Always and forever- Matteo Riddle

The energy in the Room of Requirement was electric—music pulsed through the air, and the golden glow of floating lanterns flickered over groups of students drinking, laughing, and dancing.

I walked in with Pansy and Astoria, all three of us looking absolutely stunning. Pansy wore a sleek black dress that hugged her figure, while Astoria went for something soft and elegant, balancing out my own bold choice. Heads turned as we entered, and I smirked, enjoying the attention.

"Alright, let's find the boys," Pansy said, linking her arm through mine.

We moved through the crowd effortlessly, the energy of the party already working its magic. When we finally spotted them, they were gathered near the drinks table, looking effortlessly cool as always.

Mattheo's eyes landed on me first, and I didn't miss the way he looked me up and down, his usual smirk tugging at his lips. "Well, well, don't you three clean up nice?"

"Obviously," I teased, stepping closer.

Theo handed me a drink. "Here, figured you'd need this."

I took a sip, the familiar burn of firewhisky warming my throat. "Now, let's get this party started, shall we?"

Blaise grinned, raising his drink. "To a night of chaos and no regrets!"

We all cheered, clinking our glasses together before diving into the madness of the night.

I reached for the nearest bottle without even checking what it was and tipped it back, letting the burning liquid rush down my throat. The warmth spread fast, mixing with the adrenaline already coursing through me.

"Alright then," Theo laughed, watching me with raised eyebrows. "Guess we're doing this properly."

"Obviously," I smirked, wiping my lips with the back of my hand before passing the bottle to Pansy, who took a swig of her own.

The music pulsed through the room, and the energy was electric. Someone was already dancing on a table, groups of students were shouting over the music, and the party was only just beginning.

Mattheo stepped closer, eyes dark as he leaned down slightly. "Pacing yourself isn't in your vocabulary, is it?"

I shrugged, a teasing smile on my lips. "Where's the fun in that?"

He shook his head with a grin, grabbing his own drink. "Just try not to pass out before the real fun starts."

I smirked, stepping closer to Mattheo as I grabbed another bottle from the table. "Better start having fun then," I teased, tilting my head at him before taking a long sip.

He chuckled, shaking his head, but there was something dark in his gaze as he watched me. "Oh, don't worry, princess. I always do."

Theo whistled. "Alright, alright, enough of whatever this is. Who's up for a game?"

Pansy perked up. "Truth or dare. That's always fun."

Astoria rolled her eyes but smirked. "Only because you like making people do stupid shit."

"Exactly," Pansy said, winking.

I laughed, already feeling the buzz of the alcohol kicking in. "Fine. Let's make it interesting."

Enzo raised an eyebrow. "How interesting?"

I leaned in, voice low and challenging. "No backing out. Whatever you get, you have to do."

Mattheo grinned, eyes gleaming with something wicked. "Now this is getting good."

We all sat down in a messy circle, drinks in hand, ready for chaos to unfold. The energy in the room was electric, laughter spilling over the thumping music.
