It was a lovely spring day. The sun was shining through the trees as I walked to hogsmeade. I could have flown here or took the floo flame, but something in me just wanted to walk.
"Y/n, right?" A voice came from the side of me
"Yes, and you are?" I looked at this person who I don't recognise. Might be a Hufflepuff?
"Oh yeah, I'm Diggory. Cedric Diggory."
"Nice to meet you." I continued to walk
"Where you going?"
"Just for a coffee with a friend,"
"Well, if you're free afterwards fancy a few Butterbeers in the three broomsticks?"
I looked at this boy. Scanning him. He seems nice and doesn't lack confidence. He also doesn't give me the creeps like the griffindor boy dose.
"You're on."
"See you then y/n"
I smiled at him before turning off into the café
Mattheo sat in the back with two cups on the table.
"Morning."
"Morning Princess"
I shook my head and sat down.
He let out a chuckle. "How could I already mess up?"
"You called me that name,"
"But that's your name to me,"
"Well, I don't like it anymore, Mattheo."
"You will eventually,"
I took a slip of my coffee before trying to think of how to start this conversation off. I got distracted. He was looking at me with those eyes. Like he was undressing me with them.
"Stop looking at me with those eyes,"
"What do you mean, Princess? I haven't got another pair. " He let out a smirk
I rubbed my forhead.
"Right, I'm getting straight to the point. Otherwise, I'll get distracted, and nothing will change."
He rolls his tongue over his bottom lip and places his hand on my thigh.
"I'm all ears,"
I tried not to act bothered, but he knew what he was doing to me.
"Mattheo, we have to stop all of this. You broke my trust. You're one of them now."
"Just because I've got this stupid tattoo doesn't mean my feelings have changed towards you."
"But your priorities have," I snapped out
My response took him by surprise.
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, if he comes calling, you're going,"
"I did that anyway y/n" His tone was getting a little more frustrated and snappier.
I sat their in silence, looking down at my coffee cup that had a lovely stencil of a heart.
"I'm sorry, but it doesn't change anything. I've just been branded, which was bond to happen at some point with me being his son."
"Mattheo, you got to understand my point of view. Your dad killed my parents. And now you have marked your body with his mark."
He looked down at his cup now. And rubbed his face with his hands.
"I'm always going to be compared to him with you, aren't I? You can't look past that." His eyes slowly, looking up and more dark.
"I'm not..."
"I'll never be good enough for you, will I?"
"Mattheo"
"Will I y/n?"
My eyes started to fill up with tears as my visions went blurry. I blinked as tears fell down my cheeks.
"Mattheo..."
He stood up and stormed out
"I love you." I finished my sentence in a low whisper. The need to run after him was unbearable, but I know he needs to calm down.
I wiped away my tears and walked out of the cafe. I headed towards the three broomsticks.
"You came," a voice came from a little table in the corner.
I smiled and headed over to Cedric. We had a great time talking to each other. I found out that he was really into his quidditch and was a seeker for them. It had been a few hours.
"I'm going to head back to the castle now. Got some homework to do, " I said with a smile
"I'll walk back with you." He smiled
He was really lovely, a true gentleman. As we were walking back. You could tell he was nervous about something. He was rubbing his hands together or trying to swing them next to mine.
I smiled at him and held my hand out. I raised my eyebrows at him with a smile. The grin suddenly appeared, and he interlocked his fingers with mine.
We reached the slytherin common room, and he lightly kissed my hand and said, "See you soon y/n," and walked off. I couldn't help the smile on my face.
I walked to my dorm and picked up the books I needed. I study better in the fresh air, so I headed towards the astronomy tower. I opened the door.
To my surprise, Mattheo was sitting on the floor with a bottle of something in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
"Oh, here she is. The backstabber." He said with venom
I frowned at him.
"So you would pick a fucking Hufflepuff over me." He laughed but he sounded dangerous
He stood up and walked towards me. His eyes were dark and didn't blink that whole time. I could smell the alcohol on his breath as he came closer.
"You're drunk,"
"So you don't deny it," his eyebrows raised
"Mattheo, you're drunk. I'm not speaking to you like this,"
"So it's fucking true then you pick that Diggory boy over me. How could you y/n?"
"I'll talk to you when you're sober,"
"Do you know what. He doesn't get you. You're mine and only mine." With that, he storms out
Shit.
I ran after him as he headed towards Hufflepuff common room. Merlin, this boy is fast. I hardly caught up with him as he was running. He seemed to have sobered up on the run.
He got into the Hufflepuff common room before I turned up. The door closed in my face, and I didn't know the password, so I stood outside til someone let me in.
The door swung open, and Mattheo walked out with blood dripping off his face. He grabbed my hand and whispered harshly in my ear.
"He won't be disturbing you anymore,"
