Mattheo pov

The morning

I started to wake up in y/n bed. I put my arm out to bring her closer to me, but to my surprise, she wasn't there. I opened my eyes to the empty space that she was sleeping last night. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I stretched my arms and yawned. All of a sudden, Pansy barged into the room.

"Oh, morning," she said in shock that I was there

"Morning," I said, trying not to yawn again

"Where's y/n?" She said, looking around the room and bathroom

"I don't know." I looked around and found a note on the table.

I opened it up and read that she was spending the day with her brother, so she'll be back later

"She's with Harry," I said, holding up the note

I stood up and started to walk to where my clothes were on the floor when the door flew open.

"Riddle. Parkinson we need to go now," Theo said with urgency in his tone. He turned back towards the door but then shot back around

He started pointing at the both of us with a smug face.

"Don't be gross, Nott." I said, getting dressed.

"Just wanted to know," He said

"You really think that I would sleep with Dracos girl behind his back in the same room as my girl?" I stopped and bit my lip

"Your girl?" Theo said, trying to hold back a smile

I tried to continue getting ready and ignore what I just said, but I knew Pansy and Theo were mouthing to each other.

"I knew you fell for her," Pansy said, trying to hold back her excited

"As much as I like y/n company, she is still my misson. Can we hold back the excitement and smug faces? " I said, annoyed

They nodded but bit their lips. I shook my head at them as I walked past.

"Come on, best not keep my father waiting."

We arrived at Malfoy Manor to a table full of death eaters and the gang all here. I took my seat next to my father.

"Lucius, Bellatrix and Riddle. You and a few loyal followers are going to the ministry to retrieve the prophecy from Harry, "

I nodded my head, but the sudden realisation that y/n would be there brought panic to my face. They wouldn't care if she got hurt or killed.

"Mattheo," my father said, looking down at me

"Yes, my lord," I said, keeping my head down

"You have proven yourself worthy of this over the last few months." He stood up and walked beside me, "lift up your sleeve."

My eyes went wide as I knew what was about to happen.

"Father. I've still got so much to prove." I said wearily

"Yiu have but consider this as a token of my appreciation"

He got out his wand and started marking the dark mark on my arm. The pain was unreal, but I kept my head down and still as possible to mask it.

Once it was done, I rolled my sleeve down, and me and the death eaters headed towards the ministry.

"So you're officially one of us. How will your little girlfriend take that news?" Lucius said with a huge smirk on his face

I turned and looked at him with my death eyes

"You threatening me? If I were you, I wouldn't do that. You don't know half the things I am capable of"

"Vice versa, Mr Riddle," He said in a smug like tone

We were stopped from talking when Bellatrix said "Right they're over there. Get ready now. "

We all got our cloaks and masks on before splitting up and surrounding the group. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, hoping that y/n wasn't there.

As I walked closer, of course, she was standing right in front of me. Her eyes looked dark like she was ready to fight, but also by her movements, you could tell she was a little scared.

Lucius was chatting shit and trying to bargain with Harry over this stupid prophecy

I was frozen looking at y/n and trying to protect her from what was about to happen.

Suddenly, I was snapped back when I heard Lucius say my name. That dickhead he just couldn't let me be.

He knew he wanted to get back at me for what I said and he knew what would hurt my relationship the most.

"Show them"

I lifted up my sleeve to much resistance that I could.

I looked over at y/n to see that her eyes went all watery and he hands were shaking. She was also walking backwards slowly like I was a mad man.

"Princess," I said, no louder than a whisper.

She spat out, "Don't call me that ever again."

I felt my heart breaking. I've never loved something or someone before y/n, and seeing her truly hate me.

She started off as my mission, but I can't imagine life without her.

Will I ever earn her trust, or will she feel forever betrayed.
