Stay - Mattheo Riddle

Chapter 90

Everyone had been invited to the party, though it was mostly Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors at the party. The party went on allday and well into the night. Kirra, Fred and George disappeared for about an hour and returned with armfuls of bottles of Butterbeer, pumpkin fizz, andseveral bags full of Honeydukes sweets.

'How did you do that? Where did you go?' Jasper Rowle, spoke up as he grabbed some butterbeer from the Hufflepuff girl

"Its a secret" the girl told the boy with a smile as George started throwingPeppermint Toads into the crowd.'With a little help from Stripes, Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs,' Fred mutteredin Kirra's ear. 

Kirra noticed Mattheo standing over in a corner by himself, sipping butterbeer as he kept a protective eye on her, he never really was one to like parties. Kirra broke away from the table where Fred andGeorge had started juggling Butterbeer bottles, and went over to him. 

'How you hanging in there Love?' she asked him softly, taking a sip of her own drink and then wrapping her arm around his waist

"Good" the boy replies, a smile tugging on his lips as he looked down at the tiny Hufflepuff at his side, "How are you going? I mean this party is technically for you"

Kirra shook her head, "the whole team deserves this party, nobody did better than anyone else, we are a team, it was everyone's win" she said with a smile and then she unwrapped her arm from him and then grabbed his hand, tugging on it softly.

"What are you doing?" Mattheo asked her, a grin tuggin on his lips as he stayed put

"Dance with me?" she asked him, a bright smile on her face as she looked at her boyfriend hopefully

"You wanna dance?" he asked her in surprise

"Yeah... I'm old school remember" she said playfully and Mattheo rolled his eyes with a grin

"So I'm about to dance with an old lady?" He asked her playfully

"Well if you don't want to I'm sure I can go and find someone else who will dance with me, maybe Blai-"

Mattheo grabbed both of her hands and pulled her onto the dance floor, the music that was playing was loud and upbeat, it wasn't a slow dance song, but the two third years didn't seem to care as Mattheos arms went around her waist and her arms went around his neck, her fingers tangling in the girls at the back of his head

"I cant believe you're making me do this" he mumbled to her with a small smile, "If I were in my first year and I saw this, I would have dropped dead in shock" he muttered to her and a small giggle fell from her lips which made his cheeks heat up and caused butterflies to erupt in his chest

"Yeah, and then you might have tried to drown me again" she added playfully, raising her eyebrows at him

A small sigh fell from his lips and a chuckle followed, "I was an asshole" he answered honestly, "I still am... but you bring out the best in me"

"No" she said, shaking her head with a smile, "You bring out the best in you, I just help encourage you to be your best self"

He bowed his head and buried it into her neck, the two of them swayed side to side, enjoying each others company, they were in their own world. And after all this time Mattheo finally realised what the feeling was when she held him in her arms... not only was it love it was his whole purpose, it was what he lived for. He craved... no, he needed her touch.

"I'm completely and totally in love with you, and nothing could ever change that," He whispered into her ear as they continued to rock back and forwards
