Mattheo pov
It's been three months since the battle of hogwarts. Three months since Harry defeated my father. Three months since y/n last spoken.
With the quick thinking of Hermione who put y/n into a coma, merlin knows what would have happened to her.
I've not left her side since. She's been transferred to a specialist hospital with the best healers in the country.
The death eaters have all been sent to azkaban. The ones that lived. Myself and all those who didn't fight by his side in the war got a pardon from the ministry of magic. This means we live normal lives just with the mark, which can't be removed.
"Mattheo," a soft voice spoken as a hand touched my shoulder. I looked up to my right to see Pansy, Theo, and Enzo standing there.
I did a soft smile. "Hey,"
"Go home, have a shower and a good nap. We've got it from here, " Theo said softly but in a demanding voice.
I looked back at y/n, who had multiple wires coming out of her with an oxygen machine attached.
I stood up slowly. "Can you.."
"Call if anything happens," Pansy finished off my sentence like she's heard me say it a million times before.
I nodded and rubbed my eyes. I couldn't tell you the last time I slept properly. Every time I closed my eyes, I just saw the scene of my father pointing his wand at y/n. If he wasn't dead, I would kill him for what he's done to her.
"Thanks, guys." I gave a half smile and kissed y/n on the forhead before heading out of the hospital.
I nodded and smiled at a few healers on the way out. With me practically living here for the last twelve weeks, I know everyone.
A short train journey later, I arrive at a safe house that the Weasleys have lent to me. Y/n was right they are lovely and understanding family. They are always here if I need something.
I threw my bag on the floor and headed into the bathroom. I turned on the hot shower and started to get undressed. I looked at myself in the mirror. Merlin, I looked awful. My hair was overgrown and messy, plus I had dark circles underlying eyes, which added forty years to me.
Once I stepped into the shower, the hot water hit my face. Washing all the dread and worry from the last couple of days with it. After fully deep cleaning all of my body. I stepped out, getting myself dry and into a pair of jogging bottoms.
As I started to head towards the bedroom, the door knocked. Who on earth would that be. I grabbed my wand from the desk and pointed it to the door while I slowly walked up to it.
"Who is it?" I shouted
"It's just me." A girl voice came from behind the door
Confused by who voice I just heard, I slowly opened the door, and Hermione and Ron were stood there.
"Oh hey guys. Please come in. "
"Sorry for dropping in on you like this, but we called the hospital, and they said you just left."
"Yeah, Enzo, Theo, and Pansy have taken over for a few hours while I sorted myself out."
"I thought you might appreciate this." she reached into her bag and pulled out a pair of scissors and comb
I let out a little giggle
"Yeah mate your looking about 58 instead of 18" Ron said with a smirk
"You're not wrong," I said, laughing
"Sit down. Ron put the kettle on"
He did a salute behind her back and headed towards the kitchen
"Oh, I don't think I have anything in," I said, kind of embarrassingly
"Don't worry, Mattheo. It's all in my bag." Hermione smiled
After a few minutes, Hermione was cutting the back of my hair. I've never had this much hair before, and feeling the fresh air hit the back of my neck was so refreshing.
We were sipping on tea while Hermione finished up. She handed me a hand mirror.
"Good as new," she said with a smile
I took the mirror and looked at myself. Wow. What a simple haircut can do. I feel great for the first time in months. I can't wait to show y/n. Then reality hit me. When she wakes up, of course.
"Thanks, Hermione," I said with a soft smile
"So I've been to the library," she softly spoken
"Hasn't left," Ron added
She side eyed him before continuing. I let out a little smirk as they reminded me so much of me and y/n.
"There's this new potion which has only been developed, and it's meant to help with people getting out of comas"
My eyes went wider and I sat up straighter. She added.
"I spoken to the hospital about it and the healers know all about it. More in detail. But they need permission from Harry to do it on her as he is her only family"
"Well what is he waiting for" I said with a frown
"He's just concerned that there's hardly any research behind it"
"Well it's better trying then letting her rot in that bed" I snapped
She let out a deep breath and placed her hand on my shoulder
"I would never let that happen. Let me talk to him"
I shook my head "sorry I didn't mean to snap"
"It's ok Mattheo. You want the best for y/n and we will get her back. Now go to bed. We will see ourselves out"
She gave me a hug while they head for the door. I turned and headed towards the bedroom. Where the silk sheets hit my skin and my head was planted against the pillow.
My eyes got heavier and heavier.
