This Was A Mistake | Mattheo Riddle X Reader

chapter 30

"Theo stop." A shy smile crept onto my face as my cheeks flushed with pink. "Not funny." I rolled my eyes. "I'm just being you." He chuckled lightly.

I talked to Mattheo mostly because there was so much to talk about and I didn't want to ignore him while I talked to my friend group because he didn't seem to have any friends.

Today in Transfiguration, we were learning how to change animals into goblets.

Easy work.

After all my classes, I headed to the great hall to do my homework with Pansy and Hermione. We sat at the Gryffindor table this time because of Hermione.

I was surprised Harry or Ron wasn't with us.

"So, how are you two?" I rested my hand under my chin smiling at the both of them. "I'm good, just had a class with you." Pansy said. "I'm doing excellent Maya, thank you." Hermione smiled as she put a piece of written parchment to the side.

"Oh Mione, her and Mattheo are back together." Pansy smiled at her holding her hand on the table.

"Oh.." She said with wide eyes. "What?" My eyebrows slightly pushed themselves together.

"It's just- nothing." Hermione said taking her hand out of Pansy's and resting both her hands on her lap under the table while looking down.

"Just say it, I don't mind.." I lied. I did mind, the fuck did she have to say about him? He's not what people think.

"How could you date him? He's vile.." She looked up at me anxiously.

"How would you know that?" I asked calmly but defensively.

"His father-"

"Who his father is doesn't define him!" I cut her off angry. "Hermione, have you ever just not went along with rumors and found out for yourself? It's pretty fucking obvious you haven't." I spat.

"Mione.." Pansy said to her. "I'm sorry." She said and swallowed a lump in her throat. "I'm gonna leave. I seem to have..lost my appetite." I said calmly and stood up leaving.

She doesn't even fucking know him, he's like the nicest person ever once you get to know him. He's sweet, funny, sexy..

He only acts the way he does because of his past and I don't really blame him. He didn't have anyone to love or be loved by.

I finished my homework at the Slytherin table and made my way out of the great hall when I ran into Harry and Ron.

"Oh- Harry." I said awkwardly. "Maya..hi. Ron I'll catch up with you." Harry looked at Ron.

Ron nodded to Harry and avoided eye contact with me, I was a fucking Slytherin. Of course he did.

"I just wanted to say thank you- and I'm sorry." He put his hand on my shoulder. "Oh- yeah it's fine. I get it.." I smiled at him. "I know, but it doesn't excuse the way I treated you." He said.

"Harry, It's fine. Just promise me you won't assume stuff about a person next time."

"I promise." He stood there waiting for me to respond. "Okay..see you later."

"Bye." He said, still standing there. I left his sight and went to the common room.

I said the password and watched the door open.

I walked in and saw that Daniel was laying on the couch, his legs spread out, he was with his friends. One of them being that guy who tried to get me in bed with him at the party.
