a endless cycle - yn x mattheo riddle x tom riddle

chapter 2 - birthday twin

third person pov:

Octavia remained leaning against the ledge now looking down. The sun had set quite early today. The sky was a mixture of pink and orange creating a work of art in front of the three. No one spoke. The quiet was peaceful to them all. They didn't have to set a fake gesture for whom they all considered outsiders in their own cluttered minds. It surprised Octavia that both riddles hadn't accompanied everyone else in the great hall for a lovely dinner. Octavia found herself skipping meals recently. It wasn't anything new or out of the ordinary but it seemed to bother the group. Some more than others. Mattheo lit a blunt before inhaling and exhaling the foggy smoke. He glanced over at Octavia looking at his hand that held the addictive drug. He slid the cancer stick towards the girl sitting on his right. She shook her head, "I don't smoke." She explained sternly. "Suit yourself." Mattheo said taking the blunt and passing it to the Riddle on Octavia's left. Tom connected the blunt to his lips looking majestic with his quick movements. Octavia sighed before letting in and taking the drug from Tom's hand. She slowly inhaled before exhaling into the open air. Mattheo smirked seeing the sight infront of him. Tom paid no mind to Mattheo but more to the secretive girl beside him. He studied her every move trying to figure out why she wasn't scared of them. Everyone feared them. Even deatheaters. So why didn't she?

Mattheo's pov:

All three of us passed the blunt around for what seemed to be no less than and hour. Dinner was over meaning everyone had already gone back to their common rooms and dorms. "I think im gonna head back." Tom said leaving me and Octavia together. "Okay night tom" I said before watching him walk towards the stairs. "Hey tom?" Ta-Octavia said causing Tom to stop in his tracks turning to face the pale girl. "Yes darling?" Octavia scoffed and rolled her eyes at the nickname. "Can you leave the door unlocked this time?" I chuckled causing Tom to do the same. "We'll see." With that Tom had disappeared into the lurking halls. "You know your brother is an arse sometimes." Octavia giggled. God that giggle would make anyone give in. "Trust me I know." I retorted causing Octavia to sigh. "What's on your mind? If you don't mind me asking." I scooted closer to her hopping on the ledge next to her. "A lot. Im sure you dont wanna hear about my crappy life though." Octavia chuckled. "No really I do. I wanna know whats such a pretty girl is doing living an ugly life." I reassured her.

She let out a breathe before explaining what she wished to share. The curly headed boy listened to everything. He acknowledged her features when she talked. How she would use her hands to communicate how she felt adding more emotion to the situation. Once she was done she sighed picking at the ends of her sleeves. "Im sorry I know that was a lot." She apologised. Sorry wasn't something that was part of her vocabulary very often. She glanced up at Mattheo with doey eyes. Before saying anything, Mattheo grabbed her hand that lied next to his on the cold stone. He turned to face her now holding her delicate hand in both of his. She felt a spark and hoped he did too. He felt something that he had never felt before. It couldn't be. The Riddle infront of her now feeling as if he needed to save her from everything and everyone that every threatened to go near her. But how? He thought he was incapable of love.

Octavia's pov:

"Pansy get up! Its nearly eleven!" I rolled over to see what the commotion was about. It was Enzo, Theo, and Draco hovering above the now awake girl. Pansy had looked a wreck. A beautiful wreck. From the expression on her face, you would have thought she saw my sleep-paralysis demon. "What the heck guys? Its saturday!" Pansy mumbled before rolling out of bed and coming over to mine. I peeled back the duvet allowing enough room for her to crawl in. That's when it hit me. My birthday! I am officially seventeen. They all jumped on us. (Kate, Draco, Enzo, and Theo). Pansy and I groaned. "HAPPY BIRTHDAYYY BESTAYY!" Enzo said practically yelling. "Get up your smushing my ribs!" Pansy said causing all of us to die of laughter. I eventually made my way to the bathroom to freshen up.
