Safe- Mattheo Riddle

Parents

Aurora

I woke up still in Theo's bed, I sat up slowly and looked down at the floor to my right, to see Theo asleep with a blanket and a pillow. It warmed my heart that my boys cared about me enough to sleep on the floor, so they didn't have to disturb me.

As I looked across at Mattheo's bed, he was already sat up in bed staring at me with a smile on his face. I climbed out of the bed quietly, trying not to wake Theo or Draco up. Once I reached the side of his bed, he opened up his arms, inviting me to lie on his chest.

"Good morning darling" god his morning voice was so sexy.

"My morning voice is sexy, huh?" He said with a smirk.

"Get out of my head!" I said with a laugh and threw a light punch at his arm.

"Aurora, I let you sleep in my bed, the least you could do is be quiet when I'm sleeping" Theo said in a groggy voice.

"Thank you for doing that for me Theo, you could of just woke me up"

"Yeah well, you looked comfy" he said with a shrug.

I smiled widely at him and as I was about to speak again, there was a light tapping on the window. I furrowed my eyebrows and watched as Theo stood up and opened it. It was my owl, holding a letter in its beak.

"Aurora, it's for you" Theo said and walked across the room handing it to me.

I turned it over to see the Decampo family crest on the seal. I sighed loudly.

"What is it darling?" Mattheo asked as he drew circles on the skin of my thigh.

"It's from my parents" I said quietly and both of the boys eyes widened.

"Guys it's probably nothing" I said casually.

"Aurora, they haven't wrote to you since Mattheo's daddy died and they had to ask you to help them avoid Azkaban" Theo said loudly.

"Ugh can you shut.up." Draco snapped before rolling over and pulling his pillow over his face.

I rolled my eyes "he's right Aurora, it can't be just to check in" Mattheo agreed with Theo.

"Fine, I'll open it. Just to prove to you that it's nothing" I ripped the seal open and unfolded the letter....

Dearest daughter,

It's been a long time,
we are writing to you to request your presence at a family meeting this coming Friday. Attendance is not an option, you shall attend and be well mannered and respectful. Otherwise you shall deal with the consequences.

You shall wear the dress that will arrive with you Thursday evening. Feel free to bring along a friend. Pureblood only.

Yours sincerely,

Mr&Mrs Decampo.

"Well fuck" I dragged my hands over my face.

"Okay, so in your family what does family meeting mean? Because obviously in mine, it meant my father torturing people" Mattheo asked

"Well in my family it usually means they want something and by the sounds of it, they are throwing a ball and having the meeting during it, so that they don't draw any attention to themselves" I grabbed the letter and ripped it in half.

"So, which one of us dashing lads are you going to take with you" Theo said as he winked at me.

"Well, unfortunately Mattheo, it did say Purebloods only" I said with a sympathetic smile.

"Oh yeah, as if they'd dare to do anything to the dark lords son" he rolled his eyes at me.

"How about I take you both? I mean what are they going to do about it" I said with a shrug

"Uhhh I don't know, make you face the consequences?" Theo said as if it was obvious.

"No as long as I am well mannered and respectful, there won't be any problems"

"Well then, both of us will come then" Mattheo said with a smile.

"Make that three" we all turned to look at Draco, who was now sat up in bed, hair sticking up all over the place.

I smiled at my three boys and I knew that no matter what they'd always be there to protect me. They'd become my family now. Blood really meant nothing to me anymore, water was indeed thicker to me.

I thanked Merlin for them everyday, because without them I'd surely be alone. They pulled me out of the darkest places and saved me from myself.

Whatever it was that my parents wanted from me, I knew my boys would die before they let it happen. Mattheo would kill anyone who tried to touch me, Theo would hold my hand and walk me through the darkness and Draco would make everyone who ever treated me wrong live a life in hell.

My boys, there to keep me safe until the end of time.

Authors note
(813 words) this is a shorter chapter, but it's just because I want to start the ball with Aurora's parents in a fresh chapter.
