The Riddles - Mattheo And Tom One shots

The diary part one

I was sat in my room at home, it had been a week since my mother's death and we had just buried her. My father was now in Azkaban for killing her. My twin brother Theo was in hospital recovering from his injuries for saving me. I was clearing out some of my mothers things from her office when I found a box. When I opened it I found a diary and a letter addressed to me.

My dearest Sophia,
If you found this it means I'm gone. I am sorry for leaving you and Theo. I know he will protect you and keep you safe. The diary is something very special to me. Its a magical diary that was gifted to me by someone very special that I cared very deeply for. Please don't be scared when you learn his name, he won't hurt you. He will help you through your grief and become a friend if you let him. I hope you will enjoy his company as much as I always did. Don't tell Theo or your father about this diary and guard it with your life. I love you always.
Love mother

I looked at the diary and tried to figure out what she meant by it being magical then I remembered the horcrux diary that belonged to Voldemort. This better not be a horcrux. I opened the diary and wrote "hello?" I watched as the writing disappeared and new words appeared "Isabella is that you?" "No I'm her daughter Sophia. Who's this?" I wrote back. I hope this isn't Voldemort. "I'm Tom" "Your Tom Riddle aren't you" I was scared to ask but I had to. "How did you know?" "This isn't the only magical diary you created." "Ah yes my horcrux. Isabella did mention they were all destroyed and I was defeated." "How do you know my mother?" "It would be easier if you come in to the diary so we can talk in person. Don't worry I can't harm you and as you are Isabella's daughter I would never harm you." I thought for a few moments. Merlin I can't believe im actually going to do this. "Okay I'll come in" I charmed the door shut and then got pulled in to the diary.
When I arrived I was in the chamber of secrets at hogwarts. From a dark area out walked Tom Riddle. He was young around my age and quite handsome I must say.
"You look just like your mother" as I looked at him all I could see was Mattheo. He looks just his father except Mattheo has curly hair and Tom has wavy hair. "Your son looks exactly like you except his hair is curly." He looked at me confused.
"I have a son?" I'm guessing my mother never mentioned that. "His name is Mattheo, he's in my year at Hogwarts and is best friends with me and my twin brother Theo."
"Who's his mother?"
"Bellatrix Lastrange"
"Why on earth did I have a child with that awful women and why did Isabella not tell me I had a son?"
"Maybe she was worried you might want him to follow in your footsteps because the you that came back from the dead wanted that."
"What does Mattheo want?"
"He wants to be normal. He doesn't want to be evil. He wants the one thing he never had, family."
"If that's what he wants then that's what he will have."
"I'm surprised you are saying that"
"When I created this diary for your mother it wasn't created with dark magic like my horcrux was. This diary was enchanted. Me and your mother were close friends, we were inseparable always went everywhere together but I knew that with my goal for power she would be in danger so I created this diary with the best version of my seventeen year old self in its pages so even after i stopped talking to her in person she always had the me in this diary. This me understands kindness and companion. This me can't harm anyone and has no desire to."
"I wish this was the version of you that Mattheo had"
"Who raised Mattheo with me disappearing for all those years and Bellatrix being in Azkaban?"
"It was Lucious and Narcissa Malfoy. They raised Mattheo as well as there own son Draco. Lucious was awful to the boys. He hurt them to get them to do what he wanted and to get them to conform to his pure blood beliefs."
"I wish I could of stopped it. This version of me regrets what the real me did."
"What would happen if someone found out about this. Like the ministry for example would they hurt you?"
"There is only one way out of the diary and it can't be destroyed so it wouldn't matter if anyone were to find out. The diary is bound to you now so even if they took it from you it would always reappear for you and only you. Works in a similar way as the sword of Gryffindor so don't worry there is no way they can harm me and I wont allow them to harm you because of me."
"So I can write in the diary whenever I want to talk to you?"
"Exactly and if you ever want to come in all you have to do is ask but always make sure the diary is somewhere safe if want to come in so best doing it in your room with the door locked."
