The Riddles

I was too far away so I moved closer and hid behind a pillar to see what Matteo and that other person/thing were talking about.

"She's too young to receive a mark." Matteo said.

"But she's powerful. She'd be a great asset." An unknown voice spoke.

"Yes but she's not even 16 yet. Your just going to take her childhood away?" Matteo spoke.

"My boy, she doesn't have anything to lose. She'll help us. She'll help up with our plan to kill Potter." The unknown voice spoke.

"She doesn't even know you. She hasn't met you." Matteo's said.

"She will on the day she gets her mark." The unknown voice said. This can't be about me right?

"We'll discuss this more another day. Just please, reconsider it." Matteo said.

"I won't my boy. It's what's best for us and for her." The unknown voice said. That person/thing just apperated and Matteo was left alone.

I walked towards him acting like I never heard any of that.

"Oh, Matteo. What are you doing up still?" I asked.

"Oh, Y/N. Hi. Uhm I couldn't sleep so I went on a walk. Why are you still up?" He asked.

"I was just making my way back to the dorm. I brought Hermione back to her room first." I said.

"Oh right. Well let's head back." He said.

"Alright." I responded.

"Did you enjoy yourself?" Matteo asked me.

"I did, thanks and just for your information, Cedric treated me very well." I said.

"Good. As long as you were safe and you were enjoying yourself that's all I care about." He said.

"Has uhm, dad got back to you yet? You know about me meeting him?" I asked.

"Uhm, yeah. He did. He says he will write to you when he wants to see you." Matteo answered.

"Yay! I can finally meet him. You're still coming with me, aren't you?" I asked.

"Yeah. I am." He responded.

We arrived at the common room. We walked in and Matteo went and sat down on the couch.

"You not going to bed?" I asked.

"No. I'm still not tired." He replied.

"Okay. Make sure you get some sleep." I said.

"I will." He said

"Good. Well goodnight." I said yawning.

"Goodnight Y/N." He responded.

I walked into my room and Astoria was sleeping. Her side of the dorm was a pigsty. Her clothes were scattered all across the floor, everything was just lying around. I went into the bathroom and that was a tip too. She might as well of had a party in here it's that messy. I got myself washed up and got ready for bed. I came out the bathroom in my pajamas and put my clothes away (unlike Astoria) and went to bed.

I woke up the next morning really tired. That night had ruined me. I'm so happy it's a Saturday. I can relax and let my body recover from last night.

I got dressed and quietly went downstairs and headed to the great hall for breakfast. The halls were empty. Everyone must be drained from the ball.
