Unexpected love - Mattheo Riddle

07

"Please don't make her do this!" My mother beggs as she stares at my father with tears streaming down her face.
"Be quiet!" My father shouts in response.
I am frightened, my legs are shaking and I my knees are getting weaker by the second, I fall down to the ground but my dad grabs my arm tightly and pulls me back up. He hurts me, again.
I look my mom in the eyes as I grab my wand, with my shaking hand I point it at her and apologize in advance.
"Avada kedavra." I whisper, I fall back to the ground and cry, so does my sister who watched all of it because our dad tied her up, I am afraid he isn't going to change like I thought he would, he will never be the father I wanted him to be. I don't have parents anymore.

"Evelyn! Wake the hell up!" I hear Mattheo's voice, he clearly read my mind.
"I'm awake." I say "can you please leave me alone?" I say without any emotions, I don't want him to know that I'm weak.
He shakes his head no
"Please leave." I repeat
"I won't." He says "you can't be alright after what happened to you, after today." He sits down next to me on the bed.
"You shouldn't care, just get Draco or something. I don't want you here." I say, that was harsh but I can't be getting close to a Riddle, they are bad people.
"I am not my father." He says
"But you do remind me of him a hell of a lot." I reply, I just want to be alone.
"Vodka." He says as he gets back up and walks over to the dresser, he grabs the half empty bottle and pours me a glass.
"One drink." He says
"I don't want pity." I tell him
"This isn't pity, I am trying to make you forget about the things that my dad did to you." He says "you can't kill him and I happened to be interested in your past so you can't die."

That surprises me, he admitted that he is interested, not in me but in my past which is a beginning. It's a coincidence that I'm happened to be invested in his past.

"I can." I respond "and I will."
"You can't and you won't." Riddle answers
"You have a phone right?" I ask Mattheo
"Yes, I do why?" He questions
"Can you call Draco and ask him to come over in an hour, he's probably overwhelmed by all the things he can remember again." I say with a soft smile.
I bring the glass of vodka to my mouth and drink all of it at once, damn that felt good.
"Can I have that bottle?" I ask Mattheo
"You said one drink." He says
"You're not my dad." I say annoyed
"But I could be." He says smirking before he apparates out of my room, I have no idea where he went but I know that he'll be back.
That was... weird.

After a few seconds he's back, he doesn't say anything as he sits down on the couch.
"Draco doesn't want to see you." He says
"That's fine." I say as I look down, I literally hate him at moments like this.
"Do you hate me?" I ask
"No, you're one of the few people I don't hate." He says as he looks out of the window.
"Who are the other ones?" I ask
"Draco and Lorenzo." They can be annoying but they're not that bad." He says
"You know, I don't hate you either." I say "I hate your father, not you."
"I hate your father too." Mattheo responds, I chuckle and tell him that I agree with that.
"So that bottle..."
"Nah." He replies "smoke with me?"
"Sure." I answer as I sit up a little more.

"Evelyn!" I hear Draco's loud voice as he storms into my room "I need to set boundaries, I see." He says
"You can't just walk into my room like that." I say as I exhale some smoke.
"Why not? Because he's in here." He says as he looks at Mattheo with a death stare.
"What the fuck are you trying to do?" I ask
"I don't want him anywhere near you." He says acting like he's actually in charge of me.
"I was wrong." I say "forcing me to have no friends?" I chuckle "you're just like him."
"So are you." He snatches back.
"Go." Mattheo says as he stares at Draco who is slowly getting closer to me "did you not hear me! I said go!" Mattheo yells, it makes me flinch a bit and I think he saw that because he stops yelling immediately.
"You're a death eater, who didn't finish their mission, not listening to the dark lords son. Do you have a death wish?" Mattheo asks, this is the part that reminds me of his dad.
"Perhaps, you won't kill me because I am her half brother." He says as he looks at me and then looks back at Mattheo.
"You are also a reminder of her father." He says "I will kill you, even if she won't talk to me ever again after it so I am suggesting that you leave right now." He says as he walks over to Draco, intimidating him.
Draco shakes his head no as he looks at me with disappointment, he sighs as he leaves the room.
"It's just me and Enzo now." I say as I open my nightstand drawer, it's gone, my fucking opioids are gone. At the same moment Pansy and Astoria walk into the room, she took it.
"Oh did we interrupt anything?" Pansy says with a smirk as she raises her eyebrows.
"No you didn't." I say "he was just leaving." I say as I side eye Mattheo.
"Yes, that's right... I will see you at potions tomorrow." Mattheo says as he gets up from the couch he just sat down on and he opens the door, he doesn't say anything he just smiles a little bit before he leaves.
"So what did y'all do today?" I ask Astoria and Pansy, I know what they did of course.
"We drank some butter beer and we had lunch." Astoria says "we wanted to invite you but you seemed a bit busy." She adds, liar.
"Sounds like fun." I say, forcing a smile. I walk over to my drawer to grab my bottle of vodka but it's gone, bloody hell Mattheo took it with him, I hate that he's so protective and I don't get why he's like that, we aren't even friends I think.
"Hey Pans?" I question
"What's up?" She replies
"Do you happen to know where Draco's drugs went? They were in my nightstand." I tell her, I know she likes Draco so I can use that to get the truth out of her.
"Me and Astoria brought it to him, he asked us." She says after choking on some water.
"Yes, that's right." Astoria says as she lays down on Pansy's bed.
"So you two are high, great." I say
"What do you mean?" Astoria asks before she breaks out in laughter.
"Wait why would you have Draco's drugs at all, did you sleep with him too?" Pansy asks
"That's bloody disgusting, he's my half brother." I answer
"Are you like, for real?" Astoria asks.
"Yes." I respond "wait who do you think I slept with?" I ask
"Mattheo." Pansy says
"Pretty bold move, no one dares to get even close to him." Astoria adds.
"What?!" I raise my voice "I haven't slept with Mattheo!"
"Than why were you in his room and why is he here all the time?"
"Because you were in here with a boy and I didn't want to ruin anything for you." I say
Pansy gets up and hugs me tightly.
"You are such a good friend!" She says after she places a kiss on my cheek.
"So are you." I say with a smile "do you know anyone around here that has drugs?" I ask
"Not really." Pansy answers
"That's why we took yours." Astoria adds.
"Great." I say sarcastically, after saying bye I leave the room, I am not in the mood to be with two way too high friends.

