Riddle Me This

5

"What took you guys so long?" Jenna asked, mimicking my smug attitude from last night when I had asked them the same thing. I rolled my eyes and sat down beside Didi. Of course, Mattheo had to be annoying and sit beside me. I scooted closer to Didi. Mattheo laughed. 

"I was saying hi to Harry," I said, picking off the blueberries on my muffins and putting them on my plate. Zac, as usual, had already put food on my plate: two blueberry muffins, hash browns, and eggs. He's such a sweetheart, I know😌.

"And making out with Riddle in the hallway," Didi muttered. "We were most certainly not!" I said. "You guys sent me to come get her," Mattheo said. Then, he reached over to my plate and took a blueberry. I stared at him as he put it in his mouth with a smirk. "I can't believe you don't like the blueberries. They're the best part," he said. I scoffed and continued picking them out. 

"Lili once choked on a blueberry, and now she absolutely hates them," Zac said. I glared at him, but he just grinned. Mattheo, Tom, and the rest of my friends proceeded to laugh their heads off. "I remember!" Enzo, Theo, and Draco said in unison. I did too. I had been eleven at the time. I had just made friends with Jenna, Didi, Draco, Theo, and Enzo, and they decided that it would be a good idea to jump scare me while I had been eating breakfast. Goodbye blueberries!

"I felt so bad!" Jenna cried, leaning across the table to give me hug. I laughed. "Jenjen, that was like, four years ago! It's fine,"I reassured her. She hugged me for a second longer, then sat back down on the bench. I could've sworn I saw Mattheo drop his famous smirk while we were hugging, but when I looked at him, that annoying smirk was there. It was like it was permanently attached or something.

"Well, it's the first day back. I say we should have a party!" Enzo said. "Oooooooo, YES!" Jenna said immediately. Mattheo and Tom chuckled. "Where?" Theo asked. I knew that he was already organizing who would be invited, food ideas, and decorations in his head. 

"I guess we could host it in my dorm," I suggested. "You mean our dorm?" Mattheo asked automatically. "It's the biggest out of everyone's, so we'll have a lot of space," I went on, ignoring him. "Okay, sounds good," Draco said. Didi looked up from her food in her 'I don't know what you just said and I don't give a fuck' mood. 

"So...tonight?" Theo asked. We all nodded. "Who'll be there?" Zac asked. "Well, all of us, duh. Hmmm...maybe just us," Jenna said. I shrugged. "I don't care. What about you guys?" I asked. "Yeah, that sounds good," Mattheo said. "Okay then. Just the nine of us. At Cae and Mattheo's dorm," Theo noted. "With alcohol!" Didi finally spoke up. "DIANA NARCISSA MALFOY WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU WE ARE ONLY FIFTEEN!" Draco shouted. I kicked him underneath the table as I gave some First Years looking over at us a smile. "Shut. Up," I hissed. 

"Well, alcohol?" Didi asked when Draco's mouth snapped shut. "NO," I said firmly. "Aw, Cae, you're such a party pooper," Enzo whined. "It's my job," I said, flashing a cocky grin. Everyone laughed as Enzo pouted. "At least promise me that there'll be some spin the bottle and extreme truth or dare," he begged. "We'll see," I said. Enzo let out an exasperated groan and flopped onto the table face down. I flicked the back of his head. "Ow! Cae's hurting me!" Enzo said, rubbing the back of his head. I rolled my eyes.

"Guys, hurry up! We'll be late for our first class!" Theo said as he looked at his wristwatch. "Yippee. Time for an hour in the torture chamber," Didi muttered sarcastically. Honestly, I didn't blame her. Our first class, (since the world hates us), was potions. 

"Can I just stay here for the next 24 hours?" Jenna asked. "Nope," Zac said, grabbing her arm and dragging her to her feet. I reluctantly got up from the bench, followed by the Malfoy twins, the Riddle brothers, Theo, and Enzo. We all grabbed our bags and headed to the dungeons for potions. Tom, him being a year ahead of us, split off from our little group for transfiguration. 

"What's after potions?" Mattheo asked from behind me. "DADA, I think," I said. "Ooo, who's the new teacher this year?" Jenna asked. I shrugged. "Don't know. I didn't really pay attention to the teachers last night," I said. I could feel Mattheo's smirk from behind me. "Who were you paying attention to?" he asked. I blushed. 

"OOOOOOOOO!" Enzo, Jenna, and Zac yelled. I glared at them. "Shut the fuck up!" I growled. Everyone laughed their heads off. 

I stalked into the dungeons, the rest of my friends trailing right behind me. I usually sat alone during potions, so at least I wouldn't have to deal with Mattheo for now, right?

Wrong. Of course. *sigh* 

Snape, being the dramatic bitch he is, walked into the room with his black cape billowing behind him. "Mr. Riddle, please sit next to your roommate, Miss Potter," he said. I scowled at him, then slumped over to where Mattheo sat. He gave me a smug grin. I responded by flipping him off.

Snape began instructions about what we were going to do today, and I pulled out my journal to write notes. 

"What's that for?" Mattheo asked. "Writing notes, dipshit," I replied without looking at him, jotting down word-for-word what Snape said. Then, a hand flicked my pen. I snapped my head up. Mattheo looked like he was trying not to laugh. 

"Do. Not. Mess. With. Me," I growled. "Miss Potter, why are you talking during my lesson?" Snape's voice boomed. "No reason," I mumbled. I thanked my lucky stars that Snape favored Slytherins. If it had been my brother, he would have gotten detention, no questions asked. 

I continued to write notes as Snape resumed talking. "I'm done with this shit," Mattheo muttered beside me. I kicked him. "Shut it," I growled as quietly as I could. "MISS POTTER, TALKING AGAIN I SEE," Snape yelled. I stifled a groan.

"I will have no choice but to give you detention, Miss Potter," he said. I sighed. Maybe he didn't favor all Slytherins. 

"Now look what you made me do," I hissed at Mattheo. "It's not my fault that your in detention," he said. "MR. RIDDLE," Snape yelled. "YOU WILL BE JOINING MISS POTTER IN DETENTION. AND IF I HEAR EVEN A PEEP OUT OF THE REST OF YOU, YOU WILL BE POLISHING POTION BOTTLES UNTIL CHRISTMAS!" he shouted to the rest of the class. 

Is this what you were hoping for? I wrote on my notebook. I elbowed Mattheo and showed him. He took my notebook and scribbled some words. Then he handed it back. I noticed that his handwriting was very messy. 

Do I look like I want to go to detention? was written on the page. I turned to him. He definitely looked pissed off. 

I rolled my eyes and wrote, See you in detention, Matt. I showed it to him. He scowled. I held in my laughter as we began our potion-making.
