Falling for a Riddle ( Mattheo Riddle ff - fanfiction)

All fun and games

Amelia turns towards the owner of the voice and sees the same boy who piqued her interest now standing next to the stone steps leading down to the Slytherin common room.

" What do you want Riddle ?" Amelia asked picking up her copy of Pride and Prejudice until Mattheo whisks it away from her and tossing it on to the sofa.

" What is with these Slytherin boys and tossing things around ?" huffed Amelia going behind Mattheo to claim the book again. That was the initial plan but now Mattheo had grabbed her elbow and pushed her in front of him. Now Amelia was staring in to the dark eyes of Mattheo Riddle contemplating her next move.

" Dolohov we had come to the agreement that I would be seeing some magic from you that I had never seen before but here I am still very much intact " he said smirking at Amelia. 

" Riddle, you better take your hand off me in the next two seconds or you won't have hands " Mattheo let go of her hand in surrender.

" Well show me some magic. Or else I'll be forced to believe your here on a lie " Mattheo said crossing his arms.

' Now or never. Just get it over with so that you never have to be in this situation again '

Amelia grabbed Mattheo's hand and dragged his up to her room before locking the door and casting a silencing charm.

" I didn't mean this kind of magic Dolohov. But if we must " Mattheo said spreading his arms out like an angel presenting himself. Amelia shook her head in disgust before walking towards him.

" I was born with a special talent. I don't know how or why I do what I do but I can Control the elements " Amelia saw Mattheo's eyebrow raise in shock and disbelief. He was hanging off her every word. " I can somewhat control fire, water, air and earth. I wasn't able to control it before but I was able to control it for the past 3 years. So since then Voldemort tried to recruit me because he thought I was a ' valuable asset ' " she looked towards Mattheo who still looked a little confused.

Soon his eyebrows knit together in suspense. " But- but that doesn't explain how no one knew that Dolohov had a daughter " 

" Well when I was born my parents left me in a room with a fireplace. The fire was getting dimmer and it was snowing so I unintentionally made the fire bigger and it burnt the entire room but I survived. My father labelled me a monster from then on but when I was 5 I unknowingly lit the east wing of our house on fire when I was having a tantrum. My mother barely escaped but I walked through the flame. That's when my father had enough. He chained me in my room and gave me food through a slot. I lived like that until my father went to Azkaban but my mother treated me worse. She never gave me 3 meals, always 1 or no meals. I had books to keep me company but she was a nightmare. She said I was the reason she almost lost her life. I think it was better for them to say they never had children rather than saying their only child was a monster " 

Amelia looked over to Mattheo was listening closely. His eyes were deep in thought and his lips lay flat as he ran through what was being said to him. Amelia noticed more of him now, without blood smeared all around his face. He had a scar on the bridge of his nose and a small slit on his upper lip. His eyebrows were the arch and below them were those beautiful dark eyes.

Mattheo stood up and slowly hugged Amelia. She wanted to push away but instead she wrapped her hands around his torso and hid her face on his shoulder. She unknowingly gave off an aura of heat on to his body making him engulf her in a tighter hug. He slowly rubbed her hair and pushed her back while still holding on to her shoulders.

" Enough about them... show me these powers I'm hearing so much about " he said smirking.

Amelia smiled before opening her hands and slowly curving her fingers upwards making balls of flames appear on both palms. Mattheo stared in fixation at her hands.
