Jenna was buzzing with excitement as she prepared for the party in Hogsmeade. Fresh out of the shower, she wrapped herself in her bathrobe and flopped onto her bed, watching Faye and Emily dance around the room, their laughter filling the air.

"Jenna, you need to hurry up!" Faye called over her shoulder, tossing Jenna a drink. "We need to leave soon!"

Jenna grinned as she caught the drink and took a sip. "Okay, okay! I'll be ready in a minute!" She stood up and slipped into her black, glittering backless dress with a halter neck, feeling confident as it hugged her small curves perfectly.

Once the trio was finally ready, they stepped outside into the chilly night air, excitement crackling between them as they made their way to Hogsmeade. The streets were bustling with students, laughter echoing all around.

As they arrived at the venue, Jenna's eyes scanned the crowd, and her gaze landed on Nick. He spotted her immediately, a wide grin spreading across his face as he jogged over and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Hey, beautiful! Ready to have some fun?" Nick said, pulling her close and leading her to his group of friends, which included Blaise, Draco, and Mattheo.

"Hey, guys!" Jenna greeted them, feeling a surge of energy as they exchanged quick hellos. Emily nudged Jenna, and they made their way toward the bar.

"Shots! Let's get some shots!" Emily exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. They ordered a round and downed them quickly, the burn of the alcohol setting the tone for a wild night ahead.

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" Jenna shouted over the music, feeling the warmth of the drinks hit her. They headed back to the group, where laughter and banter filled the air. Jenna could see Mattheo leaning against the wall, watching the crowd with an amused expression.

As the night wore on, Jenna and Mattheo exchanged playful banter, each comment sharper than the last.

"Nice dress, Jenna. Trying to blind us all with your glitter?" Mattheo quipped, a teasing smile on his face.

Jenna rolled her eyes, returning his smirk. "Well, at least I can manage to shine at a party while you just blend into the shadows."

"Blending is a skill," he replied, his tone dripping with mock seriousness. "I wouldn't want to steal your spotlight."

After a few more rounds of drinks and teasing exchanges, Jenna and Emily decided to hit the dance floor. They moved to the music, swaying and laughing as they let loose, while the others joined in.

"Come on, Jenna! Show us your moves!" Faye shouted, pulling her into the center of the crowd. They danced with abandon, feeling the music wash over them.

A little later, she slipped away from her friends to get another drink. As she turned to leave the bar, she was laughing with someone, not paying attention to where she was going. In her tipsy state, she bumped into someone and immediately spilled her drink all over them.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry!" Jenna exclaimed, her words slurring slightly as she looked up and realized it was Mattheo. The drink had soaked his shirt, and Jenna's face turned a bright shade of red. She was embarrassed, but he didn't seem too upset.

"No harm done," Mattheo said with a small, amused smile. "It's fine, really." He waved it off as he grabbed a napkin to wipe off his shirt. Jenna fumbled around, trying to help but still feeling the effects of the alcohol.

Mattheo's eyes met hers, and there was a flicker of amusement in his gaze. "Let me get you another drink," he said. He motioned to the bartender and ordered one for her.
