Theodore's Pov:
I waited for Aliyah after coming back from a day out with her girls, meeting her at the astronomy tower at midnight for a somewhat 'date'.
Nobody knew about us except for Enzo, Daphne and Pansy, and we trusted they wouldn't tell anyone. They also promised they'd help cover up for us in case of any inconvenience.
So I waited until midnight, smoking my cigarette when I heard her footsteps coming up the tower's stairs and threw it away. She came in shorts and the sweater I got her for her birthday and sat next to me by the edge.
"Ciao bella" I smiled, "Hi" she chuckled. "Missed you this week, been busy practicing for our match." I chuckled as well. "Well with all the training, we're one hundred percent going to win" she reassured
"Not unless I get distracted by you" I joked and she giggled, rolling her eyes sarcastically "shut it, we're going to do amazing"
I smiled again, my god, she's gorgeous under the moonlight. So pretty, so beautiful even while laughing. So cute.
I kissed her softly and gently, pulling her closer and I could feel her lips smiling against mine. I could kiss her lips for hours even if it meant running out of breath.
And even if it feels too quick, it was almost as if her lips, my lips, apocalypse.

The whole team flew back to the ground, smiling and laughing as the stands cheered 'Slytherin' after winning with 220 points to Hufflepuff.
I gave Aliyah a small wink and smile before she left to her locker room. I followed behind her a few minutes later, opening the door and finding her waiting for me. "Hey" she stood up from the bench she was sitting on "Hey, we won!" I hugged her as she started to giggle "Told you so."
"Are you hurt or anything? That bludger to the knee must've hurt" I pulled away and looked at her in slight concern. "Small bruise but I'll be fine" she smiled. "We won!" She kissed my lips and I did back, placing my hands on her waist and smiling into the kiss just the way I know she loves it, her cheeks turning pink.
I chuckled and buried my face in her neck, leaving a small kiss making her hands get their way into my hair. Dio mio, the things she does to me with just that little move.
Just then, we heard the door click and I could feel Al immediately freeze, relaxing when she realized it was only Enzo. "Do you know what could've happened if it was Mattheo and not me?" Enzo chuckled "You've got to be more careful" he hugged her.
I chuckled, " 's fine", Enso chuckled as well, pulling away to hug me "You guys played good, congrats. Get ready, the party's in an hour" he left.

Aliyah arrived to the celebration party a bit later and I guess she'd invited the Weasley twins and a few other Gryffindors since they invited her to their party. Guess it was only fair.
And not that I hate Gryffindors or anything, but I just despised George and Aliyah together as friends. I know Fred has a girlfriend so he wouldn't dare, but George.
Yet, Every time they hangout together, Aliyah simply comes back crawling to me. She's all mine, I love her being all mine, no one else's.
I looked at her enviously as she chatted with him. The way he looks at her makes me want to rip that ginger hair off his scalp as he eyes her outfit up and down. Leather skirt, sweater and docs. Quite a normal outfit, but the way he was looking at her made it seem different.
Daphne shook her head 'no' at me as I started to walk towards them, standing behind Aliyah "Mind if I steal Al here for a moment?" I said more than asked, pulling Aliyah to a corner "Who're you trying to impress with that outfit?" I joked, she rolled her eyes sarcastically "Teddy, it's a skirt, and it's not even that short"
"Well that's not what George seems to think" I suggested. "Theo, you do not have to worry about me and George hanging out together. We're just friends, nothing else, and that's what we have to look like unless we want everyone to know about us"
I sighed and rubbed my temples "Fuck it, wear it, but meet me at my dorm in thirty" I whispered in her ear before going back to my seat with my friends.
"Why so grumpy?" teased Blaise with a chuckle, "Nothing, I'm not 'grumpy'" I mumbled, taking a sip of my drink and fiddling with the rings on my fingers. The fingers she oh so loves having all over her. Not going to let her forget that in a bit.
I looked over at her again, only to find her uncomfortably trying to ignore a what seemed to look like drunk Adrian Pucey. I immediately got up and slowly approached the situation.
"Baby, Aliyah, please. I know I was being a dick on that date, take me back, I'm a changed man" he alluded. "Adrian, please leave me alone"
"Al, what's going on?" I asked, she simply gestured to the drunken boy slurring over his words. Who even gets that drunk only an hour and a half into a party?
"Hey, man, I'm just trying to get my girl back" he mumbled out. I raised a brow, his girl?
"Your girl?" I scoffed "Mate, are you the one making out with her every night?" I testified lowly so that nobody else around could hear, except him and Al.
"Theo, stop" she placed a hand on my shoulder, "C'mon it's not worth the fight" she and I tried to walk away from it all.
"I knew it, you're a pussy, can't even fight for her like a man. Oh, you're just a little boy. Is that why you're too afraid to show her off?" He snorted. I turned back to look at him with a scoff "Show her off? She's not an object. You trying to be bold, Pucey?" I teased and tilted my head
"Not at all, just stating the obvious and getting her back.". "Back?! We were never 'together' in the first place" Aliyah defended.
Adrian turned to look at her "Now don't deny it darling, you know you love me" he winked, and I simply lost it.
I punched that dickhead square in the face "anche se è venuta ad un appuntamento con te, lo odiava e ti odia ancora. Non potrai mai parlare così con una donna, stronza sconsiderata" I automatically cussed out
Aliyah simply slapped her hand over her mouth, watching it turn into a full-on fistfight. "You utter piece of shit" I punched him once again, both our faces now injured.
I got up to walk away with Aliyah, until he spoke again "Yeah, that's it, run away like the little pussycat you are" Pucey teased.
I turned around to finally kick him straight in the balls, Aliyah holding me back and pulling me away "Theodore!" She yelled. "That's what you get, tu stronzo narcisista" I fired in response, getting dragged with her back to my dorm.
She angrily said nothing, though I knew she secretly appreciated that he would now leave her alone.
She dragged me into my bathroom, searching the cupboards for a first aid kit. "Sit" she ordered as she brought one out. I sat on the counter and she stood between my legs, using a wet cloth to clean the blood off my face.
She said nothing, gripping my jaw and dabbing the antiseptic on my still slight bloody nose. "You're hot when you're angry"
"Shut it, Theo"
"Yes Ma'am" I chuckled lowly.
"Hands" she demanded, I put them out and showed her them, knuckles all bloodied, scratched and bruised.
She took my hands into hers and also cleaned them off. I gripped on her hand, wincing at the burning sensation of the antiseptic on the flesh of my skin.
"You shouldn't have fought him like that" she finally spoke, still fixing me up. "Leah, he was bothering you..." I looked down at her.
"That's the way you stop me from getting angry? 'Leah'? That's my nickname now?" she tried her best not to chuckle even a bit. "Mattheo calls you it, and it's better if I call you 'Leah' than 'Al'. It's just better" I smirked, and she finally chuckled a bit.
"Shut it, still. I appreciate what you did but you told him. What if he tells everyone and they find out?" She worried, looking up at me.
"He was over the moon drunk, he won't remember shit" we both giggled. "Thanks." She smiled
"Bella, he bothers you again and I can kick his ass a third time", "Third? You fought him before this?" "Once in third year, he glitter-bombed our dorm" I laughed.
