Someone I used to know

Party (Mattheo's pov)

That one day was the scariest day of my life. I used to feel scared when my father would hurt me, but it all feels like nothing compared to the day I had to talk Y/N down from the edge of the astronomy tower. I was terrified she would jump and I would lose the one thing I'm living for. The one person, that makes me feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world, when she smiles at me. That day was now almost over. After Y/N walked into my arms, we walked back downstairs towards her room. She said she felt tired, so she went to lay down. She asked me if I could come cuddle with her and I told her I would in a couple minutes. I had to talk to Pansy about what happened and to tell her we needed to keep a close eye on Y/N. I really think she is going to be okay now, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I asked Pansy to come outside with me for a quick second, since she was in the room as well. She followed me outside. 'How did you get her to talk again?' Pansy asked me with a small smile. 'I... I found her... She was at the top of the astronomy tower... she... was... about to... jump... I talked her down and told her about how I'm happy that my father is gone and I convinced her we needed her to stay with us and that nothing was her fault and that I would have killed my father too. But, Pansy, I almost lost her. She was on the edge. She was looking out into the distance and down. She almost fell. She almost jumped. What if I was too late? What if I couldn't talk her down? What if she did jump? I....' I started to spiral. 'But, you weren't. You weren't too late and you did talk her down. She didn't jump and you made sure she is safe now, Mattheo. Thank you for that! I don't know, what I would've done without my sister, so thank you.' 'Pansy, please don't thank me, because she was in this whole predicament, because of my father.' 'You're saying that right, your father, not you. So, don't feel guilty over it. You guys are finally free from your father, so just enjoy being able to be together.' 'Okay.' 'Now, go to my sister, because she needs some cuddles.' 'Yes, ma'am.' I said with a small chuckle. 

I walked back into the room and there she was. Laying on her bed, with her eyes half-closed. 'Babe, I missed you.' She said. She hadn't called me babe in what felt like forever. She pushed me away after what happened with my father, but now she's letting me in again. 'I'm here, love. Now move over, so I can join you.' I said with a smile on my face. She moved a bit to the side and I layed down next to her. She layed her head on my chest and together we cuddled until we fell asleep. 

After a couple hours, I woke up because of some movement. Y/N had woken up and tried to get out of my arms. 'Where are you going, love?' I asked her still half-asleep. 'I wanted to get some dinner, since I still haven't eaten anything yet today and it's already 8 pm.' She wants to eat something? Then, we have to go. 'Okay, let's go.' I said with a smile. It broke me this morning, seeing her not wanting to take even one bite out of her favourite breakfast. So, now that she wants to eat something, I'm going to make sure, she's at least able to. We got out of bed and walked towards the Great Hall. There were still some people eating, but most were just talking or had already gone back to there own houses. I saw Pansy and Theo still sitting at the Slytherin table, so we walked over to them and sat down opposite them. 'Hey, guys.' Theo said. 'Hey, Theo and Pansy.' Y/N said with a small smile. 'How are you feeling, Y/N?' Theo asked. 'A bit better.' She responded. 'Good.' Theo said. I'm happy to see a smile on her face again. I missed it. Y/N started to fill her plate with some food. She didn't eat all of it, but she did eat some, which is a whole lot better than this morning. I also started eating some food, because I was starving. After seeing what was happening to Y/N this morning, I couldn't eat much either. But, now that she was feeling better, my appetite has come back. 

During dinner I talked a lot with Pansy and Theo, while Y/N was sitting next to us. She kept quite quiet during the conversations, but gave an occasional response when we asked her something. After about an hour, Y/N said that she would go back to her room, since she was tired, and told me I could stay at the Great Hall with Pansy and Theo. I told her that I would go with her and Pansy and Theo, decided they would go back to their rooms as well. So, we all walked back together. Pansy, Y/N and me said goodbye to Theo and we walked into Pansy and Y/N's room. Y/N got into her bed immediately and asked me to lay with her. I layed down next to her and she curled up in my arms, where she fell asleep almost instantly. Since both Pansy and I were still awake, we were talking a bit about Y/N and how we could help her. We decided that one of us, should be with her at all times, just to let her know that she's not alone and that we're here for her. After we decided that, Pansy and I went to sleep as well. 

