Eva did her best to prevent tears from falling, she still wanted to have a good night, but she couldn't stop.
"Hey, you're gonna ruin your makeup." Mattheo approached her, cupped her face and began to wipe her tears from under her eyes. "What happened, love?"
She sniffled, "Cedric dumped me."
He threw his arms down, "Right before the Yule Ball?"
"Yeah." She held herself, "Harry decided to tell him—right now—that I smoke and Cedric doesn't like that."
"What a twat. Both of them, really." Mattheo looked back at Eva, who was starring at the floor. "Wanna get fucked up?"
A smile immediately spread across her face, "Yeah."
Mattheo nodded his head in the direction of the great hall, "Let's go get Draco."
"I'm pretty sure he's with Pansy." She said quickly, following after Mattheo who already began walking into the great hall.
"And?"
The two of them found Draco and Pansy standing near a table with champagne glasses in their hands. Mattheo waltzed up to them with no shame, while Evangeline followed behind him nervously. "Draco, can I speak to you?" Spoke Mattheo.
"Uh, yeah." He replied. He then handed his glass to Pansy and the two of them walked a bit away to speak privately. Eva gave Pansy an awkward smile.

"'Angeline just got dumped." Mattheo told Draco.
"By Cedric?"
"Yes. Who else, idiot?"
Draco rolled his eyes at the insult, "And what do you want me to do about it?"
"Be there for her. Obviously."
"Can't you do that? I'm on a date." He retorted.
"Fair point, but you don't even like Pansy."
Draco said nothing.
Mattheo rolled his eyes, "Alright bro. We're gonna go get shitfaced and come back in a bit. See ya'."
Mattheo and Draco walked back to where both Pansy and Eva were standing awkwardly next to each other. Mattheo nodded his head in the direction of the entrance to let Eva know he was ready to leave.
Draco wasn't any good at being there for people, even if he wanted to be. He cared about Eva, deep down, but how was he supposed to help her?
