What Makes A Villain // Mattheo Riddle

The second

Lilli already knew what was going to happen, she woke up, got dressed and headed out to have breakfast with the others. Everyone said their good mornings and ate Blaises food, they chatted about the recent news and what they were going to do that day. It was nice, normal. Lilli wasn't nervous or scared, in fact she didn't feel much of anything. She enjoyed watching her friends have a normal day, happily eating and talking. She enjoyed these moments more than anything.

"I have some errands to run in the next town over, k" She hugged each of them "I love you guys, see you soon" She smiled and collected her things to leave the camp. The dirt track was icy and the grass had frost on the tips. Christmas was tomorrow, she'd almost forgotten.

She followed the dirt track, breathing in the crisp winter air and enjoying the low sun. She walked for a while, she didn't know how long but the sun was much higher now so it must've been near 12pm.

She reached a small forest clearing.
It was on the edge of a large river and had an incredible view of the rolling hills around her. The forest was dark and miserable, unlike the scene behind her. She sat on the river bank and waited. She waited for what felt like a few minutes, completely dissociated from everything around her.

Unbeknownst to her an hour had passed as she sat there, staring at the vast scenery and thinking, just thinking
about everything, her friends, family, school and all the choices leading to this moment.

"Punctual" She spoke out loud now "Early" a deep voice spoke back. "Why've you called me here"
"To talk" He chuckled maliciously "shouldn't you look at someone when they speak?" The man tutted, Lilli stood up and turned to face him.

"What would you like to speak about?" She smiled politely at him "I want your help, you've seduced, killed and traumatised the informants i've sent to get you. So I have come myself" she smirked "I'm honoured"
"We want the same thing, just help me kill the boy" Voldemort said cooly "No."
"No?" He almost let a tone of shock reach his voice but quickly corrected himself and kept the same cool, dark voice. Like father, like son she laughed to herself.

"We don't want the same thing, we want similar things. I don't want, full pure blood domination, so I will keep to myself and you can do the same" She brushed him off "If you don't join me, I'll have to kill you" he huffed "I thought so" she smiled.
"With me dead, nobody can use me anymore, well that's if you can kill me, you know I'm more powerful than you" she smirked "you really think I came alone?" He chuckled evily as multiple people appeared behind him.

"You really think she did?" Theo stepped out behind her "Father" Mattheo smirked and nodded his head toward the man "You've disobeyed my direct orders then" He ignored his son and focused on her "I haven't disobeyed anything, I didn't know they were coming" She shrugged.

She turned to them "I didn't want you here for this" she whispered "please, leave" they all protested loudly "It's okay, it'll be alright" Lilli tried to convince them. Pansy choked up "no.. no.. not you to" she spoke quietly. Lilli placed a hand on her shoulder and touched their foreheads, "you'll be okay. I promise"

"Liam" Voldemort said lowly "I want you to do it" Liams face dropped "what?" "Do you want to die to?" Liam shook his head and stepped forward "It's okay, do what you have to do" Lilli whispered "I'm not strong enough" Liam begged "I'm not going to fight back, everything happens for a reason" they both lifted their wands.

Liams hands were shaking as he held his wand. He closed his eyes and shot the killing curse in her direction, Lilli was thrown a few feet back. She lay on the floor, lifeless.

The clearing erupted into cheers from the death eaters but the group had fallen quiet. They weren't even crying, they were completely speechless.

"How....?" Draco choked "She wanted it this way" Pansy swallowed back tears. Mattheo dropped to his knees and lifted her body into his arms. "No...no" he whispered "come on" he gently slapped the sides of her face "WAKE UP" he screamed. They had never heard a scream filled with so much pain, he shouted for her to wake up over and over, but she didn't, of course she didn't. She was dead.
He sobbed into her chest, Blaise and Enzo sat down to try and comfort him, hugging him on either side,although they were just as broken. Draco held his sobbing girlfriend.

