"So would you rather switch the game, since you're getting sort of bored?" He asked.

"Yeah get me a coke."

"Why would you think I meant that?" I asked exasperated, "Are you retarded?"

"I'm sorry! How would I have known?" he exclaimed/ asked.

"WHO ASKS FOR COCAINE OH SO CASUALLY YOU DAMNED IDIOT?" I answered, confident that the neighbouring dorms could hear us by this time.

"Well, don't get mad, it was a common mistake." He defended.

"NO, NO THIS, this is NOT a common mistake. How damned stupid are you? And a pound, Riddle. A pound." I asked.

"I know people." He muttered. "Kill me right now."

"You can do that yourself with this," I answered, shaking my head. If it was like a weak drug, I probably would have made a couple of jokes about it and had fun. But cocaine? Nah man this shit is serious.

"Sheesh, woman, when did you become my mother?" He asked casually like it was on big deal and then added in a panicked tone, "Do NOT drop that, that was very expensive."

"Expensive, my foot! I should not have invited you to ride with me, Maddie and Greengrass." I reflected.

"Hindsight 20/20." He joked. "Seriously woman, hold that properly that is $120 worth of cocaine."

I rolled my eyes, a tiny smile on my face.

"Seriously, man. Should. Not. Happen. Again." I said, firmly, dangling the packet.

"Yes ma'am. And hold that carefully, shit was expensive af like I said." He replied, pointing at the bag.

I tossed it to him.

"Fuck- I just said it," He paused catching it, "was expensive af."

"Coke please," I said, paying him no heed.

"There are two things girls usually ask me but being their waiter usually isn't one of them," He muttered, carefully walking away and holding the packet.

"Change to black Pepsi!" I called after him.

"At least they get paid." He called back loudly.

I chuckled and put the covers on myself.

I picked up the phone.

"Hey, Maddie. Sorry for that, my roommate is a dumb shit."

"Uh-huh. Someone's going to be having fun."

"Oh shut up. Oh, what the fuck? Wait I got to go. Gimme a minute."

Silvia's POV

"Hey, Maddie." I greeted, walking in.

"Yoo." She greeted back, looking up from her phone.

"These second years are a bit much. Like, I got so much in herbology with the second-year Hufflepuff from being the friend of Mattheo's roommate. They badgered me with questions. Ooh, he's so hot what is his cologne?" I asserted.

"I know, man. What the hell? I'm glad no one knows about the carriage ride." She replied, putting her phone back on the desk.

"You rode on the carriage with him?!" I freaked out.

"You're as bad as them." She replied, chuckling.

"I'm not. Just that… you never exactly told me did you?" I asked, trying to play it off.

"Well, I did mention riding with Via and her friends." She replied.

"You never mentioned him!" I exclaimed, jumping to my defence.

She raised her eyebrows. Oh darn. Maybe I am as bad as them.

Mattheo's POV

"How did you manage to explode the sink?" She asked.

"How did you set fire to the kitchen when you were 11?" I countered using rumours as leverage as we put on shoes.

"Fair fair." She replied.

"You want to spy on your sister and my brother instead of randomly walking around?" I offered, liking hanging out with her. "They should be at the lake right now."

"Lily never told me. What? Holy crap." She raised her eyebrows and grabbed her wand.

"Well, Tom told me. We going?"

"Uhm. Definitely." She replied like it was the most obvious decision.

"I just hope we end up getting married before so that no one can object that we're technically related." I winked at her, taking a huge risk.

Why are my palms sweaty? I've done this dozens of times since 5th grade.

"Alright lover boy, that was smooth, I'll give you that. I share your hopes." Via replied.

My heart soared. Victory, it seemed to be mine here.

"And any specific reason why you seem to be more in love with this tree than your future husband?" I asked, seating myself.

She rolled her eyes, smiling, "It has one opening there, just big enough to slide out, the other branches never have leaves and they have very little space to fall or be spotted but just enough to poke our noses everywhere."

"Fair. I'd leave my husband for that too."

"But," she started, "I'm not leaving him am I? I'm inviting him to come with me, aren't I?" she asked, continuing our little game.

"You're inviting him to meet the man you're having an affair with." I laughed.

She laughed too.

"Ooh ooh shut up they're here, finally." She held a finger to her lips, trying not to laugh.

We both spluttered and her laughter, a delightful sound, stuck in my ears.

"Ready to leave?" I asked. The sun was setting. The day had ended.

"You go on. I'll hang around a while." She replied, watching the sun.

"Oh no, if you're not going, neither am I."

I feel that if she's attacked the thing attacking will be in more danger than she ever could be, despite knowing her for only a day, but still, if we came together, we leave together. That's my rule of life.

She raised an eyebrow, "Catching feelings Riddle?" She asked confidently. I felt something wash over me.

"Oh, don't get your hopes up, darling," I replied smirking, matching her vibe.

"Oh I don't know, possibly the son of death and darkness can't be all that gentle with everyone now can he."

Alright, call me a simp. But she looked so hot right then as she climbed over my legs, making our noses touch, her soft hair trailing behind, her and me on that tree as no one saw us.

The perfect spot to grab her and kiss her.

"POTTER AND RIDDLE IN A TRE G!" A little voice piped up.

Cockblocker.

"Hugo. No. We were n-" Via said, her eyes widening as she quickly got off of me, choosing to sit next to me.

"I want your Netflix." The little boy decided.

"Sure." Via tossed him the keys.

The boy left and I decided to voice my thoughts, "Cockblocker."

Via laughed and smacked my stomach.

"Be nice to your future brother-in-law." Via laughed, twirling her hair.

That is flirting, right?

"Where were we now?" I asked facing her and lifting her chin. Our noses were touching me again.

"Marry me." She breathed.

I have no idea why females find the chin thing so hot.

"As long as you have my children." I joked. She chuckled.

She cleared her throat and moved back.

"We should go." She asserted.

"Aight let's leave." I agreed.

I slid through the opening.

"Hey Riddle, wait a second," She grabbed my hand.

She fell. And then she was in my arms.

"Wait, wait, what happened again?" James asked.

Via sighed, "I fell from a tree, he caught me, I saw a spider, I yelled, he panicked and dropped me."

"And now we're in the hospital wing." I finished.

"You literally slung a snake on your shoulder casually this summer. What is it with you and spiders?" James asked, exasperated.

"I do not understand how people are not afraid of spiders. It has 8 legs and like twenty thousand eyes. Imma see a spider in my room, you think I'm gonna sleep there? Hell na, I'm moving to Japan. Konichiwa!"
