You're losing me

Labyrinth

MATTHEO POV

It was the night before the last task. I couldn't sleep. I got out of my bed and got dressed. I decided to take a walk in Hogwarts. I didn't know what to do. What could I do anyway? I didn't know who put my name in this goblet and that made me want to die. I didn't put it so who did it? I doubted that it was Potter, maybe he didn't like me but why putting his name with mine? I looked at my right and I was able to see that the door of the library was half opened. I entered the room and saw Y/N.

"What are you doing there?" I asked

She turned her head.

"Oh, it's only you."

"Yeah, I guess. But why are you here?"

I sat next to her.

"I'm doing searches."

"About?"

"If I tell you, you promise to keep it for you?

"No, no, I'm going to tell everyone at Hogwarts, Peeves included."

"That's not a joke. You promise?"

"Yeah, of course"

She looked down at her book.

"When I was in Dumbledore's office, he showed me the pensieve. And I saw something in it."

"What?"

"Two men, they were standing next to each others. They were young and I asked Dumbledore if he knew them. And he didn't answer. Of course, I was completely dumb, it was a memory. One of these two men was Dumbledore."

"But which one?"

"I don't know. That's what I'm trying to figure out."

"Why? I mean I don't think it's that much a big deal."

"I guess it is. Like, why would he call me in his office to talk about that? He wants me to discover who this man was, that's the only reason I think can explain all of this."

"And why doing this researches at night, alone where, you're not supposed to be?"

"Because I don't want anybody to know about this."

"So you're hiding. Like an auror."

"More like a FBI agent."

"What?"

She looked at me and laughed

"Nothing."

"Well, I think you should go to bed." I said

"But I...."

"No, it's late."

"What are you? My dad?"

"Fine do whatever you want but if Peeves sees you here, 30 point less for Gryffindor and a detention"

She rolled her eyes.

"Fine, wait."

I helped Y/N pick her the books she had chosen and we walked out of the library.

"So, what did you find?"

"Well, I was searching a way to know with who Dumbledore was friend when he was in Hogwarts. But I didn't find any one who would look like the man he showed me."

"That's all?"

"Yeah, but that took time. And you stopped me in my searches."

"Oh yeah, I'm so sorry please forgive me."

She smiled

"Shut up"

As we reached the Gryffindor's commun room, I noticed something.
