Forced Love

🐍3-The arrangement

>Madeline's pov<

Voldemort enters the room with a devious look across his face. He looks at me and Mattheo with a smile causing the two of us to look at each other in confusion. He begins by saying:

"I am aware that some of you may be extremely disappointed with the news I am about to give you but I assure you it is for the best and has been deliberated carefully." I look over to my father to see he has a wide grin on his face all most the same as Voldemort's except less creepy.

"The bad news is that Lorenzo and Madeline have to brake up. Now I know you may not want to do this but you must. If you both do not agree to this then there will be punishment."

"Sorry to interrupt my lord but this won't be a problem. We broke up right before we arrived ." I say giving Lorenzo a dirty look. Blaise turns to me and gives me a sympathetic look as if to tell me he was sorry. Blaise and I have always had a close bond especially since we are twins. He has always stood up for me and whenever a relationship doesn't go as planned he is always here to help. It's rare you find them sort of people. The ones that would do any thing for you but Blaise is one of them.

As I scan down the table to see everyone else's reactions I notice how furious Mattheo and Lorenzo look. To be honest though the only reason Lorenzo is pissed off is because I exposed him to his father and now he's scared he will get punished or some shit like that. I actually hope he does get punished. All he ever wanted from me was my body so he can fuck off. I don't really understand why Mattheo is pissed off though maybe he didn't think his brother would do something like that or he might know something about the other half of the news that Voldemort wants to share.

"I will have words with Lorenzo after. On to the good news Madeline and Mattheo will be getting married and there is going to be a celebration next week where you will be given your rings." My head shoos towards Mattheo's and his does the same. This cant be fucking true. No. Him out of everyone. Tears are threatening to spill from my eyes but as I look into Mattheo's eyes I know that there is nothing I can say or do that will change anything. I just know for a fact that these rings will not be good. Everyone know that when there is an arranged marriage the rings are forever binding. This means that the person wearing it will never be able to take it off and the other person wearing it will feel a shock. That's the worst thing about them because if you end up forced to marry a bad person them if you take the ring off they may hurt you or worse. After allowing the announcement of the marriage to settle in for a few minutes, Voldemort dismisses us all once again and we head back to Hogwarts.

Me and Mattheo head to our room in silence only to see that our dorm has been changed. Instead of seeing 2 double beds there is only 1 double bed. We both approach the bed to find a note left from Voldemort saying:

"I hope you both get along splendid and have fun sharing a bed with one another. Also I am truly sorry to hear how my son Lorenzo has cheated on you he will be punished accordingly." I grab the letter and throw it into the bin before it turns to dust.

"Fuck sake" I hear Mattheo say from behind me.

"What " I say moodily as I turn around.

"I'm not sharing a bed with you. You will have to take the couch "

"What the fuck? No if you have a problem you can sleep on the couch "

"Have you forgotten who you are talking to. It sure seems like it" he says in a cocky tone

"I really don't give a shit but since your such a pussy I'll take the couch" God he really knows how to annoy me. I make my way to the bathroom and get ready for bed. Once ready I set out my sleeping arrangement on the couch whilst Mattheo is getting ready in the bathroom. We both then begin to drift of to sleep.

I wake up in the middle of the night and make my way over to the window. I've always had trouble staying asleep. Normally when I wake up I read a book or do some art. In attempt to make myself tired I find a random book off the bookshelf and sit down on the windowsill. After a while my eyes begin to droop so I make my way back over to the couch. This whole time I never realised that Mattheo was awake and was listening to me read. He had fallen to sleep moments before I had finished reading. As I lay down on the couch I begin to shiver as there is no cover over me. I looked around the room to see if there was another cover but there wasn't so I gave up and drifted back off to sleep.
