The Key to a Riddle's Heart (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 19 - Quidditch

Since the party, I haven't spoken a word to Tom. It's been two weeks. He has been ignoring me as much as I've been ignoring him. I'm still very angry with him. My anger is more dominant that the broken heart that I was trying to mend.

Today was Saturday and it also happened to be Quidditch tryouts. This year, with much persuasion from Dan, I decided to officially join the team. Yes, Dan and I were back on good terms. Hell, I can't even remember why we were mad at each other in the first place.

At the moment, I was finishing a potions essay that was supposed to be turned in yesterday. Slughorn had given me an extra few days to complete it considering the fact that I was one of his favorite students. He asked me to come to a club meeting tonight but I passed on the offer because of tryouts.

"Dahlia, the boys are looking for you." Gabrielle said, marching up the stairs. She must have been sent up here to get me because by the look on her face, she was unimpressed.

I figured out the guy that was in her bed the night of the party was Matt. She was super upset about sleeping with him because she did not want to make things awkward between them. Instead of being awkward, Matt just completely ignored it. He acted as if they never slept together and that effected Gabrielle more than she wished.

"It's just I feel like I must have been bad in bed if he refuses to acknowledge it." I remember her saying that a few days after the party. She didn't have feelings for him, but his actions caused her to become insecure.

Dorea, the girls, and I spent an entire day assuring her not to worry. Ever since then, she's been frustrated with Matt. He must have been the one to tell her to get me considering the sour look on his face.

"I can't deal anymore! I just want to know if I was bad in bed!" She grumbled in annoyance. I was almost as fed up as she was so I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room.

"What are you doing?" She asked me, confusion spread throughout her entire face.

"Matt!" I called out as I pulled Gabrielle behind me. She started trying to pull me back but I was stronger.

"Ah, there she is. Just the girl I wanted to see." He said from the couch, not bothering to look over at me.

I brought Gabrielle with me until we were standing directly in front of him.

"What the hell is going on?" Matt asked and looked to Charlus, but he just shrugged.

"Is Gabrielle bad in bed?" I asked, Gabrielle's breath hitched as she waited for his answer. She pinched my back, causing me to let go of her and mumble an 'ow'.

"No, she's actually got some nice tricks." Matt smirked up at me before winking at Gabrielle. She sighed in relief before flicking my head and walking away.

"What was that all about?" Charlus asked as I plopped down on the couch.

"Nothing." I decided not to talk about it, seeing as it didn't matter much. It wasn't like Gabrielle liked him, if she did I would know. Last I checked, she liked some Ravenclaw boy.

The boys dropped the subject and began talking to me about the upcoming tryouts. "What are you trying out as?"

"Anything really." I said, shrugging.
