CHAPTER 7

Mattheo later disappeared for a few days. His absence worried Taylor, but Riddle's older brother said it was nothing serious. He assured her not to worry.

"Taylor? " Tom called as she was about to go.

"Hm? " She turned to look at him.

Riddle looked at her thoughtfully for a moment. His facial expressions didn't show much, and his eyesight seemed to be illuminating her soul.

"Tom? " The girl spoke after a moment.

"Nothing..." He replied and then added. "It's just... Be sure to choose right." He added and smiled faintly.

"To choose? " She repeated a bit surprised. "Choose what? "

"The side. " He said indifferently. "And the right person." He added and then passed her and disappeared around the bend, leaving her surprised to herself.

Monroe was walking down the hall thoughtfully when she suddenly bumped into Hermione. The girls hadn't spoken to each other since the last quarrel, so there was silent between them now.

"I exaggerated then." Granger said and looked at her friend. "I'm sorry. " She added looking at her eyes.

The witch nodded, smiled slightly, then came over and hugged her, which she reciprocated.

"Never mind, let's forget about it. " Taylor said.

"I don't like to argue. " Hermione admitted. "Lately, I've been feeling so pressured that... I said too much, I didn't want to. I'm really sorry. It's okay you're with Mattheo, I shouldn't... "

"Stop it. " Monroe cut her off with a smile. "End of discussion. " She nodded. "As you can see, our worlds are a bit different, but in the end I don't want to end up alone, without a friend by my side. "

Hermione smiled.

"I'm right here." She put a hand on her shoulder. "Besides, I haven't thanked you yet for standing up to Draco for me lately. Even though you two are friends."

"It had nothing to do with it. I'm friends with him, but he'll get scolded every time he says something bad at you again. " The teenager assured her.

"You're a protector. " Granger smiled. "You protect me once, once you protect someone in class, and the rest too. And who protects you? " She asked a bit worried.

"I'm protecting her. " Mattheo approached them with a smile on his face.

"Theo? " Monroe was surprised. "You're back! " She rejoiced and hugged her friend. "Where have you been? What happened that you were gone these few days? "

"I had something to do. " He said. "But it's over now. " He assured her.

After a while, their conversation was interrupted by Harry, who immediately attacked the younger Riddle.

"You disappear for a few days and already murder innocent people! " He shouted at him during the struggle, only after a long moment the girls managed to stop them. "It took just a few days, huh? Doesn't that mean anything to you?! Have you ever thought of more than yourself? Murderer! "

"Stop it, Potter!" Taylor interjected. "What are you talking about?"

"So he didn't tell you what he did?"

"Damn Potter comes up with more fairy tales. " Riddle said. "Have you got nothing else to do? If so, I would advise you to hurry. You never know when our day is the last one."

"You're just like your father. " The other said. "Like the devil himself. "

"No. " Monroe interjected.
