When Matthew arrived at the commonroom; he sighed heavily. Cormac was putting his moves on a poor unsuspecting girl yet again. Cormac was a typical handsome spoiled arrogant arse; who thought he was irresistable. With one exception.
Matthew chuckled when he noticed that Cormac kept stealing glances at the brains of the golden trio; Hermione Granger. Typical. He can´t let go of the only girl who resisted him. Not to say that Matthew liked Granger; quite opposite actually. He simply didn´t think anyone deserved to be the victim of the mighty McLaggen. Despite the negativity he felt towards Cormac, they were friends of sorts. Well, he was more Ritchie´s friend. Matthew joined Ritchie by the exit. Matthew silently hoped that Cormac wouldn´t join them for breakfast. Well, that hope shriveled up and died.
Cormac came up them and dunked Matthew right between the shoulder blades. Really fucking hard.
"Hiya, guys!" Cormac grinned. "Did you see that fine bird? She was all over me."
Ritchie laughed loudly and stated that no warmblooded woman could resist him. Cormac only smirked in reply.
Matthew was so close to comment but decided that wouldnt be wise. Yes, not many resisted him. But those looks will wither away with time and be replaced with wrinkles and yellow teeth. And you´ll have nothing. You´re already a year behind your peers. Matthew grinned looking slightly evil. Apparently it´s not a good idea to mix little to no sleep with Black genes.
They made their way to the Great Hall as per usual; joking and discussing quidditch strategies. It was still a vulnerable subject, that Cormac didn´t get the Keeper spot. He would never miss an oppurtunity to rant how he was unjustly treated. Yada, yada.
Suddenly Cormac stopped in mid-rant.
"Well, well, well." Cormac smirked and when he did it, it kind of reminded Matthew of Draco Malfoy. Two arrogant prats.
"if it isn´t Loony?" he said with a haughty air. "Lost?"
The white blonde in question stared at the group with a frown on her delicate face.
"Not really, Cormac." she said with a far-off voice. "But thank you for asking."
Matthew and Ritchie snickered a bit. She could never tell if anyone was sarcastic of not. She seemed so dimwitted.
Cormac´s smirk widened and he leaned in by her ear and stage-whispered.
"If you ever need something or lose something"Luna seemed comepletey uneffected. "you can always come to me."
Cormac grinned cockily and Luna stared at him. But not in an oh-you´re-so-hot way, more in the who-are-you-again way. Then Cormac sauntered off, expecting Richtie and Matthew to follow him as if he was their leader. Ritchie followed without hestation, but Matthew lagged behind.
"Bye, Luna." He said quietly. He really didn´t like it when people bullied her. Sure, he wasn´t the most innocent. He would laugh when she said something hillarious.
But he didn´t feel the need to seek her out and just tease her. He actually admired that she dared to be herself. He wasn´t himself completely in school, he wasn´t comfortable in his own skin.
"Bye, Matthew." Luna smiled a pretty smile. Wow, she´s not that bad. At least in appearance.
Matthew smiled hesitantly and continued to the Great Hall.
The Great Hall was filled with hungry people as usual and Matthew sat down drank some tea. Yummy tea. Nothing can make you feel better than a cuppa. Now some toast. Oh! Jam!
Ritchie ate bacon and eggs. He insisted on having them scrambled and they had to be peppered.
"so what are ya gonna say to McGonnagall?" Ritchie asked.
Matthew shrugged. "wow,you´re a man of many words today." once again the shrug.
"Hey, isn´t that your brother?" Ritchie asked.
Matthew turned around and looked over to the Slytherin table. Matthew sighed; apparently Nath had found a new flavour of the month.
"He will seriosuly catch somehing, the way he´s going." Matthew mumbled.
Nathan had started early with girls. He only had to smile his signature smile and the girls fell before his feet. This had caused a rivalry between the infamous Slytherin sex god Draco Malfoy.
That was the only good thing that came from his fooling around.
Matthew looked at the time.
"Shit, we have to get going." Matthew drank the last of his tea, burning his throat badly.
"Let´s go!"
