Party
Narrators POV
The lights blared everywhere. Music was blasting, heard inside dorms. The smell of alcohol was everywhere. Laughter could be heard only if you got close enough to the source. But the people singing along to the music was all over. It could be heard barely over the music. A long red carpet led into the common room from the dorms.
Pansy, Alice, and Orabelle walked in to see this wonderful sight. The all linked hands, walking side by side. They found their friends and began their conversations as normal. The group laughed and had a good time. But Orabelle knew something no one else could. The person she most wanted to be with was staring at her. He hadn't moved one bit. Only stood by the drinks and watched from a distance.
"I'll get drinks. Give me a minute" Orabelle left the table. No one questioned her, just waited for their drinks. Mattheo only hoped that she was coming to talk to him. But he knew she wouldn't want to. He was slightly pissed at her but even more himself for even thinking. Thinking she could like him.
"well, if it isn't the princess. Are you coming to talk? Or just to taunt me?" He asked. Orabelle tolled her eyes. She didn't look at him at all. Instead, she took her time getting the drinks. To make him upset and want to talk to her more.
"Oh, you know you want me. I'm too hard to resist" He spoke again. She still looked away. Before leaveing, he grabbed her arm. She smiled and took his wrist in her hand. He thought that the effect of his touch was enough. But quickly, that was shown to not be true. She was taking him to her friends. Not a second was waisted to get out of her grasp. But she was too strong.
"Guys! Look who I found trying to taunt me! It's Riddle!" She yelled to her friends. They all knew she was pissed. No one messed with their queen. But she shut them all down as Draco and Theodore stood. She smiled, the devil's smile. "He'll be joining us. Since the bitch wants my attention so bad, he'll get it" Her tone slowly coming to match her death stare at him.
Forcing him to sit down, the seats were all taken. But Orabelle wanted to tease him. Mattheo had made a mistake trying to mess with her. He wasn't the only one to try and get her to date him. Orabelle sat on his lap and he tried not to blush. The friends all looked at each other and tried not to laugh.
"So, what are we playing?" Lorenzo was first to ask. They looked at each other. The only one who had good games was Pansy. She smirked and left. But just as soon, she came back. A bottle was in her hand.
"Spin the Bottle. It's an easy was to see who gets flustered kissing the other. Then we will play truth or dare. But with Vetruserm. Let's play!" She announced and everyone got ready. Lorenzo spinned first, landing on Pansy. Pansy had to kiss Alice and they both blushed. Orabelle stood and sat on the floor in front of Alice. It was a natural reaction for Alice to start braiding her hair.
The bottle was passed around a few times, never getting Orabelle. But soon, Theadore was forced to kiss Mattheo. The both looked disgusted afterwards. He rolled his eyes and spun the bottle. This was the one time it landed on Orabelle. She looked up at him, shrugged her shoulders, and kissed him. He was shocked while she sat back down, unfazed.
"Okau, has everyone been kissed? Good, cause it's time to play truth or dare. Drink your serum and then let the dares begin!" She laughed. Theodore asked first. He started by asking Pansy something. Of course, she picked truth.
"Pansy, did you enjoy the kiss with... Alice!" He thought about which person to say. The serum took over and she responded ever so quickly.
"Yes. Alice is a good kisser" She clapped her hands over her mouth but Alice smirked at her.
"Okay, okay. Enzo, truth or dare" She asked him. He picked dare, which was his normal first choice. "Okay, go up to a random student and ask them for a kiss" His cheeks flushed red but still, he went. The games contiued for a while. They all let out secrets.
Pansy only dated women but liked having sex with both guys and girls. Alice just was bi, like Orabelle. Lorenzo had a secret partner at home, in the muggle world but wouldn't say who it was, as the Vetruserum had worn off. Theodore cheated on all of his test in school, makinf him get his amazing grades. Mattheo was forced to say that he had a thing for Orabelle. But they found out she had a knife kink.
"Alright, I'm heading to bed" Pansy said. Alice followed behind. Theodore left shortly after. Orabelle went with Lorenzo when he left. Leaving Mattheo alone. He went to his own dorm. A silencing charm was cast and he began smashing things. Everything in his sight. The mirror, plates, bottles, everything. Orabelle had angered him. She angered him so much.
But this was about something else. The stupid mark on his arm burned. It burned like hell. It made him want to completly get rid of his arm. The pain could be hidden by a mask, but the feeling would be there. The entire time. Mattheo knew he should speak to Draco, the only one who would know anyhing about this. But he refused to bother anyone. So instead he went somewhere else.
Arriving at the Astronomy Tower, he could see a figure sitting there. They didn't move, seeming to be staring at the stars. He was tempted to ask if he could be there, but told himself they would leave. He moved closer, mumbling about wanting to be alone. Mattheo saw the silloute of the girl move her knees to he chest. He took out a cigerate and watched her.
"Please leave" she spoke. It was soft, but the struggle was clear. This girl was crying. Mattheo sat next to her, only to realize it was Orabelle. She had tears down her face, hair soaked from the rain. She turned her head, looking at him. Nothing was said, as they sat there. Soon her cries became louder, making her move away from him.
"Look, I just... go." She said again. Mattheo looked at her and shook his head. "I need to be alone. This is my safe space. Find your own" She sobbed. Once again, he shook his head.
"If I leave you alone, you might jump off this tower" Mattheo told her. She walked up to the edge and began leaning off. Mattheo ran to catch her, but she never fell.
"It's spelled. The tower won't let me fall" She explained. But as Mattheo began to leave, a thud was heard. He saw her, face down on the floor. She had passed out. As he went to pick her up, he found the knife she had and the many scars on her arms. He carried her to his room, placing Orabelle on his bed. He got a sleeping bag and laid it on the floor. But as he laid down, a hand reached out. Orabelle held out her hand to invite him to lay next to her. Mattheo reluctantly agreed. And they fell asleep in silence, not saying a word to one another. But they both felt their feelings, even if they were very deep down.
