In the Shadows (Mattheo Riddle)

chapter 58

In the moment, everything moved in slow motion. The moment she let me go, I seen Mattheo throw a wink at me.

As I ran to him, I saw Theo mouth "duck" to me. And I did just that.

We may be a group of stupid kids, but I trust these boys with my life.

I took the floor, just as I was ordered and in the same second, Enzo casted a spell that made the foundation of the courtyard collapse.

A wave of dust took over the yard, I felt someone grab my arm. I couldn't help but tense up.

"RUN! NOW! ITS ME!" Thank merlin it was him.

We ran, to where I had no idea, I couldn't see through the dust and the rubble. The boys followed quickly behind us.

We turned a corner, into the castle.

He grabbed my face and squeezed it tight. "i was so fucking scared" he shook me.

"Im okay I promise im okay!" I shouted back.

I needed to know our next move, how the fuck were we going to get out of this?

Potter turned the corner, "Is it done?" He asked Mattheo.

He nodded back to him.

They explained to me that they had spoke to him, came up with a plan together. That we were all going to take him down together. Harry, Ron and Hermione knew more than we did, they knew everything we needed to know.

They explain to me what horcrux's were. How many there were, and how many were left.

There was only one. The snake.

I couldn't help but wonder how long I had been knocked out, that there was only one remaining.

Just then the corridor we occupied was taken over by death eaters.

We didn't waste a second. Crouching behind rocks, casting hexes. Not normal hexes. Hexes that could kill. Unforgivable's. Mattheo and I took to a back corridor, while the boys stayed to fight them off.

We knew we had to find the snake. Once we found the snake, harry was in the clear to take him down. Once and for all.

There wasn't a moment of not moving, not killing someone. The faces I seen, of my peers laying lifeless, is something I will never forget.

All I wanted to do was tell Mattheo everything will be okay, and well make it out of here, but we didn't stop. I seen the pure panic on his face, I knew he needed to hear it.

As we were running down a corridor, casting a spell at some troll looking creature mattheo was grabbed.

I turned around and it was by one but his father himself.

"You kids never learn." He spat at us.

I watched Mattheos body wiggle, trying to escape.

I had my wand drawn at him.

Never breaking eye contact with Mattheo.

His father tried to throw a hex at me, when it rebounded. Forcing him to drop Mattheo. And thats when I realized.

He was trying to use the elder wand, the most powerful wand in the world.

But it didn't belong to him, he thought it did because he had disarmed it from someone else.

But this wand didn't work like that.

The elder wand belongs to whoever killed its last owner.

It belonged to me.
