Mattheo Riddle - Born to die

Chapter 41: Mrs Riddle

The next day. Mattheo is wearing a nice suit and Michelle the green silk dress that Mattheo bought her a long time ago. They make their way to the Ministry to get married. Just the two of them, nobody else.
Mattheo looked nervous, but he also looked handsome and charming, wearing a suit.
"You look beautiful today, Michelle." His tone sounds excited as they walk together.
"This is it, Michelle, it's a big day for us... "
he looks at her with a big and sincere smile on his face.
"You look beautiful too." They hold their hands enter the secret entrance of the ministry. "I am nervous."
Mattheo smiles and looks at her. "Don't be nervous, Michelle. We are ready for this. We belong together, forever." he is trying to calm her down by caressing her hand.
"Don't worry, it'll be over quickly, and then we have an entire life ahead of us." his tone sounds very gentle towards her.
She nods, and they enter the ministry. It's a short wedding, just signing the papers. They don't do vows because there are no words to describe their love for each other.
They leave the ministry, and now their married. Michelle took the name of Mattheo, and her name is now Michelle Riddle.
Mattheo smiles from ear to ear as the two of them exit the ministry.

And when they take the train back to Hogwarts, Mattheo puts his arm around Michelle's shoulder and caresses her cheek.
"We are Mrs. and Mr. riddle now." he says while looking at the wedding ring on her finger.
"This is really one of the best days of my life." A sweet smile appears on his face as his eyes look at her with pure love.
"For me too. I am proud to wear your name now, " Mattheo chuckles.
"I like the sound of it. Michelle Riddle." he smiles warmly. "My wife." he says it as a statement. But not as if he is bragging or anything. Rather, as if he can't fully believe it yet. "Let's get home... I am tired, and my feet hurt." A playful grin appears on his face as he looks at her. She nods "Yes we share our name now. And we are bonded forever"
Mattheo smiles and hugs her tightly.

"Michelle, I promise you... for the rest of our lives, I will always take care of you. We are a team now, and we will always have each other's back." his tone sounds sincere and genuine. He means every word he has spoken until now when it comes to Michelle.
"I love you with all my heart, I want you to know that. You mean everything to me." His voice sounds very soft and sweet, not like a normal Mattheo-Riddle would say.
"This is our last year at hogwarts. Can you believe it? I mean, if we ignore the fact that Voldemort is after us. How do you see our future together?"
Mattheo chuckles despite the circumstances. But he is not afraid. He will not let Voldemort harm him or Michelle. He will protect her, that's for sure.
"When we finish Hogwarts, we will be able to live our lives in peace. Voldemort won't be able to harm us. And then we can start a family. If that is what you want." he looks serious. This is a subject that he has considered for a long time.
"What about you, Michelle? What do you want our future to be like?" his tone sounds considerate.
"You can imagine getting kids with me? For real?" She looks at him quite surprised.
Mattheo smiles softly and looks at me.
"Yes, Michelle. Why wouldn't I? We would make beautiful children." his tone sounds convincing. He has thought it through. He could imagine spending the rest of his life with Michelle. And he means every word he has just spoken.
"Poor Children. Part of the messy Riddle/Black Family." she jokes. Mattheo laughs.
"Our children wouldn't be that much of a mess like I am, and besides... they'd look like you, which wouldn't be too bad."
he caresses her hair gently. His touch is more loving than it was before when he was still single. "Do you still want to have kids?"
she laughs. "Maybe they just get the good parts of us. I can imagine kids with you. We can do everything together.. if we survive this war. " She takes his hand and kisses it gently while her face gets more concerning, and she looks at him with sad eyes.
Mattheo chuckles lightly. "I am sure they will get the best parts of us."
"But, Michelle... there is nothing to worry about. We will survive this war. We are a team. A family. We will stick together, and then Voldemort won't stand a chance." Mattheo is trying to reassure her, and the look on his face becomes more serious now.
"I know this might be tough, but I believe in us, Michelle. It's gonna be alright." he says soothingly.
"I trust you. But I am scared. Scared to lose you. Scared of losing the people we love. We already lost Sirius and..." she pauses, holding back her tears.
Mattheo wraps his arms around her and tries to hold her tight. He takes her head in his arms and caresses her hair gently, and tries to make her believe that everything will be alright.
"I know, Michelle... I know. We might end up losing some people... or even all of them. I am so sorry... for everything." he says sincerely, and he looks at her with a serious look. "But I promise you, whatever it takes, I will protect you always."
