In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 51

I stood there. Frozen in time. I couldn't move an inch, even if I wanted too.

All I saw was Harry staring back at me. Little did I know he was watching from the sidelines this whole time. The look on his face will forever be burned into my head.

I've never seen someone look so disgusted, so shocked in another person.

The death eaters had disappeared into the castle and it was just Harry and I up there.

I had the same look on my face, as did he.

"What did he ever do to you! Why did you just do that!" He screamed at me.

I couldn't answer. I was stuck.

"Amelia answer me!"

I couldn't.

He ran over to his dead body, and held him in his arms. He kept screaming at me for an answer. An answer he was never going to get.

Theo and Mattheo busted through the doors of his office, the looks on their face I can also add to my never forget list.

I watched as they scanned the balcony, looking at the lifeless body besides me, then bringing their eyes back up to me. I stood there, my wand on the floor next to me, my hands lifeless, my face whiter than a ghost. For a moment in time, I just existed. 

"Amelia! Amelia oh my god." Mattheo screamed as he ran up to me to hold me.

At his touch, I melted to the ground. A mess of screaming and hyperventilating.

Harry was still there, watching as these boys comforted a murderer.

"You never seen a thing!" Theo screamed at him.

"I should've known you two were involved!" He screamed back.

"Its not what you think Potter! She had no choice!" Mattheo screamed at him. "She had no choice" he whispered, while holding my head into his chest.

"Amelia, come on we have to leave." Theo said trying for force my self to my feet.

"Yeah! Just leave him here!" Harry screamed at the three of us.

"Do you want her to go to Azkaban?! I didn't fucking think so!" Theo screamed as he was still trying to get me up.

"My love, you have to move we have to go, now" Mattheo got tired of begging me to move, and finally lifted me off the ground.

I had not a single thought in my head. Not one. It was all blank. I still couldn't feel my body. Just it jumping up and down with every step Mattheo look.

We finally reached the common room and he placed me on the couch. We were met by Enzo and Regulus. I had no idea what time it was, just that it was the middle of the night.

The common room was empty, the only sounds to be heard was the crackling of the fire.

They all just stared at me. In disbelief that I actually went through with it.

 Shit. I was shocked too.

I sat there. My knees to my chest, zoomed out into the lake.

"he knew" I whispered.
