissed him back.
what am i doing.
kissing the son of Voldemort.
i broke the kiss, slowly parting our lips.
"you should go" i said softly.
"why?" he asked huskily as he leaned in for another kiss.
i turned away and sighed. "this was a mistake, goodbye Mattheo"
he simply smirked and slipped out the door, i felt suddenly cold without his arms around me.
"Aria?"
i looked up.
shit.
"hi pansy... how much of that did you see?" i wince.
"enough to know that Mattheo Riddle has got it bad for you"
