I climbed off the train with my trunk floating behind me. Immediately four or five bodyguards surrounded me. Ostensibly they were for my protection. Apparently someone had been seen ding violent threats to my father. I knew better. They were here to make sure I stayed in line.
Feeling vindictive I purposely made them wait while I took photo's of the Hogwarts Express to post. After about 15 minutes one of them spoke. "Sir we have to get you home soon." I rolled my eyes. Normally this would signal the end of my freedom and I'd be left to rot but not this time. Just one day, I told myself as the black jackets escorted me out of the train station. I caught Enzo smirking at me and gave him the middle finger before we got to the point where we could take a portkey. Black Jacket 1 pulled out a non-descript watch and handed it to me. I hissed in parseltongue, "Riddle Manor" and was un ceremoniously dumped into the living room. Tom, the bastard, looks at me smugly from the sofa. "Oh dear, still haven't gotten the hang of it, have we?"
I give him the middle finger as well and storm off to my room, my cheeks burning in humiliation. Bastard. Just because he was born bloody perfect doesn't mean we all were. I slammed my door shut and collapsed onto my bed.

TheRealTheoRiddle: Until September!
EnzotheBenzHoe: Finally a break from studying. Whoever decided OWLs were a good idea?
User 1: TheRealTheoRiddle What are your comments on the recent allegations made by Pansy Parkinson and Amelia Abernathy?
User 2: You asshole how could you cheat on them like that???
User 3: Damn leave the guy alone would you? Why are you getting involved?
I rolled my eyes. No matter what I said it was going to backfire. Might as well let them believe the lie. There was a knock on my door and i sat up shocked as my father entered the room. He took a look around, taking in the mess and his face morphed into the standard expression of disapproval he always wore around me.
His disappointment had long since stopped bothering me. "Mattheo. I hope you have the sense to know this already but when you are in New York you will be on your best behaviour. The consequences if you put even a toe out of line will be thoroughly unpleasant. Is that clear?" I nodded, scoffing internally. As if.
Father left and I flopped back down onto the bed, releasing an exhausted sigh. I switched the light off with a flick of my hand and decided to go to sleep. I would be up ridiculously early tomorrow morning but whatever.
