Unexpected love - Mattheo Riddle

20

I wake up and look at Mattheo who's still sleeping peacefully, everyone got drunk last night except for me.
Mixing pills and alcohol doesn't really go well, I've learned that in the past.

I slowly get out of bed and walk towards the kitchen, I see Blaise and Enzo passed out on the couch and I smile.
I've missed my friends a lot.

I make myself some iced coffee and I walk towards the balcony as I notice a letter on the dinner table.
I immediately recognize the writing and the paper, Hogwarts.
I open it as fast as I can and smile as I read it

—————————————————

Dear Evelyn Moreau, Mattheo Riddle and Draco Malfoy.

We are glad to inform you that classes will start again next week.
All students will have to attend a meeting in the great hall on monday.

Merry Christmas,
- Albus Dumbledore and the Hogwarts staff members.

Oh my fucking god.
I immediately put my coffee down and go back to my bedroom.
"Mattheo!" I whisper loudly trying to wake him up.
"Mattheo wake up!" I whisper again as I shake him.
"What?" He asks confused
"We're going back to Hogwarts." I say with a smile, he smiles back at me.
"I got a letter." I tell him excitedly
"We have to tell the others." Mattheo says as he sits up.

I hear a knock on the door and turn around to see all of our friends.
"No need." Theodore says and we all smile, we're finally going back.

"We need champagne." Pansy says as she walks out the door.
"I'll be back!" She shouts and the front door closes.

After a few minutes of talking about going back and what it will be like everyone heads to the kitchen and eats breakfast.

As everyone is eating I sit down on the balcony and smoke a cigarette, I need some time to think and I can't do that with so many people around me.
Even though I love them all, they can be really exhausting.

I sit down on the cold ground and I light my cigarette as I look at the waves.

I think about Hogwarts, the number of people that have died there, what will happen if I get back, what will people think of me.

"Can I join you?" I hear my best friends voice.
"Sure." I answer as I wipe away my tears that were staring to form.
"What's wrong?" She asks as she sits down next to me.
"I don't know if I can handle going back to Hogwarts, a lot of people died." I answer her question honestly.
"I thought you were excited." She says
"I am, but I'm also scared."
"I think everyone is, but we are going home Ev." She tells me
"Think about the good things, we will be sharing a dorm again, you will see your friends every day, making fun of teachers, party's, and I know you haven't really been to a Quidditch match because of those bloody fights all the time, it will be fucking amazing seeing Draco, Theodore and Mattheo play." She says
"Mattheo plays quidditch?!" I ask her
"He's really good at it." She answers
"He never told me that." I reply
"What's going on between you two anyways?" She asks
"I don't know, I basically told him I might love him." I say, Pansy squeals
"He didn't say it back though."
"What? Why not?" She asks
"I'm not sure, but I like him a lot and I think he likes me." I tell her
"Oh he's obsessed with you, I can tell by the look on his face." She says excitedly
"Really? I mean I don't think he is." I respond as I lit another cigarette.
"He definitely is." She says as she gets up and the door opens
"Speaking of the devil." She says with a smile as she walks away and Mattheo sits down next to me.
"Hi." I say as he lits a cig.
"Hello darling." He replies.
"Are you excited?" I ask
"Not really." He tells me "I like it here."
"Yea me too," I answer "we should come here on holidays."
"Yes we should." He says
"What's wrong?" I ask him
"You killed my father love," He tells me "and you did not once ask me about it."
I stay silent, he's right I didn't ask him.
"But-
"No buts Evelyn, he's my father and he is dead." He cuts me off
"I'm sorry I'm not asking you about the man who killed my sister."
"Well I'm sorry for even thinking you would understand what I am going through." He says as he gets up, he leaves the balcony and slams the door shut.
"Mattheo wait!" I shout but he's already gone.

I totally messed up.
