𝐁𝐎𝐑𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐈𝐄 - Mattheo Riddle

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝟐𝟓: 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐚

...

Today Gryffindors and Slytherin of 6th grade shared the potions class with the new professor Slughorn, wich class I was forced to choose because of Draco. "So this is what I offer each of you today, one tiny vial of liquid luck, to the student who, in the hour that remains, manages to brew and acceptable Draught of Living Death, the recipes of wich can be found on page 10 of your books. Good luck to you all" Slughorn finally said letting us make the Liquid Luck perfect potion. We all set in our tables and start making our recipes from the book.

As I was trying to concentrate for a perfect liquid, I rolled up the sleeves of my robe because it was so hot. Forgetting the blindfold Mattheo put on me last night.

"Hey, what happened to your arm?" Draco asked me. "Oh..uhm it's nothing" I said as I rolled my sleeve back down to avoid further questions. What does he expect me to say? Tonight I went looking for you because my mark was burning like hell, oh did I remarked that I ended up in Mattheo's bedroom?How does that sound huh? Exactly, pathetic.

My thoughts were interrupted when Harry finished his potions being the perfect "Felix Felicis".

...

"Did you really have to invite him" I said in a little whisper to Theo, who had the wonderful idea of going to spend the afternoon in Hogsmade with the group, and not only that, but he also invited Mattheo. "He invited himself" Enzo told me as he came over to hear the conversation. "Yeah, sure" I said as we headed to The Three Broomsticks . Once we were seated we ordered some butterbeers, while I tried to avoid Mattheo's constant gaze on me. Doesn't this guy know how to hide?

Suddenly I saw Drac, suspiciously getting up from the table and walk to a back door from The Three Broomsticks. Draco had been acting strange for weeks, sometimes in the evenings I would catch him sneaking off to the room of requirement. I didn't know what he was hiding, but whatever it was I was going to find out.

Blaise was about to speak but was interrupted by a scream coming from outside making us startled. We all went outside to see what was happening. A student named Katie Bell, levitating in the air as if she was...possessed. The magic that possessed her was very dark, and I could only think of one person who could have caused it.... Draco.

Suddenly I felt someone grab my arm making me turn around. "We have to get the hell out of here." Mattheo said in a whisper. "What? No, I want to know what happened" I said, trying to break free from his grip.

This time Mattheo took me by my shoulders making me walk towards Hogwarts not even letting me say a word. That's when I noticed Draco walking behind Mattheo and I. "What have you done, huh?" I said finally releasing myself from Mattheo's grip to abruptly address Draco. "Nothing" He said looking at me without any expression on his face. "What the hell is wrong with you? You two can't separate me from the crowd just like that, and please Draco.. don't pretend you don't sneak out every night to the room of requirement to search god knows what, and I can't belive you have been lying to my face all this time!" I said, taking� the blonde by surprise for having discovered him. "Michelle, I don't think this is the best time or place to discuss this" Draco said, looking at Mattheo who was still standing next to us. "Great" I said ironically continuing my way to Hogwarts alone.

...

"Michelle..." I heard Pansy in front of me say while I was eating toast for breakfast. "Mhm" I said so she would continue talking. "That's Katie, Katie Bell" She said making me look up from my plate to see the girl walking down the hallway of the Great Hall. I watched carefully as Harry Potter approached her, curious to ask her if she knew who had cursed her. At that moment, Draco entered alone through the door of the Great Hall, causing Katie to stare at him, confirming Harry's suspicions that Draco was the responsable of the curse.

Draco, noticing the penetrating gaze of Harry and Katie, stepped back nervously, adjusting his tie, to walk backwards at a quick pace from the Great Hall. Harry didn't hesitate for a second to go after him, and neither did I. I quickly got up from the table, drawing the attention of my friends. "Where are you going?" Theo asked me. "I'll be right back" I answered heading towards the exit of the Great Hall, with Mattheo's gaze following me wherever I was going.

I started to hear glass breaking from the boys' bathroom, so I went in without delay to see what was happening. At that moment I saw Harry and Draco having a confrontation. Taking advantage of the fact that they had not seen me, I hid behind one of the bathrooms, and waited for the perfect moment to attack.

Minutes later, Draco ended up finding me, since my hiding place was terrible. "What are you doing here?!" He said, agitated and surprised to see me. "Shut up, and let me help you" I replied. Harry took advantage of that moment of distraction to attack by surprise. "Sectumsempra!" He said pointing his wand at us, causing one of the two bodies to fall to the ground, but this time it wasn't Draco's...
