Forever & Always (Mattheo Riddle x Y/n)

7.

~Y/n's POV~

I climbed up the stairs to the Astronomy tower, the only place you can apparate in Hogwarts. I learned how to Apparate ever since I was little, my parents made me do it, even though it was illegal.

I paced back and forth in the darkness, scratching my left forearm until it bled. It's a bad habit of mine, I do it whenever I'm nervous. Like whenever I go to my parents house.

Just knowing that I'll one day get the dark mark made me hate that arm already. I could already imagine the permanent ink that will be on my arm, controlling me until I'm no longer myself.

To be honest, I feel bad for the death eaters. To normal people in the wizarding world, they are enemies- loyal to Voldy by choice. But to me, I think they deserve better, I see it all first hand- them getting the dark mark so they can prove something and make something of themselves. But I also see Voldemort slowly turning them in to cruel, manipulate people. Only following Voldy's commands like their life depended on it- it does. But their not themselves anymore, there just puppets of Voldemort, my parents are puppets.

I still remember a time, long long time ago, around when I was 4. I remember my father carrying me on his shoulders, letting me reach the cherry blossom tress. My mom setting down a picnic underneath, letting us view rows and rows of these beautiful trees while the pink pedals flew down on us when there was wind. My family went to japan that spring. Back when my family was happy, back when it wasn't destroyed by their tattoos.

"Esmeray, what are you doing after curfew?" I heard a deep voice, Mattheo's.

I snapped out of my thoughts, turning around to see Mattheo with a cigarette in between his fingers.

"Are you stalking me Riddle? A bit creepy don't you think?"

"Don't flatter yourself, I was just here for a late night smoke- so leave." Mattheo demanded, glaring at me while inhaling his cigarette.

"I was just about to leave anyway." I mumbled, my wrist watch telling me it was 9:59. Shit-

Mattheo walked next to me and leaned against the railing, looking at the stars.

"Riddle- umm, can you leave really quick? I have to do something." I said, needing to be alone so I can apparate without anyone seeing.

"No, do whatever you need to do. I don't give a fuck so don't act like I pay attention to a thing your doing." Damn chill Riddle.

I looked at him, he was still looking outside the tower. I quickly apparated when he wasn't looking.

The road was lit by street lamps but other than that, it was pitch black. I could see the Esmeray manor in the dark. A huge Manor that was pitch dark because they covered the house with black curtains.

I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Your late." My father said, looking down at me with a disgusted look.

"Good to see you too father." I said, trying not to roll my eyes as it will only get me in trouble.

"We need to discuss..." My mother said in a serious voice.

I followed my parents to the living room, my parents sat on one couch and I sat on the armchair.

The house elves served us tea while we talk.
