Dark Ages (DISCONTINUED)

Mattheo Riddle's POV

I just returned home from winter break a few days ago. The ball this year was not what I expected, I usually loved the attention but this year something was off.

Inside me?

It was 5:56 am when I watched the news, muggle news to be exact and I saw a news that made my heart skip a beat, I knew who it was instantly but I still had my doubts despite my father being the Dark Lord.

I was strolling around the house nervously when I spotted few people entering father's study, they were wearing long black coats and had a mask in their hands, probably marked death eaters, I had no idea who they were. I nodded as they passed by and bided me good evening. Why exactly are they here?

I know that father is upto no good, whenever I tried to hear what they were speaking, I got caught and well...I get punished. But this time Im older, I know how to do things better.

I leaned my ear against the door, I just heard footsteps. Then came my father's voice "Are you aware of it?"

"Yes, my lord"

"Where is he?" There was pure hate in his voice.

"W-we er don't know, we're searching all day and night, but McGonagall is not allowing us inside Hogwarts, he could be there," I heard the man say fear trembling in his voice.

"And m-my lor-" he was interrupted by father. "Mattheo" he called out. I flinched and bit my tounge. How did he know?

I slowly opened the door and starred at the ground as he walked towards me. "What have I told you about eavesdropping!" He yelled at me, I flinched again. He grabbed me by my shirt collar and dragged me outside "don't come here again." I nodded at his words like a servent, he closed the door at my face. I rolled my eyes once he was gone.

Of course mum doesn't know about this, I don't let her know. I sighed quietly and went to my room. Its better at Hogwarts then being here, I could be with my friends and her, even though she hates me.

12 people have been killed mysteriously right here at the spot you're seeing, there hasn't been any reportings, the CCTV cameras couldn't capture anything, some say there was a green light and- this repeated in my head and it stopped abruptly as I heard a knock from the door.

"Come in" I yelled.

I saw my mum enter. "Hey mum" I smiled at her. "Hi sweetheart, watcha doing?" She asked me.

"Oh just usual stuff" I said. "Do you wanna go to uncle Draco's tomorrow?" she said. "Is this even a question" I grinned in response. "Great" she exclaimed, "we'll go there for lunch" she added and left the room.

I walked towards my bathroom and turned on the water, it felt like heaven; a long ice cold shower is all I need.

I wore a black full hand sweater, grey track pants and went down to dinner scrolling my phone. "Mattheo no phone on the table" mum said with a stern look. "Fine" I muttered and kept the phone inside my pocket.

When father enetred my mum kissed him in the cheek, I rolled my eyes. "Tom want to accompany me to the mall" She said and paused, looking at the calender. "This weekend?" She continued.  She was the only person who could call him by a silly name in the entire wizarding world. "I will see if I have time darling, if I can't make it, Mattheo will come" he replied and kissed her in the cheek. I hope he doesn't come.

I rolled my eyes again.

We started to eat our dinner, when father as usual complained on my eating habbits, and how I just looked like him but I was nothing like him, I huffed at him and started to eat more wildly, he rolled his eyes at that.
