Matteo Riddle's View On Love

Part 4

A very special class with them

The memories of that perfect childhood summer was still at the forefront of his mind. You had made sure to give him the perfect summer he had always dreamed of. You had made sure to give him the perfect summer he had always dreamed of. You and him got to be actual children together. He knew he could be an ass, sarcastic and a wide range of other emotions. But, he took that vow of being your knight seriously. You were his princess. The idea of seeing you was more than enough to get him out of bed. He didn't find you in the breakfast hall so once he ate he quickly headed to class. If you weren't there then he was going to save you a seat. It was that time of that awkward one off class at hogwarts. Where you were forced with your other peers to learn about safe sex and contraception charms. Like the majority of you hadn't already learned them in your free time. Luckily you only take it once and not till you turn 18. The school wasn't stupid and they knew people were sneaking off. When caught you got detention and reprimanded. As you both very well know. Not that he was complaining that was for sure. Detention was amazing and so was the reason for why y'all got the detention in the first place. He would do it all over again if he knew it would produce the same results. You were heading to class walking around the corner when you hit a wall that shouldn't have been there. You go to look up hearing "Princess, if you wanted a hug you should've just asked." You look up smiling laughing a little bit, two could play that game. "I can promise that my hugs are a lot better than that. Tell me Matteo, are you a hugger?" He gave a goofy grin leaning against the wall looking down at you. "Oh I'm definitely a hugger, you offering?" You can't help but smile bigger, holding out your hands, "well come here then." He didn't hesitate to wrap his arms tightly around you. He hadn't actually hugged you in years upon years. You nuzzle your face into his chest, "well you definitely are a knight with cozy strong hugs like this." He laughed a little bit, rubbing your back slowly. "I see, so they make you feel safe then" You nod up at him regretfully pulling away from the hug "very safe but, I'm also a big hugger." With that you follow him in the classroom sitting down beside each other. He quickly whispers, "then let's promise to hug more princess." He winks giving that same goofy grin. Your heart flutters a little bit. Three witches/ wizards from St. Mungo's stand at the front of the classroom demanding attention. But yours was completely on the man beside you. Every now and then key words would be pointed out. This was information you had known for a while. Your parents had made sure of it. So focusing more on the man who kept calling you princess, a smile that made your stomach flutter and eyes that made you nearly drool was a much better option. It was entertaining because every now and then you would catch him staring just as hard at you. He would give a little wink before turning back towards the three people speaking. Your eyes zeroing in on his fingers. He had rings, and veins. They were strong and warm. They could bring bliss or pain. There was no question about if he knew just how to use them. The fact your mind was going this direction was probably a good sign that you were getting this refresher course even if you weren't fully paying attention. When it was time to split off he grabbed your hand shaking it. "Nope, I claimed you first. You are mine." You turn your head to the side, "You sure? I'm sure I could find a very lovely witch or wizard to practice with." His friendly demeanor quickly faded, holding on to you tighter. "Please don't be difficult, be my partner... cause the idea of anyone in this room using it on you but me is enough to drive me to a cell right next to my mother." You squeeze his hand tightly offering a smile, "Well we can't have that now can we?" He shakes his head now giving you the same squeeze, "We definitely can't." You give him a mischievous smile winking as you whisper, "plus we need to make sure we got this down right if we wanna use it one day." He didn't know he was a blushing man but as he felt the heat roll through his body focusing on his cheeks and neck. He knew you had done just that with your words. He nodded, quickly agreeing, losing his voice completely. You had stunned him to silence.
