The Slytherins had won yet another match against Gryffindor, and so, a party was in full swing. Flashing lights and loud music filled the common room at the late hour. Even the prefects were too busy enjoying themselves to care about the rules.
Y/N emerged from her dorm room with Pansy-her roommate and close friend. As her gaze drifted across the room from the top of the staircase, the sight of people dancing to the music, some going crazy with the Firewhisky.
βWell? Shall we get going, y/n/n?β Pansy asked, a little smirk on her lips at the sight.
βLead the way, mβlady.β You quip back with a light, soft laugh. The duo made their way down the staircase, when you suddenly spoke up βDo you think Daniel will be there?β You ask hopefully, a faint, almost unnoticeable blush on your cheeks.
Pansy rolls her eyes at the mention of your boyfriend. She didnβt like the guy, nor did she hide it. βYeahβ¦he might be around. Who cares?β she scoffs.
You frown a little at her dismissive reply, but you brush it off as her general dislike for him.Β
The two girls approach the rest of the group, Mattheo flirting with some girl who was perched on the armrest next to him, while Theo and Draco were arguing about something trivial, as usual. Blaise and Lorenzo were watching them fight with much amusement, occasionally making remarks or taking a sip of their drinks.
βThe devil and the angel arrive hand in hand.β Theo announces, breaking his fight with Draco to say so. Pansy rolls her eyes at his words, while Lorenzo gets up so you can sit down, as there wasnβt enough place.
βThank you Enzoβ¦you didnβt need to do that..β You say softly, touched by your best friendβs kind gesture.Β
βBut I wanted to. Not a problem, Y/N/N.β He answers softly, a small grin on his lips as he watches you sit down. Lorenzo sits down on the floor next to where you sat, his back next to your legs.Β
βYou still didnβt tell us whoβs the angel and devil between Y/N and Pansy, mate...β Blaise pipes up, a smirk on his lips.Β
βY/N is the angel, obviously.β Enzo says playfully, turning his head to look up at you with a teasing smirk.
βWait, is that a good thing or a bad thing, Pans?β You ask Pansy, who was sitting on the armrest next to Blaise. Pansy shrugs in response, she didnβt mind it either way.Β
Theo smirks at everyone, happy with the little confusion he made. βIβll let you guys figure it out.β He says, taking a drag from his cigarette before anyone could ask him anything else.Β
Around an hour passed in friendly banter and gossip, but your attention wasnβt fully there. You were almost a hundred percent sure Daniel would attend this party, after all, he was the kind of personΒ who loved to attend social gatherings.
Enzo frowns a little as he notices your behavior, nudging your knee to get your attention. "Hey Angel...something on your mind?" He asks softly, gazing at you curiously. He had a sneaking suspicion it had something to do with your idiot of a boyfriend.
"Yeah...just wondering what Daniel's up to....didn't even meet me. That is, if he even came..." You murmur softly, a little frown forming on your face.
Enzo's heart ached at the sight of that little frown, he hated that it was there because of him.
"Don't worry, Angel...just enjoy the moment." He says softly, giving you a reassuring look.
You give him a small, unconvincing smile. "I'm not worried, Enz...I'll be right back." You say quickly, before standing up and walking away before he could protest.
"Wai- Where are you going, Y/N?" He calls out, his eyes slightly concerned yet also confused, quickly standing up and following behind.
He soon catches up to you, his long strides making it easier to walk fast, as he gently holds your wrist.
"Where are going, Angel? And...why are you so upset? Did I say something wrong?" Enzo asks softly, his chocolate brown eyes concerned as he gently turns you to face him.
"You didn't do anything, Enz....I'm just..." You bite your lip, thinking of how to phrase it as your brow furrows, before you get it.
"Going to see Dan, is all.." You say, looking up at him.
As soon as the words leave your mouth, a frown forms on Enzo's perfect features. "Oh...okay. Let me walk you there, Y/N. Its late." He says softly, but it was just an excuse to be around you longer. Plus, he didn't trust that Daniel guy. he was a right prick according to Enzo.
"I'll be okay, y'know..." You murmur softly, as the two of you make the way up the staircase leading to the boys dorms. You had a really bad feeling about this.
Enzo smiles softly. "I know you'll be okay, angel....but I don't think I'd forgive myself if something happened to you" He says in a gentlemanly manner, a teasing gleam in his eyes, one that makes you hit his arm playfully.
"Ow....that's considered assault. Way to be a lady, Y/N." Enzo says, as he rubs the spot where you "hit" him jokingly, feigning hurt, as the two of you reach the top of the winding staircase.
You roll your eyes playfully as you reach Daniel's shared dorm, your heart feeling lighter at his teasing. But that doesn't last long.
There, Daniel was sitting on his bed, a girl straddling his lap and giggling annoyingly.
Enzo's eyes darken at the sight. He feels a wave of anger and the need to punch something wash over him, how dare that idiot ever do this to Y/N, his sweet angel?
