thorns or roses? · Y/n story by @secretsun

the hogwarts express is chugging along like it's got a hot date with hogsmeade. you're in a compartment with your usual suspects: theo, draco, blaise, pansy, daphne, astoria, and lorenzo. it's all chill. well, as chill as it gets when you're about to start your seventh year and your ex-boyfriend of three years is on the same train with his new, very tall, very blonde human golden retriever.

Theodore Nott

slouches deeper into his seat, staring out the window i give it ten minutes before the drama llama arrives.

Daphne Greengrass

don't jinx it, theo.

he jinxed it. the compartment door slides open.

Mattheo Riddle

hey.

and there he is. mattheo riddle. all 6'4" of emotionally constipated ex-boyfriend. and glued to his side like a particularly shiny accessory is amelie warren. she's smiling so wide it looks like it hurts.

Amelie Warren

hi, everyone! waves with both hands wow, what a full compartment! it's so great to see you all!

Pansy Parkinson

muttering under her breath volume control, warren. it's a train, not a quidditch stadium.

Blaise Zabini

there's room if you don't mind sitting on the floor.

Amelie Warren

oh, we don't mind! right, matty?

Mattheo Riddle

his eyes flick to you for half a second before looking away yeah. whatever.