I go to the library and look for Hermione, Ron and Harry because we still need to destroy the ring, I have no clue on how so I'm hoping they know.
"Evelyn!" I hear a loud whisper, I look around and I see no one, maybe it's just in my head.
"Psst, it's Ron." I hear
"Where?" I ask
"Invisibility cloak, meet us in the Gryffindor common room after dinner?" He asks
"Sure, I'll be there." I say as I walk past the restricted section, I decide to look at some books, if they were really that bad Dumbledore should lock them up.
"Miss Moreau, what do you think you're doing?!" I hear Umbridges high pitched voice.
"I'm looking for a book about Voldemort." I answer truthfully "it's kind of important." I add
"Detention in my office!" She yells
"It's weekend, I'll see you on Monday!" I shout with a smile before turning my head and walking away. I hate her.

After dinner I walk out of the great hall and bump into someone, my head kind of hurts and there are some books on the ground so I grab some as I look up, it's Lorenzo.
"Hey, you good?" He asks
"Yes, I'm sorry I was just in my thoughts I should've watched where I was walking." I say with a smile, he smiles back.
"It's alright, don't apologize." He says as I hand him his book our hands touch, he's cute.
"Where are you going?" He asks
"Gryffindor common room." I say as I start walking and he walks with me.
"Why? They hate Slytherin." He says
"I have some friends that are in Gryffindor, besides they don't hate every Slytherin. Just Draco and his friends which is understandable." I say as I chuckle.
"I'm friends with Draco." He says
"You're not like them, you're actually nice." I say as I stop walking.
"Wait where are you going?" I ask
"Library." He says
"Why did you walk with me, it's in the other direction?" I ask
"Just curiosity about where you were going I guess." He says with a smile.
"Draco is your half brother right?" He asks
"Yes why?" I respond
"But still, you hate him." Lorenzo says as he starts walking slower.
"I don't hate him, I understand why other people that don't know him would hate him." I say "I love Draco, it's just complicated."
"You're here." He says as he points at the Gryffindor common room door.
"Thank you for walking with me." I smile
"It was a pleasure, bye Evelyn." He says
"Bye Lorenzo." I say
We both smile, he's really nice unlike his friends, he's also quite hot.

I knock on the door and wait for someone to open it, Fred Weasley does.
"Lookin' for my little brother am I right?" He asks, I like the twins they're so funny.
"You're right, where can I find him?" I ask
"In the boys dormitory." He says with a smile
"Do you know which one?" He asks
"No, I don't. Could you please show me?" I question as I look around, this place looks really old compared to the Slytherin common room, less luxurious maybe.
"Sure." Fred says as he walks with me to the boys dorm.
"Thank you." I say with a smile as I knock on the door, he tells me it's no problem and leaves again before Hermione let's me in.
"Don't y'all think it's weird that our rooms are so different?" I ask as I sit down.
"Most people in Slytherin are quite rich." Ron answers.
"So did you get the ring?" Harry asks
"Of course I did." I say as I take the glass of water Hermione hands me and I sit down.
"How do I destroy it?" I ask, I didn't take it with me because I want to have the power over it, I am still not sure if I should fully trust the golden trio.
"Basilisk venom, the killing curse and fiendfyre." Hermione says
"You killed that snake am I right? Nagini?" I question, it should have the venom on the weapon he used so I could use that to destroy the ring.
"I did." He says "why?"
"There must be venom on the weapon you used." I say "where is it?" I stand up and look around the room.
"We will destroy it for you." Hermione says
"Yeah... that's not gonna happen." I answer
"Why not?" Ron asks
"I want to do it myself." I respond
"You can't." Harry says "I used the sword of Gryffindor."
"I can." I say, not wanting to tell them why.
"You're hiding things for us." Hermione says, clever girl.
"So what?" I ask
"So we won't trust you." Ron says
"You'll have to." I answer
"Why?" Harry questions
"I have the ring and I know where the last horcrux is." I get up and put my glass down.
"But if I'm not trustworthy enough, do this all by yourself, I'm sure you'll succeed." I say forcing the fakest smile ever, they can't do this without me and they know it.
"Bye!" I yell as I open the door and leave the room, I know how to destroy it now so I'm sure I'll find a way.
