Paths collided - Mattheo Riddle x Reader

CHAPTER 3

October 1st 1996

It had been a couple of days since me and Mattheo got paired. He had been a pain in my ass so I had been avoiding him. The teachers tend to keep telling him off for not being with his buddy and since I'm on the quidditch team I get away saying I have practice.

It was morning and as the bell rang I made my way out of the hall. All of a sudden someone had a hold of my wrist, the one all bruised. I let out a small gasp of pain before turning around. It was Mattheo. I sighed and rolled my eyes. He looked down at my wrist and let go.

"Stop fucking leaving without me. Seriously it's getting annoying," he said as he watched as people passed by. As Mattheo was about to say something someone stood behind me. He looked at them.

"What?" I said as an arm draped over my shoulder. I looked up to see ginger hair and noticed it was Fred. I turned to Mattheo who was gritting his teeth.

"Y/n is walking with me. I decided I was going to drop her off to her lessons. Is that okay with you?" Fred said with a sarcastic tone. Mattheo crossed his arms.

"It isn't. I'm sick of teachers telling me to go find my buddy or else I have detention. Also, she kept disappearing when I got to the study hall. I can't study without a buddy so I would like my buddy," he said angrily as he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards him. I was standing in front of Mattheo way too close and I hated it.

"Nah mate you can deal with that on your own," Fred said as I turned around trying to walk back to him. Mattheo dragged me so my back was against his chest. He had a hold of my arm firmly so I could not move.

"Well I need to study so we are going," Mattheo said as he dragged me away. Fred tried to follow but was stopped by his buddy.

As Mattheo dragged me to the study hall, he pushed me through the doors and let go. "So aggressive for no reason," I said as I sat down on a desk. "I don't even need to study, I'm good at every subject we have."

Mattheo rolled his eyes and pulled out a book from his bag. "Professor Snape told me you had to help me with potions. He was going to talk to you about it but you walked away as he yelled your name."

I stared at Mattheo and remembered. "I ain't helping you for shit," I said with a laugh as I leaned back in my chair. Mattheo rolled his eyes and opened the book and wrote notes.

While he did what he was doing I messed around with the pens he put on the desk. "This is so boring. I'm finding Fred," I said as I started to pack my stuff up.

"No, you ain't. I need you to stay here so I can carry on studying," Mattheo said as he pulled me down to my chair. I rolled my eyes. "If you help me then maybe I'll be able to pass the test and you won't have to come here. You don't have to see my face longer every day than you need to."

"Fuck sake fine," I said with a sigh as I moved closer to him to look at the book in his hand.

After a while of trying to help a dumbass bitch he still didn't get it.

"Fuck sake what about this? What do you add to make this potion," I said as I pointed at a page in the book.

He leans back in his chair and groans, "This is dumb." I rolled my eyes.

"Just like you," I muttered under my breath. His eyes darted to mine and frowned.

"I ain't fucking dumb I'm just not good at potions," he said firmly. I rolled my eyes and let out a laugh.

"You sure? Pretty much means you're dumb at potions," I said as I turned to face him. He rolled his eyes.

"I ain't fucking dumb. At least I ain't a slut, especially for that guy. The ginger," he said but I cut him off.

"You mean Fred? He's my best friend. I ain't a slut. So stop acting like you are so much better. You seriously didn't get raised with manners and that shows," I said coldly. Mattheo scoffed.

"At least I was raised with a parent present. Where are yours? Oh right. 6 feet under," he said with a grin. I stared at him and my blood boiled.

"Don't fucking EVER mention my parents. At least my parents loved me. You were nothing but a mistake and your dad never loved you. Don't talk to me about my parents. You seriously need a reality check," I snapped back. He stared at me before standing up and pushing me off my chair. I fell backwards. Mattheo placed his shoe on my neck as I started to struggle to breathe.

"I am fucking loved. You don't know what love is so don't talk about my Dad like he isn't one. Your parents are dead and mine aren't. At least I have someone to go to when Hogwarts is over. You seriously should get a grip princess," he said. I pushed his shoes off my neck and stood up pushing him into books. He lets out a sharp gasp of pain.

"I had parents before your shitty dad killed them. You are just like your father and it shows, that's not a compliment. Go be a self-centred arsehole somewhere else," I said. I grabbed my bag and started to walk off.

"YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A FUCKING UNLOVABLE SLUT. GO FUCK THAT GINGER CUNT," he yelled. I ran back up to him and punched him in the eye. The one already with a black eye. He let out a loud groan before covering his eyes.

I walk away saying nothing and I slam the door shut. I walk towards the great hall. The only person there was Draco. I sat down on the Gryffindor table and felt someone join me. It was Draco.

"Hey, Babe I was wondering if you wanted to hang out later?" He said as his hand reached out for mine. I grabbed his hand back and hugged him.

"I've had a shit day," I said as he hugged me back. Draco kissed me on my head as he cupped my face with his hand.

"I'm sorry to hear that, we can go back to my dorm and just cuddle if you want?" he said with a small genuine smile. I nodded and he helped me up. I followed him to the Slytherin Common room and he snuck me up to his room. We laid in bed and cuddled for a bit.

I looked at Draco who placed me on top of him. He kissed me and I kissed back. His hand ran up and down my thigh before reaching the very end of my skirt. My hands moved to the back of his neck. Before Draco could do anything else someone started to bang on the door.

"DRACO LET ME IN," yelled the person on the other side of the door. Draco rolled his eyes and carried on kissing me. The person banged louder.

"Fuck sake," Draco said as he got up. He opened the door slightly so the person couldn't see me. "What's up Mattheo?"

"You know the one girl that you were trying to get in your bed? I wanna throw a party and invite everyone. So find that girl and maybe you can do what you planned," Mattheo said with a playful tone.

My face dropped and Draco's face turned into panic. "Oh uhm okay. I'll invite a couple of people," he said. Mattheo walked away and Draco slammed the door and turned to me. "Babe I promise it's not how it sounds. You know Mattheo chats shit. I love you and only you, okay? I was going to ask her to switch... buddies with me."

I stayed quiet before Draco cupped my face and kissed me. I kissed back and his hands moved down towards my lower back. He pulled away. "Does that mean you believe me?" I nodded and he pulled me back into a kiss.

CHEATER?!
