Betrayal - Mattheo Riddle

Chapter 20

"Draco?"

"Y/n. Come down here now, "

I quickly put on a hoodie and some slippers and made my way down the stairs. Going quickly but quietly. Why do stairs creak so loud at night.

I found myself in the kitchen heading towards the back door.

"Going somewhere?" I deep voice came from the other side of the kitchen.

"Fuck me" I slapped my hand across my chest to reveal my heart beating fast. "I'm just going out for fresh air," I said, turning around.

"I thought you quit," Fred said with a tilted head and raised eyebrows

"Well, things have got very stressful lately, so I just need one every now and again,"

"Ok," He said with a strug "night." And he made his way out of the kitchen.

I inhaled and exhaled deeply before opening the door.

I walked around the side of the building where I saw Draco standing beside a tree just a little down from the house. I ran towards him.

"Draco, what is merlins name you doing here?"

"For once in your life y/n I need you to just listen and not talk," He said, snappy

I nodded my head. It seems that talking is out of the question.

"I thought you would come if you knew Mattheo was inviting you."

I stood there and stared at him. I couldn't help it. I try not to talk, but

"So you sent me that letter?"

"Yes."

"But, I don't quite understand how do you know where I am and the nickname Riddle uses for me?"

"Y/n I can't answer your first question, but the second one, do you really want to know the answer?" He said with a smirk and raised eyebrows.

Great, he has probably heard us having sex.

"Riddle really needs to learn how to put a spell on his room." he eyes shot up and stared at me. "Oh my god. You. Were. The. Girl. I. Heard. The. First. Time." His eyes went wide.
"We were laughing about it together,"

"Draco, you're getting off topic. Why are you here?" I said in a snappy tone. I was cold and also massively trying to change the subject.

"Oh yes. Speaking of Riddle. We've just had our death eaters meeting."

"I'm sorry, what? Are you a death eater?"

"Oh, I thought you knew? Everyone is."

"What do you mean, everyone?"

"Theo, Enzo, Pansy, Blaise, Mattheo, and myself."

I was shocked I knew their parents or families were connected with Lord Voldermout, but I didn't think any of them were death eaters yet. I wonder if they have the tattoo, and I've just been completely blind to notice them.

He continued and said, "Without the tattoos, we have to earn them."

I said with a stern look on my face. " I wonder what you've got to do to earn that." I rolled my eyes

"Anyway y/n I'm breaking every single rule to be here, so just give me your full attention for one minute."

I nodded again

"We have just had our death eaters meeting, and everyone was there. I found out some information, but I can't tell you. All I'm going to say is don't trust Mattheo."

And with that, he evaporated.

I just stood there in the cold and darkness thinking to myself. Wow, are we both doing the exact same thing. Getting close to find out more information.

I quickly ran inside and tiptoed my way to the bedroom. I locked the door and lay on my bed.

I dont think I can do this anymore. It was meant to be some harmless flirting to try and get information, but now it's a need to know/ Lord Voldermout knows what Mattheo is doing.

I try and shut my eyes to get some sleep.

I was slowly opening my eyes to the sunrise, hitting my room and making it glow in a lovely orange colour.

All of a sudden, my door was swing open, and someone ran in and jumped on my bed. I groaned a little.

"Merry Christmas y/n" Ginny shouted, shaking me up and down. She quickly jumped off the bed and ran downstairs.

I yawned and stretched. I slowly sat up and looked around. I picked out some warm clothes and headed downstairs where everyone was opening presents.

Every year, I don't expect anything, so I head towards the kitchen to make myself a coffee.

"Y/n dearest. Merry Christmas, " Molly said as she handed me a present.

"Thank you." I gave her a hug and opened the present.

It was a lovely hand knitted jumper with thick green and black stripes going across.

"Oh my word, I love it!" I shouted, which brought Molly to a huge smile.

I quickly took off my top and put the jumper on it fitted me perfectly and it was so warm.

I gave Molly a huge hug again, and she went back to the main room while I finished off my coffee.

"Merry Christmas y/n" Harry said from the doorway

"Merry Christmas, Harry."

We agreed years ago that we wouldn't buy each other presents. Just us spending more time together was a promise, but I feel like this year will be different.

He handed me a box.

"I thought we weren't doing gifts," I said

"We aren't. This was underneath the tree for you. "

I looked down at the box and saw the label. Just my name. Harry stands watching me.

"Thank you," I said as I grabbed my coffee and walked towards my bedroom.

I sat down on my bed and placed my coffee on the bedside cabinet. Who could this be from.

I opened the box to find a pair of green stud earrings. Wow, they are beautiful. As I pulled them out, a little folded note fell out it said:

Just for my princess