Over the next two weeks, Y/N started to get back to her usual self more and more. She was smiling every day and she started playing Quidditch again. And ofcourse, the first match she played after everything, she helped the Slytherin team to victory. Since, it wouldn't be Slytherin if we didn't have a party when we win a Quidditch game, there was going to be a party tonight. Y/N and I were getting dressed and ready for the party in my room. She didn't know what she should wear, so I had to help her choose. She was deciding between a pair of black, leather pants with a croptop with poofy sleeves or a little black dress with a split on the side. She looked hot in both outfits, but I told her that she should go for the one where she would feel most comfortable in. She ended up putting on the black dress with some black sneakers and some golden accessories. She looked stunning. I ended up wearing some black jeans with a white t-shirt and a black denim jacket on top of it. Y/N turned around to look at my outfit and she got a little lost for words. 'Damn, boy. You look hot.' She said while laughing. 'Thanks, love. You look stunning as well.' I said with a small chuckle before pulling her closer to me and kissing her passionately. She pulled away and I looked at her with a small pout. 'Why did you pull away?' I asked her. 'The others are waiting on us at the party, babe.' 'Well, they can wait a little longer, don't you think.' I said before picking her up and laying her on the bed. I moved on top of her and starting making out with her. 

After a couple minutes, Y/N pushed me a bit back. 'Okay, babe, we really have to go now.' She said to me. I knew we had to go, but I didn't want to leave. She gave me one more peck on the lips, before slithering out from underneath me. 'Come on, babe. Let's go.' She said once again. 'Fine. But, we're finishing this later.' I said with a smirk on my face. 'Sounds good.' She grabbed my hand and pulled me of the bed and out the door. We walked into the common room hand in hand. We used to need to keep our relationship somewhat a secret, because of my father, but it's nice to know, that we don't have to do that anymore. When we walked into the commonroom, Theo came walking up to us. 'There you are loverbirds. Took you long enough. Got busy doing something else?' He said to us while laughing. I looked at Y/N, who started blushing. 'Well, be happy we're here at all. If it was up to me, we would still be somewhere else right now.' I said with a chuckle. 'Mattheo!' Y/N said while getting red of embarrassment. Pansy came walking up to us and gave Y/N a hug. 'Happy you came, sis!!' She said with a lot of enthusiasm. 'Me too, Pansy.' Y/N responded. 'Did you girls want a drink?' I asked them, so I could get one for them and give them some time alone. 'Yes please, babe.' Y/N responded. 'Butterbeers?' I asked. Y/N looked at Pansy who nodded. 'Sounds good.' Y/N said, before I walked off with Theo to get their drinks. 

'I know you've been busy with Y/N and trying to make her feel better about the whole situation, but how are you doing, Mattheo?' Theo asked me. 'Hm?' I responded, not having heard completely what he said. 'How are you doing, Mattheo, after everything with your father?' 'I'm doing alright. Yeah, he was my father by blood, but other than that, he was not much of a father to me the last couple years. I'm just glad that everything's finally over and I can be with Y/N without having to worry about him.' 'Okay. If you're ever not alright or you want to talk about anything, you know where to find me.' 'I know. Thanks, Theo.' 'Now, let's get these drinks back to the ladies.' Theo said with a smirk. 

Theo and I walked back to Y/N and Pansy and gave them their drinks, while they were dancing together. Y/N kept on dancing the entire evening. Somewhere during the night, she was dancing together with Theo, while I was grabbing a drink. Pansy stood next to me and said: 'She looks so much better.' 'Yeah, she really does. I'm happy she does. I missed this, to be honest. I missed her being her happy self.' I responded. 'Me too.' After she said that, I walked over to Theo and Y/N. 'May I have this dance, love?' I asked Y/N while holding out my hand. 'You sure can, babe.' Theo responded, while grabbing my hand. 'Don't you dare steal my man, Theo.' Y/N said with a stern face. 'I'm sorry m'lady. You can have him.' Theo said while laughing and handing my hand to Y/N. 'Thank you, kind sir.' Y/N said with a smile on her face, before getting close to me and starting to dance with me. We stayed dancing close to eachother for a long while, until a lot of people already went back to their dorms and the only ones here, were Y/N, me, Pansy, Theo, Blaise and Draco. But, we didn't care they were here as well, we just cared about eachother. Y/N and I were looking into eachothers eyes when Y/N said: 'Thank you for always being there for me, Mattheo. Because, I wouldn't know what to do without you.' 'Love, I wouldn't survive without you, so being here is all I would want in life.' 'I love you so much.' 'I love you too.'
