The Brave Slytherin

Just like Juliet

Today is the day, I'm going back to Hogwarts again. I just arrived at Kings Cross station and Mattheo was waiting outside the train for me. I had written a letter to him, telling him I told my family everything and that I would love for him to meet my parents. I saw him standing there a little bit uncomfortable, but once I ran into his arms to hug him, he instantly relaxed. 'Mom, dad, this is Mattheo.' 'Hi Mattheo, it's so nice to finally meet you.' My mom told him sweetly. 'It's really good to finally meet you too Mrs. and Mr. Potter.' Mattheo responded. 'Please, call us Lily and James. Mrs. and Mr. sounds so formal.' My mother responded. 'Okay, thank you...Lily.' Mattheo said. 'Are you treating my daughter well, Mattheo?' My father said out of nowhere. 'I think I do sir. I would do anything to make her happy.' 'Okay good. Don't you dare hurt her, because I will come for you and I don't care who your father is, because I will kill you both if I have to.' 'Geez, dad, be nice.' 'It's okay, Y/N. I understand sir. I won't do anything to hurt her.' Mattheo said. 'Okay...we need to go mom and dad. I'll talk to you later, okay?' I said to my parents. 'Yes, sweetheart. Go on and have some fun with your friends.' My mom responded. 'Will do. Bye.' And with that Mattheo and I walked onto the train and sat down in our usual compartment with Pansy and Theo. We all caught up with eachother and once we got back to Hogwarts we went to dinner and our own rooms again. 

'How is everything with your family now, love?' Mattheo asked me once we were alone in our room. 'It's actually going quite alright. Everyone was quite angry at first, but they soon turned around. My grandma just took a little longer than the rest. But, even she is okay with everything now.' 'That's good to hear.' 'How was everything at your house, Mattheo?' 'Well...it wasn't really a happy Christmas, I guess.' 'What happened?' I started to worry a little bit. Mattheo never really felt at home with his family, but he always said it was alright. This time he didn't say that, so I'm scared something happened. 'My father, he..uhh... he still wants me to become a deatheater, but he decided it wouldn't be after our seventh year.' 'When does he want you to become one, Mattheo.' 'After our sixth year. After this year.' I felt my heart sink in my chest. The end of this year is only a couple months away. We had another year and a half to think of a plan, not just a couple months. 'How can he just do that? How are we going to come up with a plan in that time?' 'I don't know, love.' 'We have to figure something out quick. We can't let him force you to become a deatheater, he can't do that. And especially not before you even finish school. We....' Before I could keep on rambling, Mattheo just took me in his arms and I broke down. I was scared to lose him and scared for him to lose himself once he becomes a deatheater. I have to find a way for that not to happen, whatever it takes. 

After we both calmed down a bit, we went to lay in bed. I tried to fall asleep, but I couldn't. I layed awake the whole night thinking of a way to fix this. And I might have found a way. What if, I go to you-know-who, well Voldemort. If I'm going to execute my plan, I should at least dare to say his name. So, what if I go to Voldemort and propose him an idea. I will take Mattheo's place. I will become a deatheater instead. I don't want to become one, but I'd rather see myself be one, than Mattheo being forced to be one. And I guess Voldemort would rather have someone who would do every task without talking back, than someone who would go against him every step of the way. I don't know, if it'll work and how I'm going to even go to Voldemort, but it's worth a try. While I was thinking about my plan, I suddenly felt Mattheo moving a lot and talking a bit in his sleep. He was saying something about not wanting to do it and that he was scared. I held him tight and told him everything would be okay. It somehow calmed him down a bit and made him sleep peacefully again. 

After I had woken up from a couple of hours of sleep. I got out of bed and I walked into the commonroom. Theo was alone sitting on the couch. Theo has known Mattheo the longest, so maybe he knows anything about his father and how I can reach him. Mattheo was still sleeping, so I had a little bit of time to talk to Theo, before he would notice I was gone. 'Goodmorning Theo.' 'Goodmorning Y/N. Did you sleep alright.' 'Not really, to be honest. How about you?' 'Not that good either. Why didn't you sleep that good Y/N?' 'I was up thinking the whole night.' 'What about?' 'Mattheo and his father.' 'Did he tell you?' 'What?' 'He told me a couple weeks ago, that he told you he was supposed to become a deatheater after seventh year, so I suppose he already told you what he heard when he was back home for Christmas.' 'Yes, he did.' 'So, I guess you were thinking about that, Y/N?' 'Yes, I was. I was just thinking of a plan to get Mattheo out of becoming a deatheater.' 'And did you come up with something? Because, his father isn't the easiest in changing his plans.' 'I figured that, but yes I did indeed come up with a plan and I think I need you for that.' 'Why do you need me for that?' 'Because, Theo, I suppose you know where Voldemort lives.' 'I do know that, but why do you want to know that? You don't want to go there, do you? Because that would be a terrible idea, Y/n.' I can tell him the truth, but then he will never give me the adress, so I'll just make up a lie. I have to get that adress and he's the only one that can give it to me. 'No, ofcourse not. I...I.. thought of maybe writing a letter, to convince his father to let Mattheo be himself instead of forcing him to be a deatheater. Or at least to wait until after he finishes school.' 'That must be one hell of a letter you want to write. But, I still think, that won't be a good idea, Y/N.' 'It's the only idea I have Theo. So, please can you help me?' 'Only if you promise me, that you absolutely will not try to go over there.' 'I promise. But, you have to promise not to tell Mattheo about any of this.' 'Okay.' Theo gave me the adress and not even a minute later, Mattheo walked into the room. 'Hi, love. Morning Theo. Everything okay?' Mattheo said. I looked at Theo and back at Mattheo. 'Yes, babe. Everything is completely okay.' Mattheo looked at Theo and Theo also said that everything was okay. I think Mattheo wasn't completely convinced yet, so I just tried to distract him by asking what his plans were for the day. 'I thought maybe we could go to Hogsmeade together and have breakfast there.' Mattheo said. 'I would love that. I just have to get ready really quick than.' 'Yes, go ahead. I'll wait here for you.' I ran of to our room and quickly got dressed in a cute outfit and did my hair. In about 10 minutes I was ready and I walked back out into the commonroom. 'You look amazing, love.' 'Thank you, babe.' 'Okay, let's go. Bye Theo.' I said. 'Bye, Y/N. Bye, Mattheo.'
