抖阴社区 it on my Heart-Mattheo Riddle story

Chapter 3

"Care to break free from the habitual and eat with us?" Mattheo asked, motioning to the open spot beside him.

"Depends," she mused, and he couldn't tell if she was joking or not. "Did you remember the quidditch schedule or am I going to have to walk to Madame Hooch's office?"

"I promised, didn't I?" He said, pulling a folded parchment from his pocket and offering it to her.

"Good, because heeled boots and hills don't exactly make for easy travel." Taking the paper from him, she slid onto the stool beside him. She sat close enough he could smell her sweet perfume. Or maybe it was shampoo. Whatever it was, it was fucking intoxicating. He wanted to bury his head in her neck and inhale the scent.

"Where's Shannon?" Enzo asked, drawing Mattheo out of his thoughts that were quickly spiraling into indecent territory.

"She refused to wake up at such an 'unsuitable hour' on a Saturday."

"You were a good friend to let her sleep," Theo said, sending Mattheo a pointed look.

"She won't think so when she finds out she missed breakfast with Enzo."

Enzo smiled at her, and Mattheo barely refrained from kicking his shin under the table. He knew Enzo was smiling about Shannon, but he was still smiling all dopey at Claire. His Claire.

"Did you get Jane's letter sent out?" Mattheo asked.

"Who's Jane?" Enzo asked.

"My sister, and yes I sent it with one of the school owls."

"You don't have one?" Theo asked.

"No, I have a sweet little calico cat."

"And your sister?" Enzo asked.

"She's terrified of birds."

"Well, you're welcome to use my owl instead of traipsing all the way up to the owlery."

"I might take you up on that, because honestly, it's just gross up there. Bird shit everywhere, and it smells awful."

Pushing her empty plate to the side, Claire pulled her journal and a quill from her bag.

"So, Slytherin tryouts are?" She looked up at Mattheo expectantly.

"Tuesday at six."

"Okay, I should have enough time to get there after Care of Magical Creatures." She scratched the time down on the schedule he'd given her and tucked it inside the journal.

"You're coming?" Enzo asked, taking a bite of eggs. "Why?"

"For the paper." She looked up at Mattheo with furrowed brows. "Didn't you tell them we're working on the sports column together?"

"He did," Theo said. Mattheo hadn't shut up about it. "We just didn't realize that meant you were attending our tryouts."

"I'm going to all the team tryouts. I won't know what the bloody hell is going on, but I'll be there."

"I'll be there to walk you through it," Mattheo said, making Enzo choke on his pumpkin juice. Theo patted him on the back with a smirk.

"Is that allowed?" Claire asked.

That time the pumpkin juice almost sprayed out of Enzo's nose as he attempted to hold in his laugh. Claire glanced at him in concern, but he waved her off. Obviously, she didn't have a dirty mind like him and Theo.

"It's not technically against the rules. Tryouts and practices are open for anyone to watch," Mattheo answered her.

"Yeah, that's going to go down great with Johnson," Theo said. Mattheo and Enzo shared a smile.
