Word Count 1298

I'm sitting at my usual spot in the common room with my 3 best friends. Pansy Parkinson, Daphne Greengrass, and Lucy Morris. We are getting ready for a party that is happening later tonight. We are the top of the hierarchy here at the Slytherin house. We have quite the reputation and are known around hogwarts as the Slytherin Girls.

"Hey, girls", Draco Malfoy comes up to us and sits in his usual spot next to Pansy. Draco's gang is like our other half. Basically us but opposite gender.

"Hey", we all reply.

"Where's Mattheo?", Lucy asks. She always has had a little crush on him. Little does she know him and I have had a secret thing going on for months now. I just can't tell her because she's one of my best friends and she's basically in love with him.

Mattheo and I aren't secretly dating or anything we just like to have a little fun every once in a while. And what I mean by every once in a while we do it about 3-5 times a week. At first he started out as just a fuck buddy, but I'm afraid I'm starting to catch real feelings....

"I don't know Lucy", Draco replies "but I think you should maybe give up on him because I don't think he's interested. I'm sorry"

Lucy scoffs and runs up to our dorm.

"I'll go get her", Pansy says her being closest with Lucy out of all of us. Even though we're a group Daphne and I have always been the closest. Same with Pansy and Lucy. I think the reason Lucy holds out hope on Mattheo is Pansy makes her delusional saying stuff like "did you see the way he looked at you" and "he totally likes you"

"Little does she know he's infatuated with you", Daphne, being the only person other than Theo who knows about Mattheo and I whispers in my ear. I smack her and roll my eyes.

"Must've said something she didn't like", Draco smirks watching Lucy run up the stairs.

"You're such an ass", Enzo sits down in his spot next to me. "Leave the girl alone"

"And let her live the rest of her life in delusion? I'm doing her a favor, really.", Draco snaps back.

Enzo sighs next to me and fiddles with his fingers as the group goes into a comfortable silence.

"Parties here!", Theo and Mattheo walk in holding crates of alcohol. I raise my eyebrows in concern because of the amount of booze they managed to get.

"And who's going to drink all this?", I say standing up and looking down in the crates.

"Me.", Mattheo says looking me in the eye. I laugh and start unloading the bottles and putting them on a table. Mattheo follows my lead and comes in behind brushing against me (definitely on purpose) to start unloading a second crate.

I glare at him and he smirks back at me.

"Hey, Mattheo", Lucy seeming to better now that Mattheo's back says.

"Uh hi Lucy", he replies obviously uncomfortable. Then the group goes silent.

"Y/n will you come help me over here real quick?", Mattheo says breaking the silence. I get up and walk over to Mattheo.

"I think we need to make this thing more public", he whispers in my ear.

I raise my eyebrows at him. "Are you sure?", I say, not sure why I'm complaining.

"Yes", he says louder this time and he pauses, "Love"

My eyes widen at the nickname and I look at Daphne and she winks at me. I turn around to go sit back down and I see Lucy standing now with her jaw dropped.

All of sudden Lucy gets on top of me and starts strangling me.

"You fucking slut", she says tightening her grip on my throat.

"Holy shit, Lucy!", Enzo screams pulling her off of me.

I grip my throat after she's off of me and look over at Mattheo. He has an expressionless look on his face. Lucy runs away probably back to her dorm.

"Come on Y/n", I can't even react before I'm being dragged to the boys dorms.

"What the fuck is wrong with her?", Mattheo paces back and forth.

"She's literally OBSESSED with you", I say sitting on his bed.

"Are you sure you're okay though?", he asks, putting my face in his hands.

"Yeah", I say grabbing his wrists.

"I mean why did a nickname set her off that much", he asks sitting down next to me.

"Maybe because she's a fucking psychopath", I say leaning my head on his shoulder then automatically putting it back up because we're not supposed to be intimate just a fuck every once in a while. Instead of letting me go he wrapped his arm around and pulled me closer to him.

"I promise I'll keep you safe", he says rubbing his thumb back and forth on my arm.

"I'm not scared of her", I laugh.

"Not from her. I promise to keep you safe from everything. There's a war coming Y/n whether we like it or not"

I sigh melting into his body a little more trying not to think about the doom that is coming in the future.

"Let's just have fun tonight and not think about it, yeah?", he says noticing how my expression changed. I nod and he stands up and grabs my hand. We enter the party side my side and he gives my hand an extra squeeze as he goes to sit by his friends and I go to Daphne.

"You okay?, Mattheo kinda just stole you and hid you away for a while", Daphne asks as I come sit down next to her on a couch.

"Yeah, is Lucy okay now?"

"I think Pansy finally got her calmed down, but I don't think she'll ever speak to you again", Daphne says her gaze drifting over to Lucy who is staring right at me with a hard look on her face.

"It was just a nickname", I say shrugging.

"I think she was just living in delusion. Deep down she knew the whole time Mattheo liked you, but that just hit a nerve I guess."

"Whatever, let's dance", I say grabbing her hand and taking her to the dance floor as the song Dancing Queen starts to play.

Daphne and I sing and dance along to the music. We were having a great time until we saw Lucy coming towards us.

"We'll see who Mattheo really wants when he sees me with someone else", she says and walks away. Daphne and I exchange confused looks, but everything comes together when we see her dancing with Marcus Flint a Slytherin a few years ahead of us. She had her back facing towards him and she was running her hands up and down her body staring right at Mattheo. I don't even think he noticed.

"I have an idea", I say and Daphne gives me a confused look but keeps dancing. I walk over to the couch where Mattheo is sitting and grab his arm and drag him up. He gives me a confused look and I grab his hand and take him to the dance floor.

I don't dance with him like Lucy was dancing with Flint. I just wrap my arms around his neck and sway back and forth with the music. The rest of the night I didn't worry about Lucy. I didn't worry about school or homework or anything. I just kept my focus on the boy in front of me who I would do anything for.
