Mattheo scoffs almost letting it turn into historical laughter. "A muggle, Father?" He laughs bewildered. "What did she do so bad to you that this was the end result."

His body jerks forward again and the voices get louder, that thing needs to be stopped. Of course his body was wanting to go to it, his Father hadn't thought that through.

"She left me with you." His Father snarls "She was a stupid muggle I let get in the way and just because she gave me an heir she thought she could control me, so I killed her."

"Was it on purpose or by accident?" Mattheo snapped "Are you completely bullshitting me?"

Voldemort took a step closer with a taunting gaze, like his stare would make Mattheo submit like it had before "I killed her because I wanted to."

"You say you killed her because you want to be seen as powerful." Mattheo smiles wickedly "taking a lucky guess, I'd say I'm the one who killed her."

"You don't know what you're talking about." Voldemort snapped stumbling backwards from his words.

"I killed her during labour didn't I Father?" He says with a venomous tone. "You were so ridiculously in love with her but when she died who did you see as the killer?"

"Me." Voldemort says with slight hesitation "I killed her."

"No, inside you blame me and that's why my years of torture have been a result of your broken heart, with the help of Bellatrix."

Mattheo's body lurches forward again but this time it feels like his head goes with it. His mind it fuzzy, his eyes blur and his mind feels like someone else's entirely.

Continuous words play in his mind like a puzzle and when Ember comes up he seems to be able to shake out of it. He blinks and has the ability to see clearly again.

His head turns to Ember and when he's about to call for her, to help her many doors surrounding them bang open. The first door his sight sets on has Blaise and Theodore standing in the doorway ready with their wands. The next has Lorenzo and Luna also standing ready, it's clear to see the relief flashing through Blaise's eyes.

The next door over Hermione is being held back by Draco as he talks to her wordlessly. But it's already too late, her eyes have blurred over and she's focused on the light. As Draco is about to pull her out of the room death eaters grab Draco and let Hermione go to the light.

Draco yells for her to stop but to no avail she keeps walking. The Death Eater takes off his mask and Draco's eyes gloss with a deadly stare. Lucius re-grips his arms and mutters something into his ear, making him watch his love disappear into the green light.

This is what his Father had planned for him.

While the distraction is forward Mattheo leaps at his Father, ripping himself from the other Death Eaters grips and tumbling to the ground on top of him. Mattheo groans from the pain in his head but finds a grip onto Voldemorts neck, squeezing as hard as he can.

That's when all hell breaks loose, Luna, Lorenzo, Blaise and Theodore all charge forward erupting the room in chaos. Mattheo stares at the two bodies in the whirlwind of green and curses through his clenched teeth trying to come up with a plan. It's easy to say that he knew his father would get the better hand soon.

His Father grabs his wand a tries to grunt a spell at Mattheo. Before he can do so Mattheo is rolling away about to run for Ember.

He glances back at Voldemort to see him standing and pointed his wand right at him. "Sectumsempra." He yells. Mattheo curses and lunges to the right, rolling as far as possible.
