This Was A Mistake | Mattheo Riddle X Reader

chapter 19

"Yup. Just bored." Daphne answered as she rested her head on Adrian's shoulder. "Aw, such a cute couple you two are." I smiled at the both of them. "Well then go hangout with your boyfriend." She smirked. "If you forgot, he isn't really my boyfriend."

"Right. That'd be awful if he actually was. I know you wouldn't ever like him or actually date him." She said in a relieved tone.

"Oh- I mean yeah." I nervously chuckled. What's awful is that I wish he was actually my boyfriend and that I did actually like him and wanted to date him.

"Yeah- you'd be mad to actually get with him." Adrian chuckled out loud. "Seriously." Enzo agreed.

"I'm surprised you could even fake it around him." Daphne added.

"Where's Pansy? I literally have not seen her for a century now." I said changing the subject.

"Dunno. Thought one of you two would've known." Enzo said as he referred to me and Daphne.

"How about I go look for her?" I said as I already stood up. "Sure. Want me to come with?" Daphne said as she took her head off of Adrian's shoulder.

"No, I'm fine. Don't worry." I assured her. I would've let her come but I really wanted to go by myself. I wanted to talk to her and see why she was so distant from us.

I really had no idea where Pansy would even go. The only idea that came to mind, was Granger.

The walk up to Gryffindors common room was pretty long, but I had nothing else to do.

I arrived in front of the portrait door and waited for a Gryffindor to come in or out of it.

After a few minutes, Harry Potter came by and whispered the password. "Harry! Hey!" I pulled his shoulder softly. "Uhm...hey?" He said confused.

"Did I do something? I thought you liked me." I looked around.

"No- you didn't do anything. It's just that you're with..Riddle." He stuttered a bit as he looked away from me.

"So? What does that have to do with us?"

"Well- I can't really- um-"

"Be friends with me? Come on, Harry. We've been good friends since second year. Do you think I've changed??" I furrowed my eyebrows. I was shocked by what he was even thinking of me.

"Well you certainly have changed." He cleared his throat.

"Sorry but I don't care about that right now. I've been through some traumatic things if you already haven't heard. That kind of changed me which took a lot of courage and time by myself." I shrugged my shoulders at him.

"Really? Me too." He said sarcastically.

"Not everything is about you, Harry. I have horrible parents who have treated me like shit my whole life." I snapped at him.

He froze and stared at me like I was a ghost.

"Look, I didn't mean that. Can you please just let me in? I need to see if Pansy is okay." I added on putting both my hands beside his arms.

"I'm sorry, but no."

"Harry, please." I stepped in front of him.

"Fine." He agreed under his breath.

"Thank you." I sighed as he let me into the common room first before himself.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you." I told him before I walked in, their common room was much different and brighter than ours. Warmer too. I could really get used to this.
