Everyone is silent, the only sound coming from the unimaginable screams of pain from Y/N. But Harry jumps out of Hagrid's arms, heading straight for Voldemort. With the man distracted, Y/N is finally freed frim the cruciatus curse. She breathes heavily, barely staying conscious.
"Help me," Matteo looks to his friends.
The two boys nod, keeping deatheaters away as Matteo carefully picks up the girls body, carrying her to the infirmary. By the time he lays her on the bed, she has lost consciousness. He hesitates for a moment, not wanting to leave her side, but he knows he has to go back out and fight. Against his father. If Harry doesn't kill Voldemort, he will.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Y/N's eyes slowly flutter open, squinting at the harsh light. She glances around her, quickly sitting up when she realizes where she is. She instantly regrets it though, a groan escaping her lips as every part of her body aches. Listening around for a moment, she hears no more fighting, no more yelling. Just the murmur of the others in the infirmary.
"Y/N, you're up," Theo comes to her side.
"Theo," she wraps her arms around him. "What happened?"
"Potter won," he says softly, returning the hug.
"The Dark Lord...is he?"
"Dead," Theo nods.
Y/N let's out a sharp exhale, "Where's Matteo?"
"Come on," Theo says, helping the girl out of bed.
She slings her arm over his shoulder, wincing with every step she takes, but is determined to see everything. Looking around, sadness swells up inside her at the sight of the causalities and the state of the school. Once they reach the courtyard, she sees Matteo looking out over the edge. Y/N steps forward when she sees Harry start to approach, worried they will get into a fight.
"No, let them talk," Theo stops her.
Matteo looks up to see who is approaching before returning his gaze to the abyss below.
"I'm sorry you lost your father. But it had to be done," Harry stands beside him.
"Sorry?" Matteo lets out a short laugh. "Blimey, you don't need to apologize. I do. I'm sorry I went along with his plan for so long, causing so much grief and pain".
"It's fine. I know you were in a tough situation. But you helped in the end," Harry nods.
"Y/N!" Hermione squeals, running towards the girl, catching the attention of everyone.
"Woah, woah. Easy there," Y/N giggles, hugging Hermione.
"Are you okay? I'm so sorry you had to go through that," Hermione sympathizes.
"I'm okay, thank you," Y/N smiles, shaking her head.
Harry watches before returning his gaze to Matteo, "She seems happy with you. Thank you for protecting her".
"I think she is," Matteo watches the girl.
The two lock eyes, a smile forming on her face, but it is quickly replaced with worry. Blood runs out of his nose and mouth, leaving a trail down his jaw.
"Are you alright?" She hobbles over.
"Are you?"
"Yes," she nods.
"Then yeah, I'm alright," he chuckles.
Y/N turns her attention to Harry, giving him a quick hug, "Thank you for everything, Harry".
"Of course," he gives a small smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Y/N sits in the comfort of the Slytherin common room with Daphne and Pansy. The three girls make small talk, trying to talk about light hearted things.
"Ahem," a voice interrupts their conversation.
Y/N looks up, finding Matteo with Draco, Theo, and Blaise behind him, there to merely hype him up. He looks at Y/N, almost hesitant.
"May I borrow Y/N for a moment?"
Daphne and Pansy glance at each other, small giggles escaping them as they push a blushing Y/N towards the boy. Y/N rolls her eyes at her childish friends, following Matteo to his empty room.
"How are you feeling?" he asks.
"My muscles are sore, but I'll be fine," she shrugs, smiling, as she sits on his bed.
"Good, good..." he trails off, fidgeting with his rings.
Y/N watches him for a moment, trying to study what he is nervous about.
"Blimey," she finally speaks up. "What's got you all nervous? I've never seen you like this," Y/N smirks.
"You, Y/N. You are what makes me nervous," he sighs, running a hand through his hair.
"Why?" Y/N drops the smirk, now confused.
"Well, with my father now gone...the spell that bonded us is broken. You're free to date and love anyone you want now," he explains sheepishly, hating how weak he sounded.
His father was right, she did change him. And the Dark Lord could see it from the beginning. She is his weakness.
"Okay?" Y/N furrows her brows.
"So um-"
"You did get on your knees for me in front of the entire school, so I guess that'll do".
"What?" His face turns red, his eyes widening. "I thought you were unconscious during that".
"Blimey, Matteo. How more clear can I be with my feelings towards you?" she giggles. "Do I have to get on my knees now?"
"So you'll be mine?" He sighs with relief.
"Yes you git. Now come kiss me," she rolls her eyes.
Y/N doesn't have to tell him twice. Matteo swiftly places his lips against hers, smiling. After a few seconds, he pulls away, just enough to speak.
"I told you it was inevitable that you would fall for me".
