The next morning was soon upon me as I woke up next to Mattheo cuddled up on my single bed. I looked around the room to see that Pansy bed was untouched. Must have stayed at Dracos.

I quietly got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom to get ready. I did my hair and makeup before going to my wardrobe to pick out some jeans and a lightweight jumper.

Mattheo was still sleeping, and I didn't want to disturb him. I got out a piece of parchment and wrote him a quick note saying I was spending the day with my brother and I'll see him when I returned later on.

I left the note on my bedside table and looked at him one last time before leaving my room.

I headed down the winding hallways to eventually get to the wooden bridge. There stood Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, and Neville.

"Morning," I said cheerfully

"Y/n. This is the plan. " Talk about getting straight to business, but my brother has always been like that.

"We are going to seek into the ministry, and according to my visions, I'll be able to guide us to the location of the prophecy"

I nodded but bit my lip to stop me from saying something about his plan.

"Let's hear it," He said in an annoyed tone, knowing full well I'll have questions

"Just one thing," I said with a concerned look

"How are we going to get there undetected? We can't go by floo or brooms?"

"Simple you see," Luna pipes up. "We take the Thestrals,"

I smiled at her as she said it like it was the most obvious thing.

"What are we waiting for?"

I said, walking towards the forbidden forest.

Once we got to them, we flew in the air. It felt amazing. I've never been on an animal that could fly before.

In a flash, we were at the ministry. We dodged around different corners and people until we got to the room.

We all followed Harry with lumos on our wands, looking at all the different prophecies.

"Here," Harry pointed to one that was just above his head. The tag that was attached said his name.

He reached for it, and we all looked in awe as it lit up with his touch. Soon, we heard footsteps.

"Mr Potter. I'll be taking that, " a death eater said

We looked around, and we were surrounded by death eaters with their masks on. We all huddled together and pointed our wands around us, covering each other's backs.

He revealed his face. Mr Malfoy.

"Hand it over now,"

"No," Harry said sternly

A crackle of laughter came from behind Malfoy.

"He knows how to play. Itty. Bitty. Baby. Potter"

I recognise that face from anywhere. It's Bellatrix. Sirus cousin.

"Bellatrix Lestrange" Neville voice came out all wobbly

She just laughed at him.

"Now, give me the prophecy." He voice was more stern

"You'll never get this,"

He laughed "Mattheo get the prophecy."

My stomach dropped, and my heart started beating fast. As I saw the masked death eater in front of me, step forward.

He moved his wand over his mask to reveal his face. I couldn't take my eyes off him.

"Harry, give me the prophecy." He was looking at Harry straight in the eyes, not even acknowledging me.

"No."

"FOR FUCK SAKE HARRY GIVE MT THE PROPHECY" His words came out like fire, no remorse.

I jumped slightly at his actions before getting the courage to speak up.

"Mattheo, you don't have to do this."

The first time, he's made eye contact with you. You stare into those brown eyes, and you can tell they are full of sadness.

"Ahhh, this must be y/n Potter. Mattheo little girlfriend, " Bellatrix said in a childish voice

My eye turned to her, and all I saw was red.

"What's it to you?"

She laughed

"No wonder you got on with her. Pitty, you're on the wrong side" she then turned to Mattheo "Did you tell her yet?"

Mattheo looked down as a swung my head to him.

"Tell me what?"

He didn't look up not even a little bit.

"Tell me what Matty?" I said a little louder

He shut his eyes before taking a deep breath and lifting his head.

"Show them" Lucius spat out

Mattheo then pulled his sleeve up to reveal the dark mark on his forearm.

Tears started to fill my eyes as I could feel my heart breaking. This was it. We have gone too far. We are enemies. And nothing will change that.

"Princess," He said just above a whisper

"Don't you ever call me that again." I felt some of the tears escape my eyes, but I wiped them away like they were nothing

"Now. Stupefy, " Harry shouted towards Malfoy

All of us shouted Stupefy and started to run.