And Theo, Theo hadn't said a word. He just stared at her lifeless body in front of him, he wanted to push Mattheo away and hold her as tight as he could, but he was frozen, he couldn't move or speak.

"I'm so sorry" Liam held back his tears "you had to" Blaise tried comforted him
"The sun always rises" He whispered to Mattheo before re-joining the other side.

"Come on bud, we have to get out of here" Blaise tried to move Mattheo but he wouldn't budge. The boys had to drag him off her body kicking and screaming. "NO, NO, NOT MY GIRL, WE CAN'T LEAVE HER. WE CAN'T" He screamed through tears as he was dragged away

"Look at him, so emotional and weak, that is not my son" Voldemort sneered "well it was nice seeing you all, I'll be seeing you again soon" He nodded before disappearing into a cloud of black smoke along with his followers.

"Theo" Pansy rubbed his shoulder but Draco shook his head "Give him a minute". Once they had left the clearing Theo kneeled down next to her.

"Why? why didn't you tell me? Why have you left me alone?" He swallowed hard "this wasn't the plan" he rubbed her cheek "this wasn't our plan" He choked. "You were always so secretive but this, this is a little extreme" he chuckled through tears.
"I want to kill him, rip his heart right out of his chest. But that's not what you'd want" his jaw tightened "you were never big on revenge" He held her forehead to his "I don't think I can do this without you" his voice cracked
"I don't think I can do anything without you" He sat with her until the sun started to set, he couldn't move, he couldn't leave her.

"Huh?" He mumbled and rubbed his eyes groggily, slowly waking up, he felt warm breath beating down on his neck. He must've fallen asleep by accident.
A large wolf was stood over him "Lilli?" he gasped, but the wolf a dark shade of grey, nothing like her. Once he spoke the animal took off running toward the trees, he knew it must've been a sign. She was warning him, so he listened. He kissed her forhead one last time and ran into the forest.

Once he was in the cover of the trees, he watched as a large group of ministry men apperated into the clearing and began the process of taking her body. The wolf had moved him just in time, he would've been blamed for her death if they found him next to her.

When he arrived back at camp it was dark, dull and quiet. Not to mention it was raining, "typical" Theo thought to himself, what was this, a movie? He rubbed his forhead and opened the tent flaps.

Whiskers was curled up in the hammock next to star, he laughed a little when he saw her "what are we gonna do huh? Get a big white alsation, like how we got you for Astoria?" He chuckled, rubbing the kittens head with his thumb.

Nobody got up for breakfast the next morning. Nobody even left their tents that day, or the next, or the next. After three days Blaise took it upon himself to be the first to leave, he got up early and started breakfast. The smell of bacon lured Enzo and Draco out soon after. Draco dragged Pansy with him.

Theo and Mattheo were still locked away in their tents. "Knock, knock" Pansy spoke gently "you want some breakfast?" she called into Theos tent "not hungry" a rough voice called back,  the voice sounded like it came from a sore throat. His throat was sore, it was sore from crying constantly for the last three days. Pansys face was swollen and red from the tears, they all looked a mess. "Come on Theo, you have to eat" he slowly opened the tent, he looked horrible, red, puffy and unshaven. Pansy wrapped her arms around his torso and hugged him as tight as she could. He rubbed her hair "We'll be okay" Pansy sobbed "It's what she'd want' Theo agreed.

"Mattheo?" She called gently into his tent but she got no reply "Do you want some food? You have to eat" she pressed "No thank you" A quiet voice replied. Pansy was shocked that he responded "You know, I didn't think you'd stay with us if she was gone" Pansy rubbed her arm uncomfortably "That's not what she'd want, we're a family. We stick together" his voice was raspy and sad. Pansy nodded "We'll be here for you when you're ready" with that she left him alone.

What? You thought because she was the main focus that made her the main character, dare I say the "protagonist". Well of course not, the story won't end just because she has. What about the others? They're still here, it's their story as well. Anyways, she may have been the protagonist in my story and your story, but she's the antagonist in many other people's.
Now that's over and done with. Enjoy!
