Poking The Dragon - 𝐃.𝐌 / 𝐌.𝐂

Chapter 23

The Ravenclaws are throwing a party in the room of requirement tonight, to celebrate their victory. I've decided to ask Lydia to come with me since Michael is probably going to be very busy with being team-captain and all that. I'm walking into the common room with a skip to my step. I'm grinning from ear to ear. Lydia is sitting in front of the fireplace reading a book, I sit down next to her. She looks up and sees my expression, she shuts her book immediately.

"Did he-" I squeal, "Yes!" She stands up, grabbing my shoulders firmly. "And what did you-"

"Yes!"

We jump up and down, I let myself fall down on the couch, completely out of breath. "I can't believe it, you're in a committed relationship." She chuckles as she falls down on the couch as well, hugging me tightly. "You're so grown up." She pinches my cheeks, "Also, there's this party tonight. It's mostly all Ravenclaws but I'm allowed to take you with me. Michael will probably be preoccupied with his friends seeing as he's team captain."

"Of course, I'll come with you!" She laughs as she shakes her head, "What?"

"I just really expected your first serious relationship to be with Draco, you know?" I look down at the mention of Draco, "I know, they're just so different. Michael is amazing, he's thoughtful and sweet. Draco is just so angry, all the time. His kisses are aggressive, not to mention the sex. Even though, that's not really a downside. I'm just not comfortable with that being a daily thing." I sigh as I lay down on the couch, "Michael is amazing, I like him so much, he makes me feel so special."

"Which you are Em. You two are so cute together, I'm so glad you two found each other. He lifts you up. And on the plus side I haven't seen your bitchy side in such a long time." I laugh as she hugs me tightly, "The last time was right before the Christmas holiday. To Serena, I scared that poor girl so much." I say, laughing my ass off. "Oh well that was a month ago so that's not too bad!"

After dinner Lydia and I decide to get ready together, she looks through my closet. "Seriously, do you bring an extra trunk filled with cocktail dresses?" I chuckle as I lay out three different dresses on my bed. "Okay, so it's down to these three." She narrows her eyes, pursing her lips. "Well, I don't think you should wear green to a Ravenclaw party." I grab the green dress, "That's a good point." I put it back in my closet, "So it's between the black and the gold dress."

Lydia disappears into our closet and walks out with a pair of silver heels, "The black dress would give you the perfect chance to show off these bad boys." She clinks them together, "Ohhh, Michael's going to love it." I change into the black dress and put on the heels; I check myself out in the mirror. "I look hot as fuck."

We walk into the room of requirement; the strobe lights are all coloured blue and everyone and I literally mean everyone is dancing. They have a small stage in the middle of the dancefloor, the Quidditch team is dancing on there. I giggle at Michael's cute dance moves; Lydia and I walk through the crowd hand in hand.

"Michael!" I yell out, he turns around and his smile grows as he sees me. He holds out his hand which I grab, and he pulls me up on the stage. He stares me up and down, "Em, you look hot." His eyes are darkening as a dangerous smirk appears on his face. "Do you want to get out of here for a second?"

"I literally just got here." I say with a laugh, "I know but damn, you look so hot. I can't keep my hands off of you for the entire evening." His arms wrap around my waist and they move down slowly, "Michael, behave." I whisper to him, "If we're going to disappear, I at least need to be the same level of drunk as you are." He kisses me softly, "I'll get you a drink, be right back babe."

I move over to Lydia who's dancing with Phineas, looking a little bit too close for my liking. I bump against her with my ass and whisper in her ear, "What the hell are you doing?"

"What?! I'm not doing anything." She says back, "Lydia, I know this look on you. You're seducing." I cross my arms and raise an eyebrow at her, "Okay, I am." She says with a sigh, "But why? What about Theo?!" "When I went to say goodbye to him before I saw him with Serena." She says, rolling her eyes. "That bitch!" I yell out loudly, "I'm going to kill her, and then Theo." I hug her tightly, "Why didn't you say anything before?"

"I just wanted to forget it ever happened." Michael arrives with two drinks in his hand, "Sorry, I'm going to need yours as well." I say quickly, giving him a quick peck on his lips. I give her Michael's drink. "You wanted to forget, so let's forget. We're going to down this." She stares at me with big eyes, "Down it?" She looks at the big glass filled with an orange liquid in it. "All of it." I say, a dangerous whisper to my voice.

"We're getting hammered!" We clink our glasses and down our entire drink. I cough as I wipe my mouth. "That was way too much." She laughs and puts the glass down. She starts dancing seductively, something she's very good at with the ass she has. Immediately Phineas is by her side, dancing with her. "Michael, I'm so sorry. Her boyfriend cheated on her I just can't sneak off now." He sighs and nods, "But at the end of the night, you're coming with me." He says possessively as he pulls me closer to him. I wrap my hands around his neck and pull him in for a long, passionate kiss.

"I am going to need a few more drinks if I can't have you right now." He says, combing his hand through my hair. "I'm on it." I say, kissing him softly on his nose. I head through the crowd on my way to find the drinks table. It takes me about ten minutes to even get through the tightly packed crowd.

The night goes on in a blur of blue, the entire night is filled with adrenaline and booze. It was perfect and I can't say I remember much of it.
