The serpent's shadow - Matteo Riddle

The unexpected pairing

Isabella was sitting in poison classes on her usual sit. She was sitting with hermione - her best friend. They really liked eachother because they have like exackly the same characters!

"Psst...Izzy?" Hermione whispered.

Hermione came up with this diminutive when they met for the first time, and it just stayed.

"yes?" She whispered back.

Hermione looked at her.

" you know that today we will be paired up with boys?"

Oh no...she completly forgot to study for the project that professor snape arranged for today. But...maybe her pair will know something...

"fuck, i forgot."

Today while girls were at potions class, fred, goerge, Harry and Ron were helping hagrid with some issues, so they weren't in class.

Isabell and hermione focused back on class when snape started pairing students. After a few minutes hermione heard her name.

"hermione with... Harry potter." Snape said.

Isabell could almost hear how hermione's heart skipped a hundret beats and how fast it started beating. Her eyes were wide and her mouth making an "o" shape. Isabell smirked. Hermione had a crush on Harry since 3rd grade.

Snape started name more couples but isabella still hasn't heard her name.

Finally, as the last one, snape said her name.

"and Isabella with...Matteo Riddle."

Her mouth hang open. The same as matteo's. Her eyes were wide. She couldn't believe she god paired with slytherin! And with Voldemort's son, too! Hermione giggled quietly. "watch out, someone's about to put something in that pretty mouth of yours." She said in a suggestive tone. After they recomposem themselves they spoke up in exackly same time.

"I won't work with that mugblood!"

"I won't work with the son of Voldemort!"

"I don't care, Either you get along, or you both fail this project." Snape said with the most stoic and serious expression ever.

***

It was 6pm, Fred, George, hermione, Harry, ron, Emily (oliver's wood girlfriend), oliver, ginny and dean were all sitting in common room. Hermione was sitting next to harry blushing from the proximity. Emily was sitting on the couch cuddling with Oliver. Ron was sitting on an armchair eating leftovers from dinner. Fred and George were sitting and teasing eachother. Isabell was laying on her favourite armchair watching instagram on her phone.

"So, who are you guys paired with?" Hermione asked.

"I'm with emily." Oliver announced.

"I'm with that shy girl, named cassie i think." George replied.

"Pansy." Fred said resigned.

George laughed loudly.

"I'm with Luna Lovegood." Ron shrugged. "She's smart i guess, but kinda weird."

Isabelle remained quiet, she was absolutely frustrated with her pair.

"I'm with hermione." Harry grinned and wrapped his arm around hermione's shoulder pulling her close while she blushed even more. They both were so obvious. Isabelle was shipping them all the time as she winked to hermione.

"Izzy, why so quiet? You're not the quiet type. Who are you paired with?" George asked.

"I'm with matteo." She muttered under her breath.
