The Diary's of Him and I

Part Four- Mending Memories

That next morning there was a knock at my door then Theo entered. "Hey, I was just making sure you're okay before I went to class and see if you needed anything." "I'm good thank you, Theo." I smiled. "Mattheo is lucky, you look gorgeous. Just make sure he knows if he hurts you I'll hurt him." He winked while giving me a hug before heading out. "I can handle him on my own." I winked back at him as he shut the door behind him. Then my owl appeared at my window.

I used to love letters but now I'm not so sure. I've kept every letter I've ever gotten including the ones from the last couple of days. I grabbed the letter and petted its head before it flew away and opened the letter. Astronomy tower at 11. Don't be late D.M. Great, just what I wanted to read. I put the letter in my drawer and ignored it for now.

There was another knock at my door "Come in" I said from the other side of my room. Mattheo walked in carrying 11 red roses "I got these for you, there's only 11 because I gave you the other one yesterday." Mattheo said, handing them to me. My face lit up, as I said red roses were my favorite and I don't get them often. I buried my face in the roses and took a deep breath. "How did you know I liked these?" I said smiling. "I asked Lupin the other day since you've known each other for a long time and she said that red roses were your favorite." He said, smiling back. "Classic Em." I said giggling a bit while putting the flowers in some water before we headed out. Mattheo laughed a bit as well. I looked up and was met by a smiling Mattheo. I truly don't know what it was but his smile was hypnotic. I couldn't help but smile back. "Merlin Kaitlyn you really are fucking stunning." He said, pushing his pride to the side for a moment. I blushed a bit. "Not too bad yourself Riddle." I said grinning. He shook his head with a smile before reaching his hand out for mine.

We walked through the quiet corridors and out of the castle taking in the beautiful shades of orange, yellow, and red that painted every tree and all over the ground as well from fallen leaves. When we arrived at Hogsmeade it wasn't super busy which was nice and we went straight to the three broomsticks. We sat down and ordered two butterbeers. "My lord, this is so good. I haven't had one of these things in ages." I said, sipping my drink. "Me either, probably since I was 6 or 7 when Mrs.Malfoy brought Draco and I here when she did her errands." Mattheo said doing the same. "Are you close with Mrs.Malfoy?" "Yeah Narcissa, she's like the mother I never had." He said, tilting his head a bit "...That's the most down-to-earth and outgoing person I've ever met, and that's to everyone not just her blood." Mattheo added. "She sounds amazing." I said smiling. "You should meet her sometime, Merlin you guys would get along so well. She's never had someone like a daughter, just Draco and I." Mattheo said, smiling back at me.

This man was gorgeous and was truly so sweet. I was very content with where I was right now. Here in this little pub with a bloody fine guy and a clear head. We went on talking for about an hour and a half about random things. I told Mattheo a bit about my family and my close friends and he talked about how I should go to one of his quidditch games which made me laugh. "You do know my brother plays for the Hufflepuff team right Riddle?" "Yes but I'm obviously way cooler and I must say I look pretty hot in my uniform." He said grinning. "Oh is that so Mr.Riddle. Now tell me, how do you think I could possibly find you attractive." I said tilting my head. He stood up and twirled around to give me a full view of himself before putting his hands up "Come on now Kaitlyn, you don't have to lie." "Wowwwwww okay Mattheo, and how should I know if this hypothetical fondness goes both ways." "Because I never lied. I told you that you were stunning." I couldn't help but blush a bit at his very forward statement.

We talked a bit more than headed to look at some shops. I knew Mattheo didn't want to do this but after all, it was he who made the plans. No matter how much he didn't want to go to the shops he kept a smile on his face and just went with it. I had gotten more than I expected. I got a few new outfits for the days we don't have class as well as some for little parties that were always being thrown. I also went into a jewelry store and found the most beautiful necklace. It was an emerald in the center (my favorite) and it was surrounded by tiny diamonds. I've always bought my own stuff since that was how I was raised so I had no problem buying my stuff all day today other than the butterbeers we had even with as much as Mattheo tried to plead with me to let him pay. I guess I'm more stubborn than I thought, but when I found this necklace I knew I was going to buy it because I'd never seen one like it. Well, Mattheo didn't like that I was going to buy it for myself, he was very insistent on paying. Very insistent. "Kaitlyn Elizabeth Diggory! If you don't put your fucking wallet away I'm going to carry you out of here and you're not going to get it at all." Mattheo said, probably tired of the fight I put up all day. "Riddle, let me buy my own stuff! You do not need to pay for me, I can handle myself." "I know you can handle yourself but please Kaitlyn just let me buy something you're making me feel like a bad person." He pleaded. "You bought drinks and this is expensive so let me get it." I said putting my hand on his arm. "I don't give a shit about the money, I have plenty to blow so move and let me pay this is your last chance." he said crossing his arms looking down at me. "No." I said, crossing my arms back at him. Next thing I knew I was thrown over his shoulder and he walked out just as he said he would do if I didn't let him get it for me. "Mattheo Riddle let me down right now." "No." he mocked my voice when I told him no in the store. "We're going for a walk and then going back to Hogwarts." "But I wanted that necklace!!!" I said in a very childish voice while pouting. "And I said if you weren't going to let me buy it that you weren't going to get it at all." Mattheo reasoned with me. I just exhaled sharply and rolled my eyes. "I'm a man of my word Diggory, I always stick to what I say. Like how I said if you kept on with your insistence on buying the necklace and not let me buy it I would carry you out over my shoulder and where are you now? Over my shoulder." He said shaking his head but having a small smile on his face.
