His and Only His | Mattheo Riddle

Back to Hogwarts

~Cordelia's POV~
"Fuck. Why do we have to go back to school?" Mattheo groans as we sit in our usual spots on the train. "For-" I try to say, but get stopped. "Rhetorical question. That was a rhetorical question, Cor," Mattheo says as he stares out the window. Of course he knew that I was gonna say that it's for our education. Oh hey! Let me introduce myself. I'm Cordelia Nott. I'm twins with Theodore Nott, but I'm 5 minutes older. The cranky bitch sitting next to me is Mattheo Riddle. Yes, his father is Voldemort. Get over it. All the girls swoon over Mattheo, and all the girls are jealous of me since I'm so close with him. Usually people call me Lia, but Mattheo likes to call me Cor instead. "Sup bitches!" My dork-of-a-brother shouts as he sits down across from Mattheo. Pansy comes in shortly after. Her eyes rolled from Theodore's annoying personality. I usually call my brother dork or idiot and Mattheo's nickname from me is Theo. I call Pansy a few things, but mostly Pans. "Hey boo!" Pansy says to me as she sits across from me. "Hey Pans!" I say, greeting her back.

Yup, that's our group. Just us 4. And that's how we like it too. You may be asking about Draco and Blaise. Well, they have their own group with their own minions. They are major brats. Especially Draco. I can't believe that Crabbe and Goyle would even want to be their minions but whatever. They can go fuck themselves, mainly Draco. If you couldn't tell, I hate Draco. He always flirts with me and totally wants to date me but spoiled brats just aren't my type. "Why is Mattheo being so quiet?" Pansy asks. "Like usual, he doesn't want to come back to school," I respond to Pansy, nudging Theo's shoulder a bit. Dork is just in the corner in his own little world so I decide to be nice and not bother him for now.

*at Hogwarts, in the Slytherin common room*
Mattheo flops right down on the common room couch after walking in the door. If you couldn't tell, he's sick of school. He always has been. But luckily for him, we are in our 7th year this year. So we are in our last year of school. "Mattheo, come on! Let's go to our dorms," I say, pulling Mattheo up and to our room. Usually, a girl has to bunk with a girl and a boy has to bunk with a boy, but with Theo being a Riddle he has some special perks since some people tend to be afraid of him. But in reality, Mattheo wouldn't hurt people unless they mess with his friends, especially me. And his special perks helped make it possible for us to bunk together, in the biggest room in the Slytherin dormitories. We walk into our room and I immediately start unpacking. But my unpacking gets interrupted by Theo picking me up and throwing me on his bed. "Dude!" I shout at him. "What was that for?" I ask. "No reason," he says as he lays down next to me. I wrap my arm around the back of his neck and snuggle close to him. "As much as I may love your snuggles, we have to go to dinner," I say, making him groan. "Fine."

He gets up and picks me up bridal style then sets me down once we are out of the common room. We just happen to run in to Draco, who's going to the common room. "Nice ass, Nott," Malfoy says as he smacks it, making me yelp. Mattheo pins Draco against the wall. "Don't touch my girl," Theo yells. "There's no way in hell that Nott would date you," Draco says with a smirk as he's being put down. Theo walks over to me, picks me up, and crashes his lips into mine. I wrap my legs around his waist and run my fingers through his hair as I kiss him back. I know this is all an act, but I really wish it wasn't. As soon as we stop kissing, we noticed that Draco had left us alone. Probably because he was mad that his bullying failed.

We finally sit in our seats in the Great Hall. Just like how we sat on the train, I sit next to Theo, dork is across from him, and Pansy sits next to dork. Dumbledore says a welcome back speech and all that and then he lets us eat. I don't always eat a lot, but I decide to eat a little more today. But only because I don't feel like hearing any of my friends telling me to eat more. Pansy notices that I grabbed more food than normal. "I'm so glad that you're eating more tonight, babes," she says, rubbing my shoulder in a comforting way. I smile at her then go back to eating my food. Once dinner is over, Mattheo and I head back to our rooms to get some sleep. We don't have school tomorrow because it'll be a Sunday, so I'm not sure what we will end up doing.

"Theo?" I say, getting his attention. "What's wrong, Cor?" He responds. "Oh nothing. Nevermind. I just wanted to say goodnight," I say. What I really wanted to ask was why he kissed me, but I got too scared and backed out. He smiles at me and I smile back. "Goodnight, Cor," he says, covering himself up with the covers. And just like that, I drifted to sleep.
