Another World {M.R}

Embers POV

Another week went by, and plans are slowly coming along. We came up with the plan to save my parents next week when it was suspected Voldemort was going to use the necklace.

But until then I used my time reading books and hanging out with everyone. My mind went to the day we have to leave so many times.

If we leave

I haven't seen Mattheo since he dropped me off. I keep telling myself not to be worried, but I always am. He has this tough exterior, I have almost broke through it a few times, but he ended up closing it off again and I can't seem to find the cause.

I was currently sitting in the library reading Romeo and Juliet. I've read it before, for school, but I never understood. Now with all the time I have, I started to connect to the words and what they truly mean.

"Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears."

-Romeo

While I was thinking about it a window rattled. I jumped and stood up from the couch and creeped over. The carpet kept my footsteps soft as I raised the book in a hitting position. I tardily walk closer, my hands slightly shaking.

When I was In line with the window there was a silhouette in the darkness "shhh" at the window

When they turned I swung the book as hard as I could right at their head. They fell back on the wall with a yelp and groan. A hand flew up to their head and rubbed where I hit while I turned on a lamp on a nearby desk.

"Mattheo?" I whisper yelled

I was trying the hide the smile that threatened to rise. Truly, I was supposed to be angry at him for staying away for so long and making me worry.

He groaned again pushing himself off the wall standing up right.

My voice soon raged in a whisper "where" I hit him with the book on the shoulder "the hell" I hit him again but on the other shoulder "have you" I whisper yelled hitting him again "been" I finished hitting him one last time.

"Ember- Jesus woman" he hissed "stop it"

I stopped when he took the book out of my hands and threw it on the floor.

"You disrespected Romeo and Juliet" I halted and picked up the book, when I stood straight upon he flinched back thinking I was going to hit him again. I smirked at his reaction and walked over to the table ad let it slide out of my hand onto the wood "I was worried" I crossed my arms over my chest.

He smirked stalking closer "oh?"

"Yes" I dragged out the 's' walking backwards

"I would have thought you would have been scared" he tilted his head to the side

"Why is that" my back hit the wall behind me making my feet stop in their spot. I watched as Mattheo casually strolled forward until he was right in front of me, our bodies touching.

His head dipped down to my ear "you should be scared because you disrespected my orders" he whispered "don't you remember. How you went on a date with Draco and risked your life going to the Manor, hm? I remember telling you there was a punishment in order"

"I can do what I want" I spoke confidently "And that's not the last time I will be visiting your Father to get what I want"

"What did you say?" He asked bringing his head back to look at my face
