POV
You and your enemy started a heated discussion during class - and got detention after school. What a bummer! Hours later, Filch already awaits you for your punishment. It's nighttime when he sends the two of you to the Forbidden Forest.
After walking around for a while, you both suddenly trip and fall into a dark hole in the ground. Looks like you're trapped together...
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Draco Malfoy
✦ draco is totally freaking out
✦ "i can't believe it. this is not how my life is supposed to end. especially not with you here" he hisses
✦ you roll your eyes and sigh
✦ "calm down, malfoy. someone's gonna find us eventually"
✦ he grimaces "exactly. and merlin knows what kind of creature that would be"
✦ you look up to the sky and feel yourself getting nervous
✦ "what about leviosa? the levitating charm?" draco suddenly asks
✦ you shake your head
✦ "it's too dark. we'd just hurt ourselves in the process"
✦ draco grunts "on salazar, i swear my father will hear about this"
✦ you murmur "oh i bet"
✦ he walks closer to you and whispers "i beg your pardon?"
✦ you grin "oh nothing darling"
Mattheo Riddle
✦ mattheo is sitting down on the floor
✦ as you try to come up with a solution to escape, he pulls out a cigarette
✦ you stare at him aghast
✦ "are you actually kidding me right now, riddle?" you snap at him
✦ he just grins
✦ slightly waving his wand, he murmurs "lumos" and a small ball of light emerges
✦ "relax, chica. it's not the worst situation i've been in, believe me"
✦ you groan "you know what? i do believe you. but this... this is like my worst nightmare"
✦ he smirks "what? being trapped in a dark hole with me?"
✦ you try not to blush, then remember he probably wouldn't see it anyway
✦ "come on, riddle. don't be too full of yourself" you say as confidently as you can
✦ he just shrugs, the smile never leaving his face "i'm just saying, i could imagine worse..."
✦ just as you're about to calm down, he adds:
✦ "besides... i never knew i could make you blush so easily, y/n"
✦ you look at him angry
✦ "oh shut it, riddle. there's no way you could see that"
✦ he grins even wider
✦ "oh well, darling. you just admitted it, so..."
Theodore Nott
✦ theo stands next to you with crossed arms
✦ you're both looking up to the sky, trying to find a way out
✦ theo suddenly laughs
✦ you look at him confused "what's so funny, nott?!"
✦ he chuckles "oh nothing. it's just the fact that you're in here with me"
✦ you furrow your brows
✦ "what do you mean?"
✦ he looks down at you with a smirk
✦ "i get in trouble all the time, but for you? i think that's a first"
✦ you squint your eyes "oh it is. i'm only in detention because of YOUR stupid bickering during class"
✦ theo clicks his tongue
✦ "if you say so, principessa..."
✦ the way he looks at you now, a warm shiver runs down your spine
✦ "let's just- get out of here" you stutter and try to regain focus...
Lorenzo Berkshire
✦ enzo is FUMING
✦ stomping around, he hisses "how on earth are we gonna get out of here, hm? this is all your fault!"
✦ you stare at him surprised"my fault?! you're the one who chose to walk an 'alternative' pathway! and now look where it's gotten us" you counter furiously
✦ enzo massages his temples
✦ "what a nightmare" he murmurs
✦ you both sink to the ground, sitting there in silence
✦ "so... what now?" he asks eventually
✦ "how would i know?!" you answer
✦ enzo rubs the back of his head "you're the smart one, not me"
✦ you can't help but grin a little "finally, you're speaking some facts. but i guess we'll have to wait for help"
✦ he looks at you skeptical "wait for filch? that's gonna take centuries"
✦ you chuckle "then you better get comfortable on the floor, berkshire"
✦ he leans his head against the cold soil and sighs "never thought you'd ever say that to me"
Pansy Parkinson
✦ pansy curses loudly, shouting at the trees above you
✦ you cover your ears "ouch, are you done now, parkinson?"
✦ she grunts "done? i haven't even gotten started"
✦ you chuckle "i don't think you can scream your way out of here"
✦ she crosses her arms "well then watch me"
✦ you raise an eyebrow "you do know there's other creatures in the forest, don't you?"
✦ pansy starts to go pale
✦ "of course i know" she barks but you can tell she didn't think of the possible dangers
✦ after suddenly hearing a wolf howl, you both flinch
✦ "no more screaming from now on, deal?" you whisper with a grin
✦ pansy rolls her eyes "yeah whatever. but what now?"
✦ you wink at her
✦ "now we climb."
Tom Riddle
this man would never get detention - but he'd supervise you. and watch you fall.
✦ "tom, can you hear me?" you loudly call from inside the hole
✦ everything around you is pitch black
✦ before you can get your wand out, you hear a thumping sound on the ground
✦ "riddle, is that you?" you ask quietly
✦ after one second, a small light radiates from the tip of someone's wand - it's tom!
✦ 'thank merlin he's here', you think quietly
✦ even though you would never admit it, relief floods through you
✦ "did you fall down, too? are you alright?" you ask breathlessly
✦ tom looks at you knowingly
✦ "oh i'm fine, don't worry."
✦ not noticing his tone, you look up worried and sigh "how are we ever gonna get out of here though?"
✦ tom looks at you intrigued
✦ "come here." he demands & you confusedly do as told
✦ tom grabs your arms while closing his eyes. "what are you-" you begin to say but he shushes you
✦ "i need to concentrate" he murmurs
✦ you furrow your brows "why are you-"
✦ your thoughts are interrupted by the fact that your feet are peeling off the ground
✦ "what the-" you whisper and hold on tight to him
✦ tom and you suddenly start FLYING - without a broom!
✦ you can't believe your eyes as he successfully lifts you both out of the hole, back to the forest
✦ you look at him in awe "how are you doing that? since when? how?"
✦ he looks at you calmly "there's many things you don't know."
✦ your mouth still open, you whisper "no one's mastered unsupported flying in centuries, tom. this is... this is..."
✦ you can barely make out his features in the dark but you feel like you can see the sparkle in his eyes
✦ "i know." he replies with the hint of pride in his voice "it is quite something."
✦ "you have to tell the others. do the teachers know? we've got to-"
✦ tom looks at you condescendingly and comes closer
✦ "oh darling, there is no 'we'. and now..."
✦ a dark smile appears on his face as he whispers:
✦ "obliviate."
