"dude you guys are so cute" Sophie squeals. I smile. "Oh my gosh you're smiling just thinking about him." she shakes her head. "So, how's blaise?" I ask as we walk to the great hall. "He's good! He told me he loved me last night ''I look at her with wide eyes. "Did you say it back?" "no. not yet. I don't know, it's just a lot harder for me to throw that word around." I nod. "But he was really sweet about it. Told me I didn't need to say it back, and that he doesn't want to pressure me. He was just telling me how he feels about me" "aww. That's cute. '''' I know" she smiles. "You're smiling while thinking about him" I point out. She wacks me in the arm while I'm laughing. "Hey ladies," Mattheo says, walking up to us. He slings his arm around my shoulders. "Oh look at that, we were just talking about you," Sophie says, rolling her eyes." I'm gonna go find blaise. see you later" she says walking away. "Hey baby," I whisper, looking up at him. "baby?" he smiles. "Yes, baby. I was trying it out, but I'm not sure I like it. See I can't seem to figure out what to call you. There's no word that sums you up perfectly, or that fits your personality. like babe, just feels too american, while sweetheart, makes it seem like your my son, which is....gross. and-'''' wow. you've really put a lot of thought into this'' he says. "yeah. I don't know, I need something that fits you.'' '' I love you" he says against my hair. "I love you too," I answer, wrapping my arms around his waist and hugging him as we walk to the great hall. "Where'd you want to sit today?" I ask him once we enter the great hall. "Well I don't know if I can sit on the same table as Malfoy without killing him, so I think I'm gonna join you on the Gryffindor table. Is that ok?" he asks. " Of course," I answer, kissing his cheek. "Um also, what happened to colbie?" I ask him. "I broke up with her after Draco asked you out. After you walked away" he answers. "How'd she take it?" "not super great" he says scratching his head. I smile. "What'd she do?" "Well, she got really upset, and then she started yelling and, uh, kinda punching me" "punching you?" I ask , laughing. "Yeah. she was mad" he laughs too. I grab his hand and we make our way over to the table. " Hey guys!" I greet my friends at our table. Fred and George were deep in conversation about a new prank they're planning to pull, Oliver is going over a new quidditch play with Dean Thomas, and Cho Chang is silently flirting with Harry from across the room. I don't understand what she sees in him, but she doesn't really want to hear my opinion, so I don't comment. "Claire" Oliver says, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Wood" I greet. "What do you think about this play for quidditch? The beaters will follow the seeker......" I tune Oliver out as I feel a hand on my inner thigh. I don't have to look up to know it's Mattheo's. His hand goes up, up, up, stops, and goes down, down, down, then back up, up, up......... "-so then the seeker will be protected the whole entire time so they can get the snitch" Oliver finishes looking up at me. "u-u-um what about the chasers?" I ask , trying not to focus on what Matteo's hand is doing. "What about them?" he asks, confused. "if a, um if a bludger goes after them, they have to fend off the people from the other team, get the quaffle in the goal, and worry about being mauled by a bludger all at the same time?" I ask. Oliver looks at me annoyed. "You're the one that asked my opinion" I point out. He sighs. "I know, and thank you for the feedback. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to rip up this play and throw it away." " Have fun!" I call out as he's walking away. He turns around and salutes me before exiting the great hall. Matteo's hand starts to go up my skirt, to the exposed skin where my really high knee high socks cut off. I suck in a breath. "Claire?" "yeah?" I turn towards cho. "Do you want to do our potion's homework with me later?" she asks, turning to me. "Y-y-yeah sure." she smiles. "Sorry guys but me and Mattheo have to go" Fred looks at me pointedly. "See you later" i glare at fred, and grab mattheo's hand as we leave the great hall. "Why are we leaving?" he asks innocently. "I was having a great time," he smiles. "Shut up" I answer. "What did I do?" " the hand on the thigh going up and down. Dude I looked like an idiot, stuttering and barely choking my words out." "I don't know what you're talking about," he says, still feigning innocence. " I'm gonna get you back." "I can't wait," he says in my ear. " So where are we going?" he asks. "Do you wanna come to my dorm just to hang out?" " hang out?" he says, raising his eyebrows. "Just hanging out mattheo. Don't get any ideas ''I say pointedly. " You're cute when you're mad," he says, kissing my cheek. I roll my eyes. "Do you wanna get on my back?" he asks. I smile. "Come on," he says, bending down. I jump on, and we go back to my dorm.
