抖阴社区 it on my Heart-Mattheo Riddle story

Chapter 3

Mattheo made Theo and Lorenzo come to breakfast with him. It was far earlier than they normally would on a Saturday, especially the first Saturday of term, but he was eager to see Claire again. He immediately scanned the Hufflepuff table for her when they entered the Great Hall.

"And she's not here," Theo stated the obvious.

"She's probably sleeping in," Lorenzo said, then added wistfully, "I wish we were sleeping in."

"We can still go back to bed." Theo started to turn around, but Mattheo stopped him.

"You can sleep at the table."

"I get you're excited to see your little obsession, but as far as I can tell, we're not required for this morning schedule exchange," Theo grumbled, following Matteo to the Slytherin table.

"I think his pushiness is his way of asking for our moral support," Lorenzo said, sliding onto the bench across from Mattheo.

"I'm not exactly moral, but I can do the support part," Theo said.

Draco, Blaise, and Pansy passed by them on their way down the table. Mattheo lifted his chin in a brief greeting to Draco. They weren't as tight as him, Theo and Lorenzo were, but as cousins who were raised together, they were close like, well, not brothers, but somewhere between cousins and brothers. His Aunt Narcissa had taken him in when his father had been presumed dead and his mother's residence permanently changed to Azkaban. Which, honestly, was better than being raised by his actual birth parents, who didn't know how to love, let alone show affection. Lucius could be a dick, but he was nothing compared to Mattheo's parents.

He still resided with the Malfoy's during summer breaks, but unfortunately he saw both his 'parents' with more frequency than he'd like since his mother broke out of prison and his father came back from the dead.

Pansy slowed to a stop, smiling at Mattheo in what seemed like an attempt at being flirtatious. It wouldn't be the first time she tried to get with him. She'd even come onto him once when she was visiting Draco over the summer. As if he'd ever want anything to do with her. Even if she wasn't on and off with Draco, he wouldn't go there.

"Hey," she said, her high voice grating as ever.

He didn't say anything, just glanced at Draco with a 'come get your girl' look. Draco understood, if him snapping at Pansy to hurry up was any indication.

Shifting his gaze away from the two and towards the hall entrance, he froze when he saw Claire standing in the doorway. Her hair was down today, falling in glossy, soft looking waves against her white tee, and fuck him. She wore denim shorts that stopped above her mid-thighs, leaving him with an enticing view of her exquisite legs. He watched transfixed as she scanned their table. When she met his gaze, a relieved smile lit up her face. He spun in his seat as she approached, leaning his elbows back against the table.

"Good morning," she said, her gaze moving over Lorenzo and Theo before resting on Mattheo.

"You must be confused, honey, your tables across the hall." Pansy said patronizingly before Mattheo could return Claire's greeting. He was about to tell Pansy to shut it, but Claire spoke for herself.

"Technically, it's a free for all during weekends, but as creatures of habit, we tend to sit in the same seats even when we're not required to."

Her response made pansy scoff and turn back to Draco and Blaise, but it made Mattheo smile. Putting pansy in her place without being a bitch about it somehow made her even more attractive.
