The Brave Slytherin

Just like Romeo (Mattheo's POV)

I hope Y/N is having a better holiday than I am. I've been in my room for the past couple of days, just leaving to get food and to go to the bathroom. The moment I got home, my father told me that I'm going to become a deatheater after this schoolyear, instead of the next one. I got so angry when he told me, that I thrashed my entire room. He just laughed in my face. 
Tomorrow I can finally leave this hellhole. It is then that the train to Hogwarts is leaving again and that I'll be with Y/N again. She wrote me a letter saying that she told her family everything and that she wants me to meet her parents tomorrow. I don't know what they think of me, but I just hope they're okay with us being together. I don't know if I would've been knowing who my father is, so I'm incredibly nervous to meet them tomorrow. I tried to sleep, but it didn't really work. Ever since I got home and my father told me the news, I've been having nightmares about either becoming a deatheater or losing Y/N while arguing with my father. However, I ended up sleeping for about two hours in the end, before having to wake up and get ready to go back to school. I packed my stuff and got out of the house as fast as I could. I didn't even say goodbye to my father. I just had to leave. 

I got to Kings Cross station about half an hour early. So, I just waited outside of the train on Y/N. She is always early as well, so I hoped I didn't have to wait too long, and I was lucky, because within 5 minutes I saw her. She was walking through the brickwall with her parents and her brother. She looked just as amazing as ever and I couldn't wait to hold her, but I had to wait. I didn't know how her parents would react to me just going up to their daughter and holding her. The nervousnes that I was feeling after Y/N's letter about wanting me to meet her parents, came flooding back. I was also nervous to tell her the news about my father, so because all of that I was standing with my hands bawled into fists, waiting for her to come towards me. The moment she saw me standing there, she ran up to me and hold me as tight as she could. I immediately hold her even tighter and all of my nerves just faded away.
Her parents came walking up behind her, when she started to introduce me. 'Mom, dad, this is Mattheo.' 'Hi Mattheo, it's so nice to finally meet you.' Okay, her mom seems okay with me. She sounds very sweet, just like how Y/N always described her. 'It's really good to finally meet you too Mrs. and Mr. Potter.' I tried to keep it as formal as I could, not wanting to offend either of her parents. 'Please, call us Lily and James. Mrs. and Mr. sounds so formal.' 'Okay, thank you...Lily.' It felt strange calling her by her first name, but it also felt very welcoming. Something I never felt at home. 'Are you treating my daughter well, Mattheo?' Y/N's father asked out of nowhere. I got a little scared, but I just told him the truth. '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.' Okay, he's very protective of Y/N, but so am I, so I think this might be okay. 'Geez, dad, be nice.' Y/N chimed in. 'It's okay, Y/N. I understand sir. I won't do anything to hurt her.' This is the absolute truth. I would never do anything to hurt her. 

After I think I convinced her dad, that I would treat his daughter right, Y/N said goodbye to her parents and we went onto the train. We caught up with Pansy and Theo and after a long trainride and some dinner, we finally were alone in our room. 
'How is everything with your family now, love?' Y/N has told me a bit in her letter about how telling her family went, but she didn't tell me how it was going the last couple of days, so I thought I would just ask her. 'It's actually going quite alright. Everyone was quite angry at first, but they soon turned around. My grandma just took a little longer that the rest. But, even she is okay with everything now.' 'That's good to hear.' I'm really happy for her, that everything turned out alright with her family. But, I couldn't stay happy too long, because she started asking how it was at my house during the holidays. I told her about how my father told me that I have to become a deatheater in only a couple months, instead of a year and a half. 'How can he just do that? How are we going to come up with a plan in that time?' 'I don't know, love.' I really don't know how we can do anything about this. My father has set his sight on me becoming one of his minions in a couple months and I don't think I can escape that fate. '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...' Y/N started to spiral, so I just took her in my arms. She broke down and it broke me. I have to find a way, so I don't have to leave her to become a deatheater. There has to be a way. I just don't know if I'll find it in time.
