Destructive love

Harry returns

I wake up to Sylvia's worried expression.
"Sylvia? What's wrong?" I notice that I was in her room led on a bed.
I look around , no sign of riddle.
"What happened where's Mattheo?!" I sit up fast before she stops me from getting out the bed.
"Sylvia where is he-" I question before she swallows.
"He's not- tell me he isn't" I choke before her eyes sink.
"No he isn't dead" she stated and I sigh in relief.
"Then what's wrong what happened?!" I question further.

"It's Thursday Y/n you've been asleep for 2 days straight" I shake my head , that isn't possible.
"Harry returned yesterday , he turned up early, he heard what happened"
I didn't understand.
"What happened? I don't understand!" I push out of her grip getting up.
"He heard about what happened to you! I told him that you'd clearly done a spell that over used your powers! He was worried so he came back early!" She raised her voice slightly to get my attention.
"If Riddle isn't Dead then where is he?!" I question her further.
I didn't care for why Harry came early , I needed to know where Riddle was.
"They came in and took him-" her voice was unsteady as she looked at me.
"Your siblings?! They will kill him!" I push past her before she grabs me again.

"No! Harry did! My brother and sister have no memory of what happened to them!"
I stare at her clearly confused.
"Why would they take him?!" I raise my voice slightly.
"They wanted information" she whispered quietly.
"No one knows that Harry is here yet, except the students and it has to stay that way-" I cut her off with my raging voice.
"Where are they?! Where did they take him?!" Sylvia didn't even look at me.
"Tell me!!" I shout before she finally looked at me.
"They took him to the room of requirement , Mattheo woke up before you, he didn't want to leave you but Harry didn't really give him a choice-" she shouted as I practically run away from her.

I run into the room , calling out for Mattheo.
"Theo?!" I shout out of breath.
No response.
I frantically walk into the middle of the room, I spot him tied up to a chair.
He has a bruised eye.
I run to him going to untie him before Harry grabs me stopping me from freeing Riddle.
"What is wrong with you! What are you doing?!" I watch as Theo shakes his head telling me to not bother.
"We need to know Voldemort's plan!" Harry insisted as Ron and Hermione stand by him.
"He'll tell you!" I speak out again.

"I told them everything I know" Mattheo finally speaks, his voice was soft when he spoke to me.
"Yeah well it's hard to believe, considering your special talent" Ron points to Theo's head clearly talking about how they can't read his thoughts.
"He told us that Voldemort doesn't have a plan , that he will find out where I am and kill me that's hard to believe considering Voldemort is a calculated killer!" Harry glares at Riddle before letting me go.
"What? So because you don't believe him your keeping him in here until it's too late and Voldemort finds you? Comes here! To kill you!"
Unbelievable, Harry Potter was being a twat.

"We only hit him once calm down, if he came with us like we said we wouldn't of had to hurt him" Ron
Coughed awkwardly
I shake my head in disbelief "you're just as bad as them! Have you even fed him?!" I notice the dark circles under his eyes.
He looked so pale, so weak.
"I pretty sure you've hit me more
then once-" Mattheo chuckles as Ron tells him to shut up.
He needed to rest after that spell not be tied to a chair like-
Like One of them.
"He'd been here for one night Jesus y/n calm down!" Hermione's eyes dash to mine as she speaks.
"DON'T! Don't patronise me!"
I was in a state of shock, how could they not even feed him and beat him up-

"You are so transparent! You only want us to let him go because you are still in love with him! Yet again your putting the life's of innocent people at risk because of your petty one sided feelings for this boy!" Harry shouted at me this time, making me take a step back.
"Y/n-" he instantly regretted saying what he did, maybe because my face twisted from pain.
Hurt.
I slap Harry across the face earning a tired low laugh from Mattheo.
"Don't think for a second that I'm some weak pathetic little girl with a crush! Voldemort killed my parents just like he did yours! Your not the only one who wants to see him dead! He killed my grandfather! The only family I had left so stop acting like I'm just going to roll over because of who Mattheo! What he use to be to me! It really isn't any of your business"

I was so tired of Harry and everyone else thinking that I would let Voldemort win just because of how I feel towards Mattheo or felt.
"You beat him up to get information? Just like how Bellatrix tortured us! She wanted information so she hurt us! Your acting like them!" I shout as Ron scoffs.
"You think if he came back to Malfoy manor and it was only Minoe getting tortured , do you think he'd help her? I doubt it" Ron shouts back with more rage.
"I don't know, I'm not Mattheo! All I know is that you beating him up and starving him won't get the information you want because he doesn't know!"

"Ok so you don't love him? He isn't clouding you're judgment?" Hermione's voice rang in my ears as I close my eyes in annoyance. Back to this.
"Fuck all of you, you act all nice and buddy buddy until you've used someone's resources then you just drop them! Just like how you left me with him at the beach house! I helped you! I came back for you Ron! When the snatchers were after us I nearly took a fucking torture curse for you!"
The snatchers were using painful curses and jinxes to stop us in our tracks that's why I went back for Ron.

"We're sorry we left you! It wasn't safe!" Ron spoke again.
"That's what everyone keeps telling me! That it wasn't safe! That they were trying to protect me! Don't you see that's how people get killed! You left me! Alone , vulnerable! A lone wolf never survives! You weren't protecting me! You were protecting yourselves, you knew that if I came along that you'd have to bring Riddle and they would surely track us down and kill us all so instead you left me with him"
I pause as I look at the 4 quiet teens who were standing awkwardly.

"Mattheo you left me, you said it was to protect me, maybe part of what you did was? Maybe you thought that was what was best but I know that part of it was protecting yourself too"
No tears were forming in my eyes, I had used them all up.
I was angry, so angry.
"You didn't want to face how you felt about me or how I felt about you so you left me at Hogwarts, I was hurt physically and mentally and you just left me there , I won't ever forgive you for that ever" my voice cracks slightly as I speak.

Mattheo looked at me, not through me or at my shoes he looked at me.
"But even so I won't let you hurt him, I won't do it, I know right from wrong and I can't leave knowing you are starving him just to get information! That isn't who I am and it wasn't who you were either" I walk past them all untying Riddle , he groans as the rope loosens from his wrists.
"Go all of you" I look at the trio who soon exited the room through a secret passageway.
"You too" I don't look at him.
"Not without you" he speaks .
"You've done it before!" I shout , clearly not having got out all my anger.

I thought I had forgiven him, I thought I could.
But i wasn't sure now.
"So why stay now?! Go leave!" I shout but he doesn't budge.
My chin wobbles from the boiling rage that was going to explode any minute.
"Leave me! Go!" I shout again but this time I walk towards him.
"Leave!" I hit his chest with my hands as he grabs them holding me still as I throw my arms about with frustration.
"Let go of me! Don't hold me" I scream as he cradled me in his arms holding me, protecting me from myself.
"Please stop" I cry out as I start to shake.

I could feel the tears coming, I was so tired of crying but I couldn't stop it.
"Let it out" he holds me tight as we both sank to the floor.
"Why does everyone leave-" I whispered as I stop trying to hit him.
"I won't leave you- not again" my body melts into his touch not fighting it anymore.
"I hate myself-" the hatred in my heart burns through my veins, but not for him or Harry only myself.
I hate myself, I never knew who I was or who I was meant to be.
If younger me could see who I turned into she'd be ashamed.
"Let's get you back" he picks me up before we take the hidden passage.
