War, Love, and Riddle //Mattheo Riddle x OC

Chapter Nineteen - Unmentionable Magic

Emma felt the burning in her pocket, like the letter Dumbledore left her was somehow calling to her. A siren song telling her to read it. She was still angry with him, angry that all she was left was a letter. She looked next to her on the bed, Mattheo was sleeping his chest rising and falling softly. His head was resting on one of his arms, the other arm wrapped around her waist.

She carefully reached down to her sweater that was tossed to the ground thanks to Mattheo. Her fingers fumbling for a moment trying to find the paper, she hears the crinkle helping her locate the letter.  Laying back down in bed, Mattheo's arm tightens on her even deep in sleep he couldn't keep his hands off her. Carefully without waking him she pulls her wand from under her pillow, the tip lights like a reading lamp as she quietly opens the letter, Dumbledore's handwriting staring back at her.

My dearest Emma,

                 Ive had the pleasure of watching some of the most astonishing witches and wizards grow in my time here at Hogwarts. You must know the greatest pleasure I have witness is watching you grow into the most extraordinary witch that will ever walk the halls of Hogwarts. You are gifted beyond comprehension, my girl. I knew it the moment I met you all those years ago. There are no accidents in this life, Harry's wand was meant for him and you were meant to save us. You have all the power deep inside you, a well of unmentionable magic. A magic that will aid you in your journey. Find Ellery Evergold in Tinworth. She will be expecting you. Time is of the essence, Emma. You are running out of it.

You hold the power to right this world once and for all.

                                                                                                                                         Dumbledore

Emma felt the hot tears falling from her cheeks. The sobs that escaped her caused her body to shake violently. Mattheo woke with a startle as he wrapped her up in his arms pulling her to his chest. When she finally calmed down he leaned back, the moonlight casting a small glow on her beautiful tear stained face. "What's wrong?" his voice full of concern.

She handed him a piece of paper, he looked down taking it from her hands. He felt under his pillow for his wand casting lumos. He began reading the letter Dumbledore left her, his eyebrows pinching in deep thought. He was annoyed with how vague Dumbledore was about this unmentionable magic hidden in Emma.

He looked up at her "We have to find Ellery Evergold."

Her dark raven strands bounce as she nods her head, "tomorrow." She answers him.

The next morning Emma told the golden trio that Dumbledore has advised her to find something that might help their efforts. She explained that time was of the essence and they must leave today. Harry didn't like this plan, didn't like them splitting up. He wasn't sure they could go to the ministry without Emma.....and as much as it pains him to say this Mattheo too.

Harry wasn't an idiot he knew how brilliantly talented Riddle is. In fact it was one of the many reasons Harry couldn't stand him and slightly feared him. It shouldn't have been shocking to him that not only would Mattheo Riddle be drawn to his sister who was more brilliantly talented than Riddle but for her to be drawn to him as well. It was sickening to believe that it was possible fate that they found each other. Which only angered Harry more.

The twins hugged telling each other to be careful before the pairs went their separate ways. For the first time since they left Hogwarts the twins were separated. Emma tried not to worry about the dangers her brother and friends were about to face, but instead focused on what Ellery Evergold knew.
