Someone I used to know

'Please stop'

A/N: This part is about when Y/N and Mattheo were still children. They were about 10 years old, before they would go to Hogwarts. 

Also TW: Torture

'Hey Mattheo!!' I said while walking into Mattheo's room. 'Hey Y/N! How are you?' 'I'm good, how are you? I've missed you!' 'I've missed you too!' 'Do you want to play outside in the garden, Mattheo?' 'Yes, let's go!' Mattheo and I went into the garden. 'Catch!' Mattheo threw a quaffle at me. I only just caught it and threw it back at Mattheo who had now jumped on his broom and was flying in the air. I quickly grabbed a spare broom out of their shed and flew up in the air as well. I had left my own broom in the forest, when I arrived and Mattheo never minded me using his old spare broom. While I was still rising into the air, Mattheo threw the quaffle at me again, but this time I missed it. I didn't want to go all the way down to the ground to grab it again, so I just said Wingardium Leviosa and lifted it back up to me. 'Hey, that's not fair! You can't use magic!' Mattheo yelled at me from about 20 meters away. 'Well, life's not fair.' I said while laughing and shrugging my shoulders. 
We kept on playing catch for a while and after that we ended up just talking while sitting in the grass. 
After a couple of hours, I noticed it was getting late, so I quickly stood up. 'Oh no, it's getting too late. I have to go home Mattheo.' 'Okay, Y/N. When will I see you again?' 'I can come on monday, if you want.' 'Yes!! That sounds great!' 'Okay, then I'll see you then!'  'Bye Y/N! See you later!!' 'Bye, Mattheo!' 

I walked into the house towards the front door when I heard something. 'Y/N Parkinson.' 'Yeah? Who is there?' I asked. I couldn't see who said my name, until Voldemort stepped into the light. 'Oh, hi Mr Riddle.' I said. 'Hello Y/N. Before you go home, could I maybe talk to you for a minute?' 'Yes, ofcourse sir.' 'Good. Follow me.' I followed Voldemort out of the hallway and down some stairs into a room I had never seen before. 'What is this room?' I wondered. 'It's one of my meetingrooms.' 'Oh okay. What did you want to talk to me about, sir?' 'I wanted to ask you, why you have been spending so much time with my son.' 'Because, he is my best friend.' 'Did you know, that you're distracting him from becoming a powerful wizard?' 'No, sir. I didn't know that. But, why would I be distracting him? We're just playing and talking.' 'Because of you two hanging out, Mattheo has less time to learn the magic he needs to become one of the greatest wizards to ever live.' 'Oh, I'm sorry. That was never my intention. What can I do to help him?' 'You need to leave him alone and not come over here anymore.' 'But, he is my best friend! I can't do that!' 'You will Y/N! Because, if you don't, I'm going to hurt you. And you don't want that, do you now?' 'No sir. I'll try my best to let Mattheo get more time for his magic.' 'Good. Now you can go home Y/N and I hope I won't see you anymore.' 'I'll do my best sir.' 

I don't know exactly what Voldemort meant by hurting me, but I don't want to find out. However, I also don't want to never see Mattheo again, so I'll have to come up with a plan to both avoid Voldemort and still see Mattheo. And I have to come up with it before monday. I can do this. Wait, I think I already know how I'm going to do it. Voldemort is always away from home until 4 in the afternoon, so I just have to make sure, that I'm gone before he comes home. And I'll just leave my broom in the forest like I always do, so he won't notice it, if he decides to come home earlier. This might work. 

