I woke up 7:00 trying to get ready for class only to see Mattheo gone out of his dorm. I walked quietly to my dorm and Pansy sitting there with a book.

"So y/n, what happened last night, you didn't come back to the dorm?"

"I slept in Mattheos dorm. We didn't do anything crazy, we watched some movies, talked."

She gave me a "mhm, sure" look and got back to her book.

I suddenly looked at the clock.

"Crap Pansy! We're gonna be late for potions!"

She laughs and hands me the Dailey Prophet.

My eyes scan the page as Pansy talks, "Classes were canceled today for safety reasons, they don't know if the attack was linked to Voldemort."

My eyes widen at the top headline, "Krum family brutally tortured and have disappeared. Law Enforcement are still investigating."

"I-I have to go, I totally forgot my parents wanted me to have lunch with them, sorry, bye!"

I ran out of my dorm and to Mattheos, trying to find a note, address, anything to help me find him.

I suddenly was pulled back by my waist and pushed against a wall by a masked person.

I punched the attacker and gave them a bloody nose. I escaped their grasp and was about to do a crucio curse when all of a sudden I heard his voice.

"Darling, stop, it's just me, I can't let anyone find out I left, otherwise my alibi can be proven fake."

He took off his mask and showed me his beautiful face.

"Oh Mattheo, I was so worried, but what the hell?!"

I slapped him and pulled him into a hug.

"Love I'm getting very mixed signals and a hurt face from this conversation."

I laughed and sat down on his bed with him.

"Ok but Mattheo, did you...kill them?"

I was begging he didn't, I couldn't imagine him being wanted for murder, never seeing him again. I wouldn't be able to, I don't want to imagine it, makes me want to cry.

"No Darling, I didn't kill them."

"But the newspaper said they were tortured and there was blood,-"

"The blood was fake."

"What do you mean fake?"

"I invited Victor Krum for drinks way late last night. I asked him if I could buy your freedom."

"Mattheo wait what-"

"Shh. Let me finish. He said I didn't even have to pay. He didn't want to marry you either, he said it wasn't any offense to you, but he was in love with someone else. He and I signed a magical contract guaranteeing your safety and freedom.

"Ok but the blood-"

"-But, for him to be safe from your father, they needed to disappear, he and his family staged a crime scene and fled."

"You are amazing. God I could kiss you right now."

He grinned. "Why aren't you?"

I chuckled. "Maybe the blood all over your face?"

He lightly touched his nose. "Ouch, ya I forgot about that, I don't think its broken though, but I also have a cut."

"Well, let's get you cleaned up, then we can do Whatever. We. Want."

"I like the sound of that darling."
