Another World {M.R}

38

He didn't worry about the people that would seem him crying. For once, it was in the back of his mind. Right now he was thinking about the girl in his arms and the weight on his shoulders.

Voldemort lays dead a few feet away taunting him. He may be gone and forever away from Mattheo but he got to kill the one last thing Mattheo truly loved. Loved.

He realized it now.

"I love you." He says without a second thought patting her cheek softly. Wake up, he thinks.

Wake up

Wake up

I love you

Are you happy now, is this what you wanted?

The thoughts rage in his mind and before he can do or say much more Embers body is gone.

Completely gone and the only thing left in his reach is the soil under his knees. Her body just disappeared, away from where it truly belongs.

That's when he notices the figures beside him, where he feels their touch and where he sees their blurry faces through the tears. "Mattheo." one voice says.

It's a sound that seems far away, should he reach for it? Try to talk to someone when he feels like a part of him has been ripped away?

"She's-." His voice cracks and he turns his head to see Theodore.

"I know, come on and stand up, you can't fight for her down there mate." Theodore instructs helping Mattheo pull himself up and half heartedly walk forward.

Mattheo eyes Dumbledore who is holding a wand and everything clicks. She was here because of him, he brought her here and watched as his plan set into place. He used her as a shield to fix his problems and now so many innocent lives are gone.

He storms forward fast, but not fast enough so that Draco doesn't notice. Draco leaps forward grabbing Mattheo by the shoulders and pushing him back before he can reach Dumbledore.

"Get back Mattheo!" But Mattheo pushes forward angrily almost pushing Draco backwards. Blaise helps Draco but grabbing him around the waist and yanking him back.

"Where were you?" Mattheo shouts still fighting against his friends. "So many lives are gone and yet you witnessed none of it."

Draco slightly pauses at his words. It was always 'listen to the professor, he knows what's right' and he never went against that. It's what they always knew. That Dumbledore knew best.

"Where were you when every single student needed you professor?" He says the words in a mock tone. "Where did you put Ember when she was dying, because how the hell is anyone supposed to help her if she's dead." He says and tears spring to his eyes.

Dumbledore stands tall like the words don't affect him but it just makes Mattheo even more angry.

"Where did you put her Dumbledore." He doesn't answer "what about her family? Where are they? What about the poison in her damn shoulder?"

"Everything worked out in the end for Hogwarts, did it not?" Dumbledore says taking a step back as Draco let's go of Mattheo. That was his last straw, It seems Mattheo is the only one who noticed it first.

"You selfish old man." Draco shakes his head stepping back and grabbing Mattheo's forearm yanking him along into the manor.

The group decided to walk to the furthest apparition point possible. Their stuff is at Hogwarts so they definitely need to go there before they go to the Manor and begin a new plan.
