"If Cedric ever has an idea like that again, remind me to stay in bed." Eden groaned, holding the pillow over her face to shield her from the light.
Her head was throbbing, and her stomach was doing flips inside her. Odessa lay in her own bed, hiding beneath the cover as Cedric lay on the floor between the two beds. He had decided to crash there, too drunk to even attempt to make it to his own bed.
"Agreed" Odessas' muffled voice spoke from beneath the covers.
"Girls are so dramatic" Cedric spoke up, sitting up as he eyed the girl.
Eden moved the pillow, watching as he gave her a bright smile. He seemed to be completely fine.
"Literally how are you so perky right now" She groaned, sitting up as she rubbed her eyes.
"I can handle my liquor" He shrugged, standing and tossing Edens extra pillow at her.
"Thanks" she muttered, pulling her legs over the side of her bed.
"Oh god." She Groaned, leaning forward. She knew throwing up would make her feel so much better but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"All right kiddos" He started, walking over and pulling Odesssas blanket away. He received quite a few choice words in response.
"You guys need some food in your bellies"
Eden groaned again, squinting her eyes and covering her mouth. The thought of food made her whole body convulse. She shook her head at him.
"No im good"
"I promise" He sat next to her, patting her back. "It will make you feel so much better."
She shook her head again, glancing over at Odessa who just stared at the ceiling.
"Come on" He patted her leg standing up and headed for the door. "Get dressed, I'll be back in five and you better be ready."
He sent them a smile before retreating out the door, Odessa flipping him off the whole way.
After a moment Eden stood, stretching upwards as she yawned.
"Come on babe" She walked over, ruffling Odessas hair. "We can nap at breakfast. You know he won't leave us alone until we go."
Both girls began getting ready, Eden throwing some regular clothes. It was a Saturday so there was no need to be formal, thank god.
She wore a white tank top, tucked into the same jeans from the previous night. She grabbed a wipe, her makeup from the previous night smeared around her face. She was a hot mess.
She wiped it all off, looking into the small mirror on the wall, she looked rough. She had faint circles round her eyes and her cheeks were still slightly flushed.
Backing away from the mirror she grabbed her sneakers, lacing them up and looking over at Odessa who had also finished getting dressed.
She looked even worse than Eden did, not even bothering to tame her curls as she pulled on a hoodie.
There was a loud knock on the door, Eden whining in response as she grabbed her head. Cedric popped his head inside, smiling at the two.
"Are you guys good to go?"
They nodded, Eden throwing on a plain white sweatshirt over her top. As they walked from the dormitory, Cedric threw his arms around both girls.
"I had a ball last night ladies"
"Cedric" Odessa spoke out, patting his chest. "If you ever pull some shit like that again I will actually kill you in your sleep."
Eden giggled, struggling to hold her eyes open.
Every little light in the hall made her brain scream at her. It was quite a sight, watching the boy drag the two girls down the hallway like toddlers.
The great hall was already half-full with students enjoying their breakfast, Mattheo sat next to Theo as they ate.
"Dude I was so fucked up." Theo laughed, chucking a piece of a biscuit in his mouth.
Mattheo nodded at him, leaning forward on his elbows as he watched the boy. "If you ever try to kiss me like that again i will end you."
Theo chuckled at the boy, turning to face him.
"Right, I forgot you got cockblocked last night right?"
Mattheo gave the boy a look, rolling his eyes.
"Diggory has it coming, i'll tell you that."
"Speaking of the little firecracker" Theo nodded towards the door, Mattheo turning in response.
He watched as her face came into view, being pulled by the Diggory boy. She barely had her eyes open, wincing every time they changed directions.
He smiled to himself, she looked miserable. He wondered if she'd even remembered her actions from the night before.
She sat down at the table, immediately laying her head down on her arms. He knew the feeling, he could guess she didn't drink often, if at all. He and Theo had already raided the medical supplies, downing the Willow Bark tinctures before they even got up from their beds.
Eden closed her eyes tightly, trying to drown out the loud voices around her as her head throbbed in her skull.
"Here" She heard Cedric speak, glancing up to see him offering her a piece of bacon. She shook her head, bile rising in the back of her throat.
There was no way.
"I promise" He smiled at her "You will feel so much better."
She took the food hesitantly, taking small bites at a time as she coached herself out of puking all over him. She would never be doing that again.
"So," Cedric spoke loudly. "Again tonight?"
━━━━━
She did feel much better after eating, her stomach was back to normal but her head was still reeling. Cedric and Odessa remained in the Great Hall, Eden opting to head back to her dorm. She just wanted to sleep it all off.
She walked through the outdoor corridors, hugging her arms close to protect her from the cold. It was November, the winter air beginning to make its presence known.
She walked a few more feet, nodding at a few students as they passed by. Before she could round the corner she felt a hand grab her shoulder, turning her around to face them. She looked up, struggling to open her eyes fully as she flashed the boy a soft smile.
"Hey Mattheo '' She had no energy to play his games today, she needed her bed.
"Here" He spoke up, pulling something from his pocket. "I thought you might need this."
She eyed the small vial in his palm, the glass was amber-colored, making the liquid inside look black. She glanced back up at him, shaking her head in confusion.
"What's that?"
"Just drink it" He grabbed her hand, setting the vial in her palm. "It will help."
She eyed him suspiciously, why would he try to help her?
