Mattheo Riddle Imagines

Detention

Me and Mattheo Riddle are what some would call a mystery. We're Frenemies who flirt. Nemesis who protect each other.

Today is no different. Snape had the audacity to pair me with Riddle for a project. I always knew he hated me, but I never thought enough to pair be with that loathsome creature.

" I know your good at potions so what the hell is taking so long?" I snap looking over at Mattheo who isn't even paying attention. He's looking across the room sniggering and having a silent conversation with his cousin Draco Malfoy.

" Mattheo" I try again. No response.

" Riddle!" I say raising my voice and hitting his arm.

" Ouch. Relax Nott" he says rolling his eyes. I constantly wonder how my brother could be friends with someone so incredibly irritating.

" Well you a little too relaxed. We only have five more minutes and we're only half done." I huff crossing my arms.

" So what? Why are you so uptight?" He asks turning his full body to face me.

" I don't think not wanting to have homework is uptight. But okay" I sigh pinching the bridge of my nose.

" Why are we not working over here?" Snape asks drawing each word out slowly. I watch carefully as Mattheo brushes a strand of hair out of his eyes. I fight back the urge to begin daydreaming, as I often do these days. I know better though. Not only is he one of my brothers closest friends, but he also hates me. I also know that he's a mind reader. It's common knowledge not to daydream around Mattheo Riddle.

" Sorry sir" I he says sweetly. " Eleanor is just having such a hard time understanding the assignment. Honestly I believe she's holding me back" he says putting his hand on his chest as if he's actually hurt.

" Oh you asshole" I breath under my breath. By the way Snapes eyes widen I can only assume I was not as quiet as intended.

" Ms. Nott that is not appropriate for my classroom. You can stay after class and help tidy up" he says.

" As for you" Snape says turning to Mattheo.

" What did I do?" He asks giving up the nice act and throwing his hands up in defeat.

" Don't think I haven't seen you goofing off like a bloody idiot with Malfoy all period. Detention for both of you" he says before walking off.

I groan. Could this day get any worse?

The bell rings and everyone, including Snape, makes their way down to next period while me and Mattheo stay behind.

He looks so good. So so so good. I shake my head. I can't be thinking about this right now. Not in front of him, not ever.

" Why do you look so scared?" He asks raising an eyebrow at me.

" Im not scared. Im just thinking about what a dick you are" I lie walking in the direction of the door.

" Hey where are you going?" He asks.

" To my dorm. What's Snape gonna do? Give me detention?" I ask continuing my way out.

All of a sudden there a click and just like that Mattheo has locked the door.

" Im not cleaning this up by myself" he says.

I roll my eyes but I pick up a broomstick and begin helping him.

We clean for a half hour and I continue to occupy my mind with thoughts other than him. That is until exactly forty five minutes into our detention. Mattheo sits down for a break, shifting forward in his seat in a way that makes my stomach do something funny.
