Please, Not Again... | Mattheo Riddle

Astronomy Tower

I've been obsessed with getting this wandless magic to work again. I just can't do it.

I have to talk to him, he's most likely the only one that could help me get it again. I'll ask him during breakfast.

I checked the time... 3:46 A.M.

'I should probably try sleeping' I thought to myself.

Pansy wasn't in the dorm. Her and Draco broke up again last night and I guess she decided to have some fun with Luna instead of sulking like usual. I have a feeling she'll be staying the night.

-----------------------------------

At Breakfast the next ( technically same ) morning, I sat down next to Theo.

"How come you're not over by Pansy and Blaise?" He questioned.

"Do you not want me here?" I giggled.

"Forget I said anything" He smiled.

 I whispered to him "I do have an ulterior motive"

"What's up?" He asked.

"Meet me at the astronomy tower after breakfast. I'll explain in full lengths then." I told him.

"Um, okay" He agreed.

-------------------------------------------

At the astronomy tower...

I'd arrived a few minutes earlier than Theo and gazed out at the distance, it was a spectacle of sorts. The most magnificent view I'd seen in a while. I didn't even notice Theo was staring at me from behind.

"Merlin!" I almost screamed. "You startled me!"

He chuckled. 

"Enjoying the view?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's beautiful" I replied.

"I enjoyed my view as well, of course it was much prettier than that one" He pointed out the window.

I have to admit, Theo made me feel a certain way... I could love and hate him at the same time, whether he was as sweet and gentle as was just now, or as harsh and rough as I've known him to be.  

"Look, we're not here to hook up" I laughed.

"Well why are we here then?" He questioned.

"I need you're help" I explained.

"With what?"

"Teach me wandless magic" I quietly spoke.

"As much as I would love to teach you that, I can't. It's not something to be learned. If you have it then you have it, if you don't then you don't. Like Parseltongue."

"Okay 1. I speak Parseltongue. And 2. I think I do have it." I informed him.

"What do mean?" He questioned.

"When Enzo woke me up with that water I chased him throughout the halls until he ran into a classroom. That's when I stopped, remembering that I was soaking wet, in pajamas, and not prepared for any classes at all. But when my common sense came back to me, I remembered I'm a wizard and all I need is a spell to fix myself up. The only problem was that I'd left my wand in my dorm. I was so frustrated that my fingers curled up into fists and I opened my hands back up with a jolt, and felt this weird tingly feeling all through my body. I looked down at myself, I was 100% ready. I had my class books, was no longer soaking wet, and was wearing the outfit I had mentally picked out the night before amongst other changes to myself. I did exactly what I intended to do with my wand, without my wand." I explained to him.

"Woah" He spoke.

"Woah? That's it?! I need your help Theo!" I almost screamed at him.

"Okay, um... If that's true then I can help you." He replied.

"Thank Merlin" I sighed.

For the next hour Theo showed me some hand gestures and  gave me some focus tips, but nothing seemed to help.

"Are you sure you weren't dreaming?" He questioned.

I was actually starting to doubt the recent event that had occurred, maybe I was dreaming.

"I'll try one more time." I decided.

I focused as hard as I could, yet still nothing happened. Shit.

"I guess it must've just been a coincidence or something" Theo suggested.

"No it wasn't!" I smacked my hands down on the windowsill of the tower and a huge jolt coursed through my body and knocked me down. I looked around the room to see Theo on the ground as well.

"Theo?" I hesitated.

"What the hell was that?" He groaned in disbelief.

"Me." I stated simply.

"It wasn't a dream." He chuckled holding his sore rib.

"No, it wasn't" I smiled back.