A/N: small time skip till monday

Today is the day. This is the first time ever, that I need to sneek in and out of the house without Voldemort knowing and without Mattheo figuring out what I'm trying to do. He can't know what his father told me. If he finds out, he will go against his father and I don't want his father to hurt Mattheo too. I left my broom in the forest and now I'm walking past the house. I'm looking through the windows, to see if I see anyone, but nobody's inside. I quietly opened the front door and ran up the stairs as fast as I could. I knocked on Mattheo's door and walk in when he said come in. 'Hey Y/N! You're here.' 'Ofcourse I'm here Mattheo. I said I would come over today right.' 'Yeah, I know, but it just makes me happy to see you again.' 'It makes me happy too!' 'Since you're here, do you want to play some games?' 'Yes, ofcourse. What were you thinking of?' 'Maybe we can play Monopoly? It's this muggle game that I found.' 'Sounds fun, let's do it.' 
We ended up playing Monopoly for about two hours, when I checked the time. 'Oops..' 'What's wrong Y/N?' 'Nothing, it's just...I needed to go home at 4 o'clock, but it's already 4.15 p.m. So, I'm just late.' 'Oh, I didn't know you had a curfew.' Ofcourse I don't have a curfew, but I do need to leave right now. It was already risky getting out of the house before 4 p.m., but now Voldemort is probably home and he will see me. I just have to leave as fast as possible, before he walks into Mattheo's room. 'Normally I don't, but my parents had some plans, so I really need to leave now.' 'Okay. That's a shame, but I'll see you soon again, right?' 'Yes, ofcourse. I'll send you a letter to see when we can hang out again. But, I need to go now, so bye Mattheo!!' 'Bye, Y/N.'

I quickly ran out of the room and looked around to see if I saw Voldemort. I didn't see him, so I ran down the stairs and towards the front door when I heard him.
'Y/N Parkinson!' 'Yes, sir?' Voldemort saw me. That wasn't the plan. I need to leave here as quickly as I can, but how? He is blocking the frontdoor and I can't go any other way. 'I thought I told you to not come here again?!' 'You did, sir.' 'Then, why are you here?!' 'Because, Mattheo asked me to come over and I hadn't seen him in a long time and I hoped you wouldn't mind and I....' 'Silence!' I quickly stopped talking. I didn't want Voldemort to get even angrier with me, than he already was. 'Now, do you remember what I told you what would happen if you would come over here again, Y/N?' 'Yes, I do sir. You said you would hurt me. But, please don't!! I'm begging you!' 'It's too late now, Y/N. So, you can either walk downstairs with me voluntarily or I'll make you get downstairs in  a less than friendly way.' 'I'm coming.' I quickly followed Voldemort down the stairs , hoping that if I just worked with him, that he would maybe change his mind about hurting me. 

'Now Y/N, I want you to sit down on that chair and listen closely to me.' 'Ofcourse, sir.' I sat down and stared at Voldemort. 'Because you didn't listen to me last time, I'm going to say it one more time, but first I want you to know the consequences of your choices. Crucio!' He performed the Cruciatus curse on me. It hurt so much and I couldn't do anything about it. 'Please....stop....It hurts....' He stopped for a quick second to let me catch my breath and then he once again performed the Cruciatus curse. 'Now, what are you not going to do anymore Y/N?' 'I'm.... not.... coming.... over..... here.... anymore.' It was hard to talk, but I had to. 'Good! And I don't want you to be in contact with Mattheo anymore at all.' He stopped the curse to let me speak. 'I can't do that. Please, let me at least talk to him!' 'You still don't get it do you?! You're not going to talk or see Mattheo ever again Y/N! Because otherwise, this...Crucio.' he once again performed the Cruciatus curse. '...Will keep happening to you, until you decide what is the right choice. So, what is going to happen Y/N?' 'I... won't.... talk.... to.... him.... anymore...' I started to cry, because I knew that not seeing or talking to Mattheo, would be the only way to stop this. It was the one thing I never wanted, but I also can't handle this everytime I see Mattheo. 'That's what I wanted to hear.' Voldemort stopped the torturing and I could breathe again. 'I won't talk to Mattheo anymore, but can I please say one last goodbye to him? I'm begging you!' 'NO! I'll tell him you left and you won't come back again. You just said goodbye to him upstairs and that was the last time. Now, leave and never come back!' 'Okay.' 

While still crying, I quickly ran out of the room, up the stairs and towards the front door. Just before I touched the front door, I heard someone say my name. 'Y/N?! What are you still doing here? I thought you left? And why are you crying?' I turned around and saw Mattheo coming down the stairs. I quickly wiped away the tears. 'It's nothing. But, I have to go now. And Mattheo... just know that I'm always there for you, even if I'm not there. Just look at the stars and pretend I'm sitting next to you looking at them with you. Goodbye!' 'Wait Y/N!!!' And with that I ran out of the house into the forest where I stepped onto my broom and flew home. 

That was the last time I saw Mattheo. I miss him so much. He was my best friend and now I can never see him again. I hope that he will be okay and that his father is nicer to him, than he was to me.
