What Makes A Villain // Mattheo Riddle

A Love Spell

"We should have sleepovers more often" Pansy yawned
"Every night" Astoria grinned "I don't think I could do that every night" Lilli groaned from under her blankets. "Where are they?" Lilli popped her head out from under the sheets. "They had to get back to the dorms before the teachers got here" Pansy replied.

The girls sat around their room all day waiting for the teachers to finish questioning the whole of the Slytherin house. They questioned the three girls but none of them really knew anything, not to mention they were all way to drunk to remember the late evening. Once the teachers had finished with the entire slytherin common room they moved onto the Hufflepuffs.

"Hey Riddle, just come to check up on you lot" Lilli entered the boys dorm. It was a lot messier then what she was used to. Clothes all over the floor, random pieces of paper everywhere and a rather foul smell coming from the bathroom. "Rose, where's Rose?" He practically looked through Lilli and out the door. His hair was messy and he looked very disheveled, far from his usual strict and emotionless state.

"Not with me that's for sure" Lilli laughed at his absurd question.
"I'd love to just get rid of her, wouldn't you?" she joked, picking up a newspaper from the pile of paper floor and laying herself down on Theos bed.
"How dare you!" Mattheo shouted at her. The sudden outburst made her jump, yes Mattheo was a little aggressive but he usually did it in a threateningly low tone. Hearing him shout was simply terrifying.
Lilli looked over her newspaper at him. He was pacing back and forth across the room. "Wow, what's gotten into you?" She chuckled nervously, trying to hide her concern. "You want to get rid my love? There is no reason. Shes perfect" He continued pacing.
"Mattheo you're being incredibly irritational" Lilli scoffed "I love her" Mattheo shouted back. "No you don't. Mattheo you hate her" Lilli felt like she was losing her mind. What the fuck was happening?
"I'm leaving until you sort yourself out" Lilli huffed before storming out of the dorm room. As she slammed the door she caught a glimpse of a box laying under Mattheos bed, something she hadn't noticed on her way in.

"Mattheos gone mad" She snapped as she entered the common room. "What?" Blaise looked up from the book he and Enzo had been reading on the common room couch.
Enzo lay his head contently on Blaise's chest and Blaise had his arm wrapped around Enzos shoulders.
"Just you two in here?" Lilli looked around the room "Uh yes" Enzo quickly sat up straighter. Lilli sent them both a suspicious look before continuing on with her complaints "As I was saying, Mattheo, he's banging on about loving Rose. ROSE" Lilli sat down in a huff "But he hates her" Enzo laughed.
"Precisely" Lilli rolled her eyes "You jealous?" Blaise raised his eyebrows "No." Lilli glared at the boy"just concerned" "Sure you are" Blaise smirked "And what about you two?" Lilli looked from one boy to the other "What about us? There's nothing going on, why would you even say that?" Enzo stuttered "Wow, Enzo calm down, I was just asking what you guys were up to?" She laughed ruffling his hair as she walked past "Bit flustered are we" she winked before leaving the room.

"Hey Neville" Lilli smiled politely as she passed him going down the hall "Hello Lilli" he nodded back "Bit late isn't it, where you headed?" 
"Green House" Neville grinned. She wasn't surprised. Neville spent most of his time in the greenhouse. It was clearly his happy place, just like the astronomy tower was Lilli's.

"Mind if I join you?" Lilli flashed him a smile "Of course, what for?" they began walking toward the side doors. "I need to find a particular plant extract"
"I can help you with that" Neville's smile grew even bigger "I thought so" Lilli smirked.

When they reached the greenhouse Lilli went straight towards a locked box near the back of the room. "That's locked" Neville pointed out the obvious
"Alohamora" she flicked her wand and the box popped open."Here it is" Lilli pulled a vile of dark green liquid from the box "Extract of Gurdyroot?" Neville looked up in confusion "Love potion antidote" She held up the vile "Oh really, for who?" Neville plucked some leaves from a plant next to him. "Mattheo, I believe" Lilli walked toward the door 
"Thank you Neville" she smiled, he just nodded in return, completely indulged in his work.
She always felt quite bad for the boy. Yes, yes Harry's lost both his parents and that was very sad. But in her eyes watching both of your parents be tortured to insanity was actually considerably worse. I mean it was like they died but their body's were still right there infront of you. The version of them you knew and loved is gone and you have the torment of knowing that it will never come back no matter how hard you try. At least Harry had the peace of knowing his parents were no longer in pain, never mind the fact he never knew them to miss them. Obviously everyone has their own opinions, but Lilli always felt much more sympathetic for the Longbottom boy.
