Feeling Again-Mattheo Riddle;Book 2

Chapter 30: The Spy

I was in Mattheo's room. It was the day after the lesson. I was still pissed at Harry, and even though beating him up with the disarming spell was somewhat relaxing, I still had pent up anger. 

"Uh- Snow?" I hummed, to show that I was listening, but really I was halfway spacing out. "Are we going to do something other than just laying down here and listening to you tap your fingers on that CD?" 

I shook my head no slightly and kept looking up at the ceiling.  He looked to the side and almost jumpscared me when he came in front of me. "What happened." 

"Nothing." 

He sighs and shakes his head comically. "Guess we're going to have to do this the hard way." I was so shocked when he grabbed me under my arms that I squealed. He made me sit up on the bed and then scooted over next to me again, a playful smirk on his face. 

"There were easier ways to do that!" I exclaimed. 

"Yes, but none of them were as fun!" 

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms, giving him a fake upset face. 

"Seriously Snow, what's up?" 

 I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, just not feeling it." 

He cocked up an eyebrow, as if my explanation wasn't good enough. 

"Ok fine, it's more than that. I mean, yeah, I'm not really feeling it, but like- I. don't know, something just seems... OFF!" I stand up and start pacing around the room. "I feel like I'm forgetting something vital! Or that I did something that STOPPED something vital, or maybe-" Mattheo cut off my ramble mid sentence, a laugh mixed into his response. 

"Ok, ok, slow down. I'm sure you didn't do something like that." He stood up and came next to me, wrapping an arm around me. "Have you done anything different than what you'd normally do?" 

I space out, as I'm in deep thought. It suddenly comes to me. "OH! Dumbledore's Army! It's so unjust that Slytherins can't come! They need protection to, it's so fucking unfair!" 

"I mean- at least you tried to change it. Really, there's nothing else you can do Snow." 

My shoulders droop down by my sides. "Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't be pissed about it."  

He rolled his eyes and began gathering all his things. "Well, you can contemplate on things out of your control," he paused and walked up and held the door open, " or you can come to Hogsmeade with me."  

I smirked and picked up my coat. 

At Hogsmeade 

I felt my back hit a tree, but I didn't care, this was exactly where we wanted to be. I put my hands to the sides of Mattheo's face as he continued to kiss me. I have no idea how we ended up here, but hey, I'm not complaining. My hands keep exploring his face and hair as he keeps attacking me with his full lips. I hear him groan at the back of his throat which makes me smile during the kiss. 

Right as we're both getting into the moment, we here a slight cough from behind Mattheo. Me and Mattheo immediately jump away from each other and I flush red when I see Ron. His face doesn't look surprised, but disappointed. 

"Uh, Harry was looking for you. Thought you should know." He looked between both of us again and just shook his head before walking away. Mattheo flashed me a sympathetic look as I tried catching up to Ron. 

"Ron!" He kept walking, ignoring me. "Ron! Please, wait!" I eventually caught up to him and pulled him back by his shoulder. "Please- Harry knows! I don't know how, I never told him, but he knows!" 

"And does he support it?" 

I sighed helplessly. "You know him, Ron. He isn't for it, but he didn't tell me to stop either. I don't know how he found it!" 

"Oh I'll tell you how he found out! He has such low expectations for you that he expects you to go pull some bullshit like that." He takes a deep breath, trying to control his anger. I felt stunned. Did everyone really have such low standards of me?

"Ron- I don't, look, I'm sorry. But, he's really not that bad! He saved lives Ron, he saved my life! Harry's! Hell, he saved yours! But please, Ron, don't ruin our friendship over this. Please." Ron was sensitive, and things like this could break him. Even if I don't show it, I do love him.  

"I reckon you're going to lose all your friends at this point." He started walking away. "Just listen to Harry and then leave me alone."  

I sigh defeatedly and then silently thread with Ron. "What's your big problem with him anyway? Please tell me?" 

"Oh, aside from the fact he's a death eater? Let's see. He constantly bullied me, Harry, and Hermione. Somehow, he suddenly became an angel as soon as you two dated!" 

"People change Ron!" 

He shook his head. "Maybe I'm hard headed Snow, I don't care. I'm going to be fucking prideful right now." I just stayed quiet, because I didn't know what to say after that. For one, I understood his point of view, but at the same time, I still knew I was right. Mattheo was a good person. When we arrived at the Three Broomsticks, Ron sulked over to his chair and just crossed his arms. 

Defeatedly, I asked, " What's up Harry?" 

Harry looked between the two of us suspiciously before finally speaking. "Someone's on to us. I don't know how, but someone keeps following me, and everytime  I turn around and see them, they just turn around so I can't see their face." 

I sit back and sit in deep thought. "I have a list of potential suspects."

"And they are?" Hermione queries.  

"Someone. I'll let you know if I'm right," I say while standing up. 

"You can't just leave and do everything yourself!" Hermione exclaims.

"Why are you surprised. Snow does everything behind our backs," Ron retorted. 

"Look, I'm sorry Mattheo was mean to you, but he's a better person! I really don't want to hurt you, but I don't want to hurt myself or Mattheo either. So please, for my sake, understand my position!" I pleaded. 

He scoffed and turned his head, not even responding. 

I sigh, once again, feeling defeated, and walk off. I mentally went over my very short list.

1. Malfoy 

2. Pansy

3. Tyler

First person I would go to would obviously be fucking Tyler. He's been getting a little too cocky recently, especially with his 18th birthday coming up.  I stomped into the building. Very few Hufflepuff were in the hallway as I made it to the dungeons to get to the Slytherin clubhouse. I said the password, slightly angry, which did not make the portrait very happy. Once I got in, I went upstairs and in a fit, banged on Tyler's door. No response. I banged again, yelling this time. "GET THE FUCK OUT TYLER!" I was calm just a few minutes ago, but anything involving Tyler made my blood boil. 

When he still didn't answer, I got my wand out and cast a spell to make the door open. I heard a click and when I entered, there was no one in there. That was odd, Tyler wasn't one to go to Hogsmeade. I took a few steps ahead, anger still in me. An eerie feeling was settling in the air, almost making me shiver. I looked around when suddenly I felt a presence behind me. 

I didn't even have time to fully turn around before everything went black. 

Sorry for the long wait! I got in here before two weeks! Updates will be back to normal a schedule (every 3-5 days). Thanks for being patient guys!!
