Mattheo Riddle - Death eater?

I enter the Hufflepuff common room, waving to a couple to people with a slight smile.

It's almost been a year since Cedric died, and Hufflepuff hasn't felt the same since, it feels more gloomy, grey...

Dark.

But I brush my thoughts away as I walk up the staires to the girls dormitories and slam open my door.

"Jeez, could you be any louder?" Susan rolled her eyes and went back to ignoring me.

I scoffed to myself and got down on my knees, grabbing new clothes and PJ's to where I was heading to tonight.

"Where are you going?" Rachel, another girl in my dorm had asked.

"I've been assigned to go on an excersion with Professor McGonagall on such short notice, I am preparing for tonight and tomorrow, you won't see me tomorrow morning." 

"Oh, I didn't know I-"

"No need, I do not need your apology or your pity, just leave me be." And with that I grabbed the bag and threw it over my shoulder with my book in hand.

I walk down the stairs, not looking back at the girls to the main lounge and take place on a small, one seater cushion. I placed my bag at my feet and open my book to read as I waited slowly for everyone to leave for bed.

Professor Sprout had opened the door and cleared her throat, "All students are to return to their dormitories immediately, lights out will happen in 10 minutes." And then she left and closed the door shut once she was finished.

And then came the new headmaster of Hogwarts, "What are you still doing up Miss Rose?" She asked.

I couldn't have glared at her more, I hated her and she hated me, "There's 10 minutes till lights out, I'm simply reading, do you have a problem with that love?" I smirked at her to see her dumbfolded expression after calling her 'love.'

"Students will adress their teachers by 'Professor, Sir or Miss'," She said. I rolled my eyes and continued to read as she spoke and whinged about how kids are ungrateful and don't do what they're told.

I hated her teacher, she was a pain in my ass and was no help in anything, I could careless about going to sleep, I think her name was Umbridge or something?

All the kids called her Umbitch though, I think the name is fitting.

Everyone groaned in annoyance and got up slowly, walking back to their dormitories and preparing for lights out.

10 minutes had passed and everyone was finally gone. 

I put my book away inside my bag and threw it over my shoulder and head out into the corridor with my wand in hand.

"Lumos" I say softly.

The top of my wand had a small glow ontop and I started to walk towards professors McGonagall office.

As I walked around the castle, something started to felt off, the castle was quiet, way too quiet...

I constantly checked behind me to make sure I wasn't being followed.

Feeling paranoid my head kept flicking backwards and to the left and right, but everytime i looked, nothing and no one was there. 

"You're fine, just keep your head and wand low," I tell myself.

After what felt like an eternity of walking I finally reached professor McGonagall's office and quietky whisper "Nox," turning my wand light off.

Before I could say the magic words 'Sherbet Lemons' to enter her office, I felt a cool hand wrap around my waist and mouth muffling the word.

My hand drops my wand and goes straight to the hand on my mouth, trying to tear it free off me.

I try to scream as loud as I can but the person's grip tightens on my waist and hand.

"Shut up, I don't want to hurt you," The boy said.

I still struggle, trying to break free of his death grip but with no success. 

He removes his hands from my mouth and waist only to grab my chin roughly and take his wand out and hold it hard against my temple.

"Shut up or I'll fucking kill you." He says calmly.

I look at the boy standing in front of me. He did look like someone who would kill me if I made a wrong move. He had a horizontal cut on his nose and had black, curly hair. A scar ran down past his left eye, from about a couple centimeters where his hair line is all the done past his mid cheek.

"W-Who are you?" I stumbled on my words as he squeezed my chin roughly.

He rolled his eyes and flipped me towards himself, my back was pressed up aginst his chest as he swung his left arm around my neck while his wand pressed under my chin.

Nothing stopped me though, I fought as hard as I could, I wrapped my hands around his forarm, scratching and even attempted to bite his arm but he was smarter, he had already put a protective charm around his body.

I looked around us as he continued to drag us out of the castle. It wasn't until I looked down on his arm did I notice that he bared the dark mark.

This boy was a death eater.

"You're a death eater?" I said outloud.

This caused the boy to stop, his arm loses around my neck allowing me to breath a little bit more.

"You don't know anything," He replied as he took off again, with me.

I planted my feet on the ground as hard as I could, I was supposed to be with Mcgonagall by now, surely she'd know that something wasn't right.

"Stop being so stubborn and get a move on!" 

I didn't listen and even attempted to scream just as he put a 'Muffliato' charm around us, making us silent to everyone and everything in out path way.

"Let me go!" I screamed.

The boy merely rolled his eyes as he let go of me breifly and bent down and trabbed my waist and hoistered me over his shoudler.

I squealed slightly in surprise as he begun to walk faster now that I wasn't slowing us down. I begun to struggle enough so that he would constantly have to stop or re-ajust his grip, trying to slow us down pretty much.

Before I knew it my hands had been bound together by an invisible band and pressed into his upper back. Then next came my legs as they were now bound together by the same invisible band that held my hands.

I gasp and start to look around me, we were going down some stairs and he looke dlike he was in a hurry.

I tried to squirm as much as I could to get him to stop but his arm only tighten around my back.

"Do you ever stop fucking moving?" he groaned in annoyance.

"Where are you taking me? Why me?" I questioned as I tried to turn around and get him to face me.

"Who are you?" 

"I'm a death eater according to you," he said.

He quickened his pace as he got to the doors in the court yard. He started making his way to Hagrid's place and that's when I screamed.

"HAGRID! HAGRID HELP ME!"

"Shut up will you? He can't hear you, everyone is asleep, I made sure of it," He said as he kept walking, straight past Hagrid's and into the dark forest.

I stopped screaming, not because of what he had said but because of the light that suddenly flickered on. The man stopped as he had realised it too.

Hagrid hut was lit.

And Hagrid had heard me.
