The Brave Slytherin

After the talk

A/N: a bit of a shorter chapter. I just wanted to write how they both felt after the talk, before going for a small jump in time.

Eventhough it hurt to hear Mattheo call me his friend, we went back to how we were. Everyone who noticed something was wrong after our argument, saw that we were okay again and just let it go. Except for Hermione. Hermione came to me when she noticed Mattheo and I were talking again. She knew that we probably had talked and wanted to know if I told Mattheo how I felt. I couldn't lie, so I just told her the truth. How I was too scared to tell him and how he just called me his friend. How that hurt me, but that I'm still glad that we are friends, because I would've been even more heartbroken if I had lost him completely. 
Next to all of this, I spoke to her about trying to move on from Mattheo. If he just saw us as friends, then maybe I should just accept that and move on. I shouldn't make it any harder for either of us, by hoping that one day we might end up together. Hermione still told me, that I should tell Mattheo how I felt, but I just couldn't. So, I didn't. 

Mattheo's POV
I'm glad everything is normal again between me and Y/N. After the talk I had with her, I spoke to Theo again. I told him how we talked about our argument, but also how I realised during the talk, that I might have feelings for her. Theo wasn't surprised. He already thought I did, but he wanted me to find out for myself. He also wants me to tell Y/N, because he thinks she might feel the same way. But, I don't think so. Why would she feel the same way about me? How could she? Like Theo said before, Y/N knows who my father is. And eventhough we are friends, I don't think she could ever be with someone who is related to the person that tried to kill her family. So, I think the best option might just be moving on. My feelings shouldn't fuck up our friendship.
