I don't own HP
When I reached my room I grabbed a pair of jeans, red flats and a red fitted t-shirt. When I was dressed I decided to leave my hair down and wavy. As soon as I was ready I looked at the clock I still had fifteen minutes, that's when all the thoughts of earlier came flooding back to me.
"Why am I doing this?" I asked aloud , no-one was in the room since quidditch practice was still going on.
I had just broken up with Wood, and now not even five hours later I'm having lunch with another guy. But, it was just lunch as friends, right?
Fifteen minutes later I found myself outside the great hall waiting for Matt. When I saw the team walking in from practice I hid behind a wall hoping they hadn't seen me. I looked around the wall a minute later and they were gone but Matt was.
I had to admit he was hot, he was wearing jeans and a blue polo that matched his eyes when he spotted me he jogged over with a smirk on his face.
"I was betting you would stand me up." he joked.
"I told you I couldn't refuse an offer from someone who complimented me" I teased back
"Oh so you would have lunch with Flint if he complimented you then?" he teased back.
"Hmmm" I said as though I was thinking about it seriously "maybe it just pertains to people who don't look like a shrunken troll" At the comment we both laughed.
"Which table should we sit at?" he asked
"Umm…" I started "Well I bet that if we sat at my table you would receive death glares form the girls and a few right-hooks from the guys,"
"Well then since I need to be able to see for quidditch, hows about we sit at the Ravenclaw table, for the sense of self-preservation"
"I couldn't agree more Davis, couldn't agree more." And with that we walked through the double doors into the Hall which turned deathly silent.
"Wow she moves fast-"
"Weren't she and Wood an item?"
"Damn not even single for a day-"
"Lucky bastard-" Were what the whispers said.
"WE ARE JUST FRIENDS!" exclaimed Matt, for which I was grateful.
"for now" muttered a first year Gryffindor.
"excuse me?" I asked
"Nothing" the child quickly muttered.
"that's what I thought" I retorted.
"Lets go sit" interjected Matt. Gently pulling me to the Ravenclaw table.
"Guys" he said talking to a group of three, two girls and one guy. "This is Rose Bolin, a friend, she's gunna sit with us. That ok?"
A chorus of "Yup's" and "Sure why not's" came back at us as we sat.
"This is Ellen" said Matt pointing to a red-head that was rather short, and pale but pretty. "This is Claire" he pointed to a brunette that was tan and looked to be about my height. "And this is Jeff" he gestured to a guy that looked similar to him but with brown eyes "he's my cousin" Matt replied at my look.
"Oh ok" was al I said not sure how social these people were.
"So what's it like in Gryffindor? " Claire asked bluntly.
"Well as of right now itr sucks" I replied with a laugh. "We have great parties, what with the twins planning them, but I'm not to big a fan of them right now"
"Oh sorry didn't mean to bvring it up" said Claire.
"No it's allright, I mean I was bound to get screwed over by him sooner or later right" I said with a serious face "Just wish I could get a little revenge though" I mumbled.
"Ohh now revenge I can help with, Ellen too!" she exclaimed.
"Oh god I here chick talk coming on, Matt you wanna go talk quidditch with the other guys?" asked Jeff
Matt looked at me a begging look in his eyes at which I laughed at "go on I'll get help from the revenge experts"
"Thank you!" he said as he walked to the other end of the table.
"Ok, trust me when I saw this will be so easy for you." started Ellen.
"I mean Wood is practically giving us death glares and we're girls!" continued Claire
"Really?" I asked doubtful.
"here" said Ellen handing me a compact I held it up as if checking makeup but looked behind me and saw the death stare was infact from Wood.
"Ok so what do we do?" I asked
"Well starting Monday make sure you are always accompanied by at least one guy. And at quidditch don't give him any attention, talk to the twins or the chasers. Other than that you should be able to continue like nothing happened." Said Claire.
"Ok" was all I got out before I felt a hand on either one of my shoulders, I turned around to see the twins,
"Hey guys!" I exclaimed
"Hello Rose" they chorused
"What's up?" I asked nonchalantly.
"ha-ha she sits at the table of the team we just beat, and she wonders what's up?" George said sarcastically.
"It's no big deal I can have other friends" I retorted
"Yeah you can.." Fred's voice drifted off.
"So what's the problem?" I asked confused.
"There is no problem." retorted George.
"Then what's with the tone?" I asked
"What tone?" sniped Fred.
"That tone" I replied laughing
"We just want to know why our seeker is at another table hours after a bad breakup with our captain" stated George.
"Well then you answered your question" I responded jokingly.
"Now I'm confused" muttered Claire
"You and me both" continued Ellen.
"Well" said George "we just want to know if you are ok."
"I'll be ok" I said as I saw Matt coming our way "you two might want to head back to Gryffindor table cause Matt's coming over here and Woody-boy might blow a fuse if he sees us talking."
"Hey, are you girls done the girl-talk?" asked Matt.
"yup and were are just worrying about how quickly Woods gonna blow a fuse with me talking to you." I responded.
"oohh lets find out" Matt said with a smile.
"you really want to take this risk?" asked Fred.
"It'll be pretty bad" continued George
"Let's try it" I said.
"ohh it didn't take long" interjected Ellen "he's headed this way."
"shit!" said both twins as Wood got into hearing distance.
"Hey Fred, George we thought we lost you to the Ravenclaws, the girls sent me to get you." said Wood with an attempt at nonchalance.
"Hey Wood" said Matt, with a smirk "I was wondering if maybe you wanted to schedule a scrimmage cause your next match isn't for more than a month. And ours isn't for about three weeks"
"I think my team will be just fine without a scrimmage." sneered Wood.
"Woah Wood turning down something related to quidditch?" asked Fred sarcastically.
"Have we died?" continued George
"shut up you two." snapped Wood.
"Ohhh I figured it out!" exclaimed George
"He jealous cause Rosie here is on speaking terms with the Ravenclaw captain but not him," finished Fred.
"I said shut up!" said Wood louder
"I believe we can take that as a yes" replied Fred.
"Yes I do believe we can" continued George.
"Fred, George leave him alone" I interjected.
"You're defending him?" asked George
"Or are you defending Mr. Matt here?" continued Fred laughing at the look Wood gave Matt
"Will you just leave" I retorted , truthfully I didn't know who I was defending.
"Alright your wishj is our command" the twins said as they practically dragged Wood away.
I sat back down and Matt sat next to me and we all laughed.
"Well that was awkward" said Claire.
"Trust me" I said "when I go back to the common room I'll be bombarded by them and this will seem like a piece of cake."
"Well good luck" laughed Ellen.
"Thanks you are too kind" I replied my voice filled with sarcasm.
"Well we got to go" said Matt "Flitwick usually has his weekly reports in ten minutes so we have to be there, you ready to leave?"
"Yeah" I said rising from my seat and we exited the Great Hall when we reached the hallways were we went separate directions he gave me a friendly hug and we said goodbye.
Review, pretty please.
