Rivals To Romance [Mattheo Riddle x Evelise Randall]

C H A P T E R  IV

It was lunch time In The Great Hall, the twins sat beside me, chattering about our prank that I introduced, The Golden Trio sat in front of me, giggling about Oliver and I, and Oliver sat on the other side of me and we talked about Quidditch.

"You think you're better than me?"

"Yeah, I think I'm way better than you." I smiled.

"Is that a challenge?"

"Maybe it is."

"Well, in that case, challenge accepted! You and I, at 5:45, we can play 1 on 1 at the pitch tonight," he insisted.

"Sure, I think that's a great idea, get ready to have your ass beat."

After Lunch I had potions. The class contained almost the same exact people from D.A.D.A yesterday, so of course the twat was there. He walked in and glared at me again before standing behind me.

I remembered what happened between Mattheo and I and how he knew the language.

I didn't know he was Hispanic.

Or did he just know the language?

He wouldn't take the time out of his 'pretty little day' to learn a language.

It was kind of funny knowing he bullied me for being different, maybe he bullied me just for being a muggle-born. Either way, he still bullied me.

"Good day, students. Today you'll be reading about a new potion. And on Friday you'll have to brew it with a partner... of my choice." The class groaned and Slughorn hushed them.

"This is so stupid," I whispered to Hermione.

"Right?"

"Now, now students, settle down. Get your textbooks out and get to a desk to read while I sort out your partners."

I went to a desk with Harry, Hermione, and Ron and we started reading as Harry and Ron guessed who they'd be partnered up with.

"I think you'll be partnered up with Malfoy," Ron joked.

"Well, I think you'll be partnered up with a spider."

The two boys shuffled, hitting each other harder each time.

Who do you think I'll be partnered up with?" Hermione asked me.

"If not me, probably Pansy or Daphne."

"Oh I hate Pansy." She rolled her eyes.

"Same," I agreed, "Who do you think will be my partner?"

"Well, there's Blaise, Draco, Theodore, Enzo, Mattheo..." she grinned.

I rolled my eyes, "I want to be partnered up with you."

"Aww, me too."

After class, I looked for the twins. I found them in the clock tower, sitting on the stairs with something in their hands.

As I walked in, they stood up and smiled.

"You've got it?" I asked.

"Yeah," They answered in unison.

They handed me a piece of folded up parchment, "What's this rubbish?" I furrowed my brows.

Fred scoffed and turned his head to George, "'What's this rubbish?' she says," he turned his head back to me, "that, there is the secret to our success."

"It's a wrench, giving it to you, believe me." George shook his head lightly.

"But we've decided your needs are greater than ours. George, if you will?"

George took his wand and held it up, he said, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." He placed the tip of his wand on the parchment.

The parchment revealed some wording, "Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present... The Marauders Map?"

"We owe them so much," George said.

I unfolded the parchment, "Hang on, this is Hogwarts. And that- no... Is that really-?"

"Dumbledore," answered Fred.

"in his study," added George.

"Pacing."

"He does that a lot."

"So, you mean this map shows..."

"Everyone."

"Everyone?"

"Where they are."

"What they're doing."

"Every minute."

"Of every day."

"We'll be using this for our little prank that you introduced us to," Fred said.

"Nice, this is... brilliant." I smiled, "Well, I'll see you boys later."

They winked at me before leaving, I watched them walk away and observed the map a bit more.

I was in my dorm, the clock striked 5:00 and I started getting ready for my 1 on 1 with Oliver at the pitch.

I touched up my makeup, and put a black tank top on with a jean jacket and some light grey jeans.

I used the reducio charm on my broom to make it smaller and walked out of my dorm and into the corridors, looking out to not bump into anyone I know.

I made it all the way to the pitch without getting noticed, I undid the charm on my broom and waited but I didn't see him.

"Hey, pretty girl."

I turned around startled but it was him, holding a bludger, two Beaters, and his broom. I smacked him as he laughed at me, "Do NOt scare me like that again!"

"Sorry."

He wore a navy blue jumper and grey trousers.

I smiled and shook my head. "Shall we start the match?"

He handed me one of the Beaters he held and hopped onto his broom, "Winners ball."

I hopped onto my broom and waited for him to try and score a goal. Once he did I hit it back towards him. He ducked and the bludger scored into one of the goals.

"Beat that, Wood!" I shouted from across the pitch.

He got the bludger and threw it to me. I caught it and flew near his goal, he blocked my way, but instead of stopping I kept going. Once I got close enough I turned upside down on my broom and flew over him, throwing the bludger, scoring another goal.

"Maybe you are better than me."

I smiled.

After almost 20 rounds of game, no breaks, we took a short walk through The Clock Tower Courtyard.

"...and my little brother, Mickey."

"I've never heard of that name before."

"It's actually a nickname that my grandparents gave him, his real name is Michael."

"That's cute."

"Ye..."

He slowly stopped walking and turned to me, "You are too."

I felt my face tint a light shade of red and I smiled lightly, "Really?"

"Yeah."

He looked into my eyes and leaned closer, placing a soft kiss on my lips, he pulled away slightly as if asking to kiss me more.

I put my hands around his neck and kissed him harder. I felt his hands go around my waist and we continued.
