Safe- Mattheo Riddle

My love

Aurora

After staying in Theo's arms for 20 minutes, I asked him if he could ask Mattheo to come here and talk to me. He simply nodded his head with a smile and placed one final kiss to my head before disappearing down the stairs.

I walked towards the railing of the tower and looked out over the view. I couldn't believe in a matter of 2 months we would all be leaving this place. I'd never be able to come up here again.

This spot reminded me of my first moment of weakness with Mattheo. The first night back at school, after I'd beat the shit out of pansy. I let a small chuckle pass through my lips.

"You definitely just thought about when you beat Parkinson to a pulp" I spun around on my spot to see Mattheo smiling at me, his hands in his pockets.

"Matter of fact, yes I did" I turned my gaze back to the view and felt his presence beside me.

"Mattheo, you have to be sure that you want to do this. With me, with Theo" I spoke softly.

"Darling, I'd only ever want to do this with you" I looked at him, to find his eyes already on me. I took a step closer to him. He pulled his hands from his pockets and rested them on my hips.

"It's not going to be easy"

"When has it ever been easy darling" he said with a smirk in his voice.

"Ahh taking my words now are you?" I quipped back.

"Yeah well, you're one of a kind Aurora" he leant down and gently pressed his lips against mine, when he pulled away I wrapped my arms around his body and led my head against his chest.

We spent an hour, stood in the same spot, watching the sunset over Hogwarts. Leaving the tower felt bittersweet, this had become our spot and I knew we probably wouldn't get the chance to be here like this again. Walking back through the corridor, Mattheo informed me that Theo had told him about us all living together and he said he thought it was a great idea.

"Want to come back to our dorm?" Mattheo asked brushing my hair behind my ear.

"No, I think I should go and tell the girls everything. They're going to be wondering where I've been" I smiled brightly at him.

"Okay well, remember, if you need anything get the girls to come and get me or Theo"

"Of course" I stood onto my tip toes and pressed a kiss to his lips and then turned around to walk up the stairs.

When I pushed open the door to the room, I was only met with pansy.

"Aurora! Oh my gosh!" She jumped off her bed and ran over to me, wrapping her arms around me.

"Hey pans" I said with a giggle.

"Are you okay? Where have you been?"

"I'm going to tell you everything, let's sit down" we climbed onto her bed and I told her everything. My parent's letter, the ball, the marriage, me and Theo living together. I left the detail of me being pregnant until last.

"Oh wow, that was a lot" pansy said with a sigh.

"I know but there's one more thing..." I stood up in front of her and pulled up my shirt. Placing my hands over my lower stomach.

Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open.

"Oh my god! You're pregnant?!" Once again her arms were wrapped tightly around my body.

"Oh Aurora, wait, so it's Theo's?! What-I, and Mattheo is okay with it?"

"Well he wasn't at first, simply because we didn't tell him straight away but now we've all decided to make it work. We are going to live together in mine and Theo's manor after we leave school" I smiled brightly at her.

"That's amazing, I'm so happy for you. Oh my goodness" she laughed.

"Well that's one out of three, where are Daphne and Astoria by the way?" I tilted my head to side curiously.

"About that, we sort of all drifted apart once you were gone. We are still friends but I don't see them as much anymore, only in class and at meals" she had a small smile resting on her face.

"Well it's a good thing I'm back isn't it" she nodded at my words. "Let's get into bed and have some much needed girl talk. I've been around boys for way too long" I laughed.

We spent the evening doing just that, huddled together under my duvet. With face masks on, talking about everything and anything. It felt amazing to be doing something normal, I felt like a teenager again. No worries or cares, if even just for a little while.

Once we'd realised how late it was, pansy climbed out from my bed, into her own.

"Goodnight Aur" she said sweetly.

"Goodnight Pans".

I slid myself down under the quilt and closed my eyes. Letting out a deep breath. I knew that things were about to change and the time would soon come that nights like these were rare. So I soaked in every minute, letting myself fall into a peaceful sleep.

Authors note
(872 words) a slightly shorter chapter. It's kind of just a filler. But it still warms my heart a little bit.
