"Okay, that's the last bit of the homework." Maddie sat back and cracked her knuckles.

"Urgh finally." Mattheo remarked from the door, "Now who wants to go on the PS 5?"

"I don't think you should be ignoring all of it," I commented as I got up making a beeline for his room.

"Guess me and Via are taking the first turn." He announced. Idiot.

Maddie got up and walked towards him "And that Mr. Riddle is exactly where you are wrong." And grabbed the controller out of his hands.

I patted the space next to mine as I put on my headset.

Mattheo's POV

"I hate you both."

"Do your homework kid." They replied in unison.

Urghhhhhh.

I went to Via's room. Would she mind if I snooped?

Some sensible part of me said: whoa boy, you've not known her for even 24 hours. You haven't even snooped in Tiffany's room and it's been two years since you've known her.

Of course, like always I ignored that one part and opened a drawer below her bed.

And immediately closed it upon seeing the pads, tampons and cups.

I checked another one. Oh, what's this?

A flute?

"Please don't tell me she's in marching band shit," I said aloud to myself.

Such a perfect person. But marching band stuff.

That means she has no time for other stuff, Loverboy, a voice chided.

Shut up, I told it.

Well, at least she can blow for a long.

I mentally slapped myself.

Give me a break I'm thirteen and immature.

"Oi loser," Maggie walked in, "Check the Hogwarts official group chat."

I raised my eyebrows, putting down my, sorry, Via's book on her table and typed in my password, 420690. I told you I'm immature. I opened the group chat.

"A week of vacation?" I questioned. "Isn't today the first day?"

"Yeah, dumbass you'd see the part about internal affairs, if you used your eyes!" Via called.

"What's she doing?" I asked, scrolling further. I assumed they weren't using the PS5 anymore since the sounds of violent cussing had stopped.

"Reading smutfics." Maggie sighed, "Psychotic ones." She shook her head.

"You guys coming?" Via walked in and sat on her desk.

"In you? Yeah sure tonight is great." I winked. She smacked my arm.

"To the beach trip!" She said, looking at us as if we were the dumbest thing she's ever seen. I checked my phone.

Sure enough, I'm in a new group and there are tickets.

"I've known you guys less than 24 hours, and you're taking me on a yacht," I stated scanning the details.

"Dad thought it would be a good idea, you know dragging along the riddles and I've known Maggie forever, so the generational stuff doesn't repeat." She stated.

"Rich girl shit. Also didn't the generational stuff already repeat?"

"That was my big sister. I do not share her ideals. The Potters seem pretty chill + one of the sisters is so fking hot." I looked at Via, winking.

Via blushed and Maggie looked exasperated, "Great you guys can share a room, I'm not sharing with Via if all she's going to do is 'But that was so cute!' I already feel single."

Via rolled her eyes smiling, "Dorm meeting at Lily's. 528, let's leave."

"You mean Tom's dorm right? "I'm pretty sure that's where Tom resides.

"No…?" She replied.

"OH! They share a dorm. They share a dorm, Via. Are you thinking what I am?"

"Let's go losers." Maddie interrupted, wearing her jacket, shades (inside like a crackpot), and her shoes.

Who wears shoes inside?

Via shrugged and we walked on over to the exit. I put on my shoes. I pulled my blue hoodie up. I looked a lot better with it.

I pretended to listen, not really paying attention.

"And you guys got permission?" Ace asked.

Urgh, why did I sit next to him? He interrupted my daydream. Again.

"Well," I perked up at Via's voice, "I'm pretty sure, Teddy being a responsible person has informed our parents, and you don't have parents."

"Thanks a lot." I acknowledged, "I almost forgot, you know."

"Okay, that's enough guys," Victorie said clapping twice as she stood up, "Remember to pack up, because we leave Wednesday evening."

Everyone stood up, ready to leave.

I saw Via approach Vicky, "Hey, Victorie, you're in charge of the dorms right, could we like talk about the… arrangements?"

Teddy forced himself into the conversation, "I made the arrangements. Talk to me."

Via stopped for a second re-evaluating the situation, "Well, Vicky's going to have to play owl won't she?" She yelled in a moderative tone and grabbed Vicks Vapour Rub (Vicky) and left.

That girl is… something.
