Riddle Me - Mattheo x Reader

The Pain He Was In

Professor McGonagall's eyes narrowed dangerously, her glare burning through our faces. 'Mister Riddle, and Miss Malfoy. Why were you two in the Gryffindor common room at 4 in the morning?' Her thin lips had formed a rigid line and she continued to stare us down. 'Well?'

'Uhm...We-' I was lost for words, I didn't know how to justify it. Though I was dead tired a few minutes ago, my mind was now wide awake, and the cogs in my brain were working so hard I had a headache. 

'I think you 'ought to know, Professor.' Mattheo said confidently, staring McGonagall in the eye. 'Harry Potter is in terrible danger.' he screamed in agony as soon as he said it.

McGonagall's face fell, her eyes concerned, 'Mister Riddle, are you alright, I'll bring Madam Pomfrey.'

'No, stop!' he yelled.

'Excuse me?' McGonagall's eyes were filled with utter and unmistakable shock, 'Mister Riddle.' she was standing now, her face full of worry.

'I know that I am His son, but believe me, I'm not like him. Why would I warn you about my father's plans if that's what happened? I- I need a quill and parchment.' I handed him the nearest ones. He scrawled words on the paper his handshaking.

Harry is in danger. My father is trying to kill him, he's going to do it in the third challenge. You need to protect him, please. He cast a charm on me so I don't reveal any plans, the more I do the worse the pain gets. He can hear what I say, but he can't see what I do. Help him. Please. Protect them all. All the competitors.

He thrust the piece of parchment in Professor McGonagall's direction, as she read her face was sinking into a hole of dread. 'Very well, Mister Riddle. I will talk be talking to Professor Snape and Flitwick. Y/n please take Mister Riddle to Madam Pomfrey as soon as possible.'

'NO. DON'T TELL PROFESSOR SNAPE, HE KNOWS IT ALL HE'S HELPING HIM.' Mattheo yelled.

McGonagall said nothing as the door shut behind us. Mattheo was clutching the side of his torso, hunched over leaning against the rough wall for support. I helped him through corridors and down the stairs then into the hospital wing. His face was drained and his body was limp. 

'Merlin! Child what has happened to you?!' Madam Pomfrey said startled.

'Help him please!' I said, struggling to support his weight.

'Why do you think I work here child? Hurry bring him here!' I did as she said placing his body gently on the bed. His uniform was stained with blood, and his hand was too. 'You need to go, this will get gruesome.'

I hesitated, 'No, I need to stay here!'

'I said no. You will leave now Miss Malfoy!'

'I'm the child of a Death Eater, I've seen worse!' I said, Miss Pomfrey didn't say anything to this.

'Fine. But you better sit way over there.' she said hunched over the panting Mattheo as blood dripped onto the sheets, she gestured towards the far end of the room as she cut open his shirt and hovered her wand above the bloody gash. 'I said go sit there before I change my mind.'
