My legs ached from walking from class to class. Eventually they found rest as I opened the door to the common room. It was later than usual, most of us had ventured off to our rooms for the night but I had just gotten back. My one hour study session turned out to be four, no work done except for the work I dreamed about.

The common room sat eerily quiet, no more than usual though, as I walked towards the doors to where for out individual rooms.

"Have a nice nap?" I whipped my head around towards the voice. My eyes squinted in the dark light and thats when I noticed Mattheo.

"I mean I get you need you beauty sleep, but damn princesses" I threw my head back in laughter at this amazing boy who stood in front of me.

"Well if it makes you feel any better I didn't mean to fall asleep" I bounced back as I slipped off my jacket. The weight of the thick flannel feeling heavier than usual, definitely tired I thought.

"Mm? No not really I still feel the same" He said grinning as he approached me. He gently took the jacket from its previous space over my arm and I nodded him a silent thanks. "So I received a letter from a certain someone" He said gritting out, but I already knew who it was. His father never left him alone long enough for Mattheo to take a full breath, he always had something to critique about this boy.

I turned my head towards his and raised a single brow. "And what has the wretched man said this time? He really needs to get more creative"

He took a deep breath in. "My father is very keen on meeting you" He exhaled once then took another breath in.  I mumbled a quiet surprise in response. He told me all about his dad and everything that had been happening a couple months after we started dating. Mattheo had thought that it was all ridiculous and that torturing innocent's because of their blood was foul, and I couldn't agree more.

He was so scared when he told me, it was one of the worst moments of my life as I watched his hands shake while he tried to cup my face. When he told me that it would be okay if I left, if I just got up and never came back, that he would understand. He didn't stop shaking or fidgeting until hours past our conversation when I told him that we are not our parents and that I am here because I feel in love with him, not his dads agenda. Even with being together for almost two years I had never been to his house, over the summer we always went to mine considering my mother was always out travelling for work or with friends. I wasn't even sure she knew that I even had a boyfriend because when I went home last summer I found all my letters still sealed sitting on her desk.

"I'm free this weekend we can always make a trip, just for the night ya know?" He shook his head. "No" He said, "I don't want you to think that you have to meet him. I don't even really want you to" He finished.

I let my arm slip through his as he slowed his pace with mine. "I know, but if we have dinner with him just this once then he will leave you alone" I said with a pleading tone in my voice. I knew the amount of letters he was getting was overwhelming him, and he could only postpone this meeting so many times.

"Yeah, I guess your right" He gave a sigh of relief. "But listen to me, okay angel?" I nodded my head yes. "As soon as your uncomfortable, or scared, or even if your bored we leave. Don't go into family stuff, he doesn't need to know anything more than what i've told him"

My eyes softened at the boy in front of me. as he went through all the precautions. "and just because your a pure blood does not make this any safer, I don't see why he wouldn't question you the same way"

My hands cupped his neck and I whispered a soft okay before I leaned up on my tippy toes and planted a soft kiss on his lips. He closed his eyes and planted another one on me. "I'll have another one sent out by tonight then" He rasped out, clearly still having a mental battle with himself. "Lets head to bed alright?" He shook his head up and down and I grabbed his hand and led him towards my room.