"Well Tom I never thought I would say this but I think we are going to be great friends."
"I agree. Now tell me about your mother. You finding the diary has me fearing the worst."
"Last week my parents got in to a huge fight. They were always fighting and arguing but this fight was more violent than the others. My father tried to hurt me and Theo and our mother stood in his way. She died protecting us. He then tried to hurt me but Theo stopped him, thankfully the ministry arrived and arrested him before he could kill one of us. We had her funeral yesterday. Theo was able to attend but had to back to hospital to recover from his injuries. " I could tell the news had upset him greatly. He stayed silent for few minutes, taking in the news that the only girl he ever cared for was dead.
"Sophia the fact you went through all that and aren't a crying mess just shows how strong you are."
"I mean I'm best friends with the son of Voldemort. You have to be strong to have a friend like him."
"Is he a good friend to you?"
"Him and Theo are very protective of me. Mattheo almost got expelled once because he beat the living hell of a boy who tried to touch me, he almost killed the boy. I had to turn on the tears to convince the headmaster to let him stay."
"So he's a fist fighter, not a wand fighter"
"Yeah he tends to punch first and ask questions later."
"One thing he got from his mother then. I take it the students are hard on him because of me"
"Most of them are scared of him. Harry Potter went around telling the entire school that Mattheo is dangerous. The only friends he has is me, Theo, his cousin Draco and two others Enzo and Blaise. There is a couple of girls that we sometimes hang around with and there not scared of him but there not quite friends. Mattheo has trust issues because of Lucious. Narcissa always tried to protect him and Draco but it didnt work. Lucious is in Azkaban now."
"He's had to go through so much because of the real me"
"Earlier you said there is only one way out of the diary. What is that?"
"Well when I created this diary I knew I was the only Riddle alive and I didn't intend on having any children so the only way out of the diary would be if Mattheo is in danger. Someone of who shares my blood being in danger is my only way out and Mattheo is the only living Riddle. I would only be able to leave for a few hours then I would be pulled back in to the diary but after that I would be able to leave the diary whenever I like but only for a few hours a day. There is no permanent way out."
"If Mattheo was in danger would you leave to help him"
"Without a second thought. The real me was an awful father but hopefully this me can make amends for it."
"What would happen if you tried to hurt someone while you were out of the diary"
"I can't, outside of the diary I wouldn't even be able to touch a wand without it causing me great pain. I don't wish to be a violent person like the real me was"
"Will Mattheo ever know about you?"
"He will someday but not yet. I want to know more about him first."
"Well I will tell you as much about him as I can"
We sat chatting for several hours until I realised I better get to bed so I could visit Theo in the morning. I said my goodbye and left with a smile as he smiled back.

The next day I visited Theo and sadly saw the daily prophet front page.

WOMEN DIES AT THE HANDS OF HER HUSBAND TO PROTECT HER CHILDREN
Isabella Nott formally Parker was killed last week after she got in to a violent altercation with her husband. The couples argument started verbal but quickly turned violent when the father of the family Jacob, threatened to harm the couples two children, seventeen year old twins Theodore and Sophia. After several minutes Jacob lunged for the children but Isabella stood in the way and ended up losing her life to protect her children.
After the death of Isabella a now enraged Jacob turned his attention to his children. He made an attempt to harm his daughter Sophia but her twin brother Theodore stood in the way and the two began fighting. Neighbours of the family had already alerted the ministry about the disturbance and arrived in time to save the children.
Jacob Nott has been sentenced to life in Azkaban. While Sophia was unharmed, her brother Theodore is in Saint Mungos recovering from his injuries.

Well this is going to make things interesting when we return to hogwarts in a few weeks. I got home grabbed some food, the newspaper and a book Tom had requested and went in to diary. I spent the rest of the day with Tom. I can't believe I'm best friends with Voldemort.
