His and Only His | Mattheo Riddle

A Trip to Hogsmeade

*the next morning*
~Cordelia's POV~
I ended up falling asleep in Mattheo's arms last night, but when I wake up he's gone. I spot a note sitting right where he was laying. "Just got changed and I'm going to breakfast. I'll be back in a bit," the note read. I yawn and stretch and then decide to get up and get ready as well. It's a Sunday so there are no classes. I feel like going to Hogsmeade today, so I'll see if the others will come with me. Once I'm dressed and walk out of the Slytherin common rooms, Draco spots me as he walks closer to me and smirks. As soon as he's close enough, he pins me to the wall and starts kissing me. I try my hardest to push him away, but he's stronger than I am. I even try to yell for help but before I get the chance to let words escape my mouth, he crashes his lips onto mine with such a hard force that it silences me.

Suddenly, Draco gets forced to the ground by Mattheo, who appeared out of nowhere. Mattheo gets on top of Draco and rapidly punches him until Draco lays there unconscious. I burst into tears and run into Mattheo's arms as soon as he stands up. He holds me tightly, stroking my hair to comfort me. "Shh. It's okay, love. I won't ever let him do that again," he says, kissing the top of my head. "I-I was so s-scared, Theo," I manage to say. "I know you were, darling. I know," he says, still trying to comfort me. He walks into the Slytherin common room with me and we spot Pansy and Theodore sitting on the couch. Pansy immediately rushes over to me and hugs me. "What's wrong, babes?" Pansy asks me. I look over to Mattheo as a sign to have him tell them and he nods and starts explaining the situation to them. "Draco was sexually harassing Cordelia in the hall. That was until I spotted him doing that to her and knocked him unconscious."

"That motherfucker is gonna get it for hurting my sister," Theodore says, standing up and pulling me into a hug as well. I take a deep breath and pull away from all of the hugs I was getting. "Guys, I'll be fine. Can we please just go to Hogsmeade so I can forget about this whole thing?" I ask the group. "Of course, boo," Pansy says with a nod. I look at Mattheo and grab his hand comfortingly. I plant a small kiss on his cheek. "Thank you," I whisper in his ear. He nods and smiles at me. I let go of his hand and go with Pansy to her room. My brother goes with Mattheo into our room. Pansy and I get to her room. "Are you sure your okay?" she asks as she gets ready for Hogsmeade. I'm already ready. "I'm still kind of shaken up, but I'll be fine. I promise," I say, squeezing her hand. She takes a deep breath and hugs me again. Then she goes back to finishing up getting ready. We head back out to the common room to wait for the boys. "The boys always complain that we take too long to get ready but yet we are the first ones out here," I say, cracking a joke that makes both me and Pansy laugh.

They finally come out of the dorm and we start heading to Hogsmeade. Once we get there we decide to sit down on a nearby bench to talk about where in Hogsmeade we want to go. After a few minutes of discussing, we decide to go to the Three Broomsticks for some delicious butterbeer. We walk into Three Broomsticks and sit down in a booth. Then we all ordered butterbeer. I feel much better than I felt a few minutes ago since I'm hanging out with my friends. But they aren't just friends to me, they're family. Obviously Theodore has always been family to me, but you know what I mean. We laugh, joke, gossip, and talk together as we wait for our butterbeer. But every so often I feel Theo's eyes lingering on my body. But every time I look at him, he looks away and goes back to the current conversation. Finally, our butterbeer arrives and we just keep doing what we were doing before our butterbeers came, bonding.
