midnights. [Mattheo Riddle x reader]

~1~

The last few months in New Orleans were chaotic. First, I lost my best friend and aunt, Davina Claire, then my grandmothers' sister Dahlia tried to take me away from my family. Who does not want a powerful heretic on their side after all?

I used to attend Salvatore School for the young and gifted, but now my father Niklaus Mikaelson, and mother Hayley Marshall believes that I should transfer to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They think there I will be safe from Dahlia.

I am not too mad about all of this because I am joining my cousin Mathias Kol Mikaelson in the 6th year.

"Mathias, Y/n get your fucking ases downstairs before you are late for your plane to London" Uncle Kol shouted. "Kol, shout at my precious daughter again and you will die in three seconds," my dad said coming from another room.

"Hello love, where is your cousin?" he asked when he saw me coming downstairs. "He is getting ready like the diva he is," I said rolling my eyes. "Mathias!" this time my father shouted. "I'm coming, I'm coming," Matt said throwing his towel on the floor that he dried his hair moments ago.

We hugged, said our goodbyes to our family and went to the car in which Elijah and Rebekah took us to the airport. While driving Elijah said "Mathias, do not forget to take care of our sweet girl and get revenge on those, who hurt her", "I am capable of standing up for myself, Elijah" I stated with a smirk on my lips. "Of course, I will try to keep her out of trouble" Mathias laughed.

After a lengthy and exhausting trip to London, we eventually went to the platform and saw Hogwarts Express. Luckily, Mathias and I found one last empty compartment almost in the back of the train just for us.

It was a gloomy day, small raindrops fell on the train window. This type of weather is my favorite. We sat down and for most of the ride talked about Hogwarts and gossiped about the Mikaelsons drama. Soon I got bored because Mathias decided to take a nap, so I got out of our compartment.

On my way, I bumped into someone. My next move was from my instincts, so I pushed away that person and shouted "Watch where you going prick". He quickly pinned me to the wall next to us and said "Now, that is not a very nice way to talk to someone. I see we have a new girl this year at Hogwarts".

Somehow I recognized those brown curls and deep brown eyes, but I can not remember where from. It must be from photos that Mathias sent us through last school year.

"Be careful, you do not know who I am, sweetheart" he said with a little smirk looking straight into my eyes. "You do not know who I am either, darling" I whispered into his ear and left him standing there.

When I got back to our compartment, Mathias was still sound asleep. I nudged his shoulder and loudly said "Cousin dearest, put on your uniform we are almost here. When he left, I thought to myself "We're starting this year strongly".

The first years are almost done with the sorting ceremony and I felt anxiety rushing up my whole body. I heard my name being called "Y/n Hope Mikaelson!" and the huge Great Hall doors opened. I was mesmerized by how majestically this hall looked, I took a deep breath and started walking to the front. Everybody was whispering something about my family, but what did I expect, Mikaelsons were known all over the world.

The next thing I saw was Mathias. He mouthed me "I will see you at the Slytherin table" and winked at me. I just smiled at him.

Professor McGonagall smiled and said to sit on a stool, then placed the sorting hat on my head. It spoke "Aha another Mikaelson is joining us this year... let's see. She knows how to get what she wants, courageous and hardworking, of course, she is... also not stupid and ambitious, I know what will suit you the best." Then the sorting hat yelled out "Slytherin!".

The Slytherin table erupted into cheers and whistles, without a doubt my biggest support was Mathias.