He was just about to storm in when you gently held his arm to stop him, even if your own eyes were filled with tears threatening to spill, your lips pursed slightly.
Lorenzo almost pushes you off as you hold him back, too consumed by his rage. But one look at your face, the same pretty face he could admire for hours now on the verge of tears, his face softens significantly.
"Angel..." He sighs softly, his heart clenching painfully at the sight of you so utterly hurt. Enzo gently takes your hand in his own, marveling at the difference in size and the softness of your skin.
But he quickly brushes the thought away, you needed him right now, and he would do just that.
βC-Can we leave, Enzβ¦please?β You murmur softly, your eyes filled with a deep sense of pain. Your heart was clenching painfully with betrayal and hurt, and you didn't feel like confronting him. Heck, you didn't want to ever see him again.
Enzo nods in understanding, as he strokes your hand comfortingly. "C'mon....let's go to my dorm. We don't have to go back to the party, Y/N"
You give him a weak little smile, as he gently leads you to his shared dorm, it would probably be empty because of the party. His hand rested comfortingly on your back, as he walks with you, and soon enough, the pair of you reach his dorm.
"I...I honestly never thought he would do something like this....guess Pans was right all along..." You murmur bitterly, as the tears finally spill, rolling down your cheeks.
Each tear that fell down from your beautiful eyes was like a stab to Lorenzo's heart, as he gently tilts your chin to meet his gaze, wiping away your tears with his thumbs. "Everything's gonna be okay, angel..." He murmurs, as he pulls you in for a hug.
You practically melt in his embrace, wrapping your arms around his neck, as you sob in his shirt.
Lorenzo could feel the tears staining his clothes, but he didn't care, as he held you close, one hand soothingly running through your soft hair, the other holding you protectively.
"Shh sweetheart....I'm here for you...its alright..." He soothes softly, his heart was aching at your tearful state. He wanted to take away all your hurt and just wanted to see that sweet smile of yours he loved so much.
You pulled away reluctantly, your body shaking slightly, as he gently leads you to his bed, sitting you down before sitting down next to you.
"Can I stay here tonight, Enzo?" You murmur softly, you weren't sure what you would do if you were alone once again.
"Of course, angel....I got you." He says softly, taking your hand in his once again.
You sigh softly, a sense of relief washing over you. You then rest your head on Enzo's lap, just like he had done so many times before.
Lorenzo's heart flutters at your tired action. Sure, the two of you had done things like this before, but for some reason, it felt different. It felt...right.
"Do you want to talk about it, sweet angel?" Enzo murmurs softly, as he gently strokes your hair.
"No...not really, Enz.." You reply softly, the exhaustion of the day catching up to you slowly but surely, as a little yawn slips through.
"Tired, Y/N?" He asks, though both of you already know the answer.
You stifle another yawn behind a closed fist, nodding slightly.
Lorenzo chuckles softly, you were so adorable when you were sleepy. "C'mon, angel...lets get you in bed." He whispers softly, his chocolate brown eyes fond.
Lorenzo gently lifts you up from his lap, and places you on his bed, before getting in himself.
"Comfortable, Y/N?" He asks softly, as he turns on his side to face you.
You nod in response. "Yeah...but why is it so cold in your dorm?" You ask softly, shivering slightly from the cold.
Enzo notices this, and pulls a warm blanket over the two of you, before scooting over so that the two of you were lying next to the other.
"Better?" He asks softly, his gaze caring and sweet. He wanted to reach out and touch you, gently caress your hair, but he supposed it was better for you to get your sleep.
"Yeah...goodnight, Enzo.." You murmur sleepily, your eyelids fluttering shut no matter how much you wanted to stay awake a little longer, as you gently rest your head on his shoulder.
"Goodnight, angel...sweet dreams." Lorenzo whispers softly, as he turns off the lights with a flick of his wand, getting comfortable himself.
"Enz? Can you hold me?" You mumble softly, you just hoped you weren't disturbing him or anything.
"Mh- Yeah, Y/N. Anything for you." He answers softly, as he gently wraps his arms around you, holding you close. He could feel the warmth of your body seeping into his through your clothes. God, this was comfy. Now even he was feeling a little sleepy.
"I just wanted to thank you for always being there for me...I love you." You mumble sleepily, as your eyes flutter shut and you slowly fall asleep.
Lorenzo's heart almost stopped at those last three words.
You...you said that you loved him. But then again, did you mean it as a friend, or...?
He sighs softly, he'd have to ask you later. But for now, he took it the way his heart wished it would be- That you loved him the way he loved you.
He knew it was stupid to do that. What if you didn't mean it that way? What if it was something that just slipped out of your mouth while you were sleepy?
"If you were my girl, I would never run away" Lorenzo thought, his heart aching for the one person who could make him feel this way.
But as Lorenzo lay with you in his arms and contentment in his heart, one thing was clear to him.
He was whipped for you, his childhood best friend.
God, this was long overdue.
Should I make a part 2 or leave it at that? I honestly don't know π
