Circe Riddle (Book 3)

Chapter 11

TW: Smoking, daggers, mentions of drinking, harm

(Still Thomas's pov)

It actually happened. I didn't think they would actually do it, but they did, they made her forget us. She couldn't- didn't want to kill us, so they did this to her. "You got into a fight and hit your head so I brought you back to your dorm, are you feeling ok? I thought you might have gotten a concussion" I made it up on the spot

She smiled slightly "Umm... Thanks, I think I am fine"

I was about to leave but I turned back around "I don't recall seeing you around much, what's your name?"

"It's Circe Riddle, I'm a 3ed year but I take 4th year classes"

"Oh, do you have any siblings who I might know?"

"I know I have two older brothers but I have never met them. What about you?"

"I have and younger brother and sister"

"Hm, what's your name?"

"Thomas" I replied

"What's your last-"

I left before she could finish the question and apparated to Mattheo's dorm where he was talking with Theodore. They both looked up at me "How's Circe?" Mattheo asked

I shook my head "She doesn't know who I am or who you are" I nodded my head at Mattheo "So she probably doesn't know Theodore either"

Mattheo's eyes started turning crimson "Is there any way she can get her memories back?"

"I know there is but it might take a bit to master the spell, if it is done wrong it can get worse" I replied "I have to go inform father but I will be back, make sure she doesn't do anything dangerous while I am gone"

(Theodore's pov)

Mattheo left shortly after Thomas while I went to the astronomy tower. The afternoon sky was giving way to the chilly evening air and the sun was going to set soon. I leaned against the wall and started smoking while staring at the sky.

"Well well well, what has happened to Theodore Nott? Enjoying the view are you?" I heard a familiar voice, it was Circe's.

"You know who I am?" I replied and immediately wished I didn't

"Of course I do, you skip classes, smoke, and drink" She came into view and I saw her roll her eyes

"I-"

"Shut it, I came up here for a bit of quiet" She walked to the railing and pulled something out of her pocket which I quickly figured out was a cigarette.

"You smoke?" I asked

She turned around to face me "Obviously" She replied "Now please be quiet or leave"

"No, we have things to talk about"

"Like what?"

"I know that you have brothers, and I know both of them"

"What are their names then?"

"I can't tell you" She walked towards me then pinned me to the wall, putting the dagger to my throat

"Their names" She asked louder

When I didn't answer her she pushed the blade in more "Fine, stop and I will tell you" She stopped but continued to point the dagger at me "There names are Thomas and Mattheo"

She smirked "That was all I needed" Just then Mattheo came up the stairs and appeared at the doorway.

He saw me on the floor and Circe with her wand by her side. "What happened?" He asked

"You must be Mattheo" She greeted him with a smirk "Well I will see you around"

(Circe's pov)

I walked past him and was about to leave when Mattheo grabbed my wrist "You're not going anywhere" He tightened his grip and I felt my skin start to burn. I pulled him to the wall and held my dagger to his throat. "Let me go"

"No" I brought my knee up and kicked him. He groaned in pain and I pulled my hand away and left.

Once it was dinner time I started heading down to the Great Hall but was stopped on the way. Someone grabbed me and pulled me to the wall and then I was suddenly in the Forbidden Forest.
