The Broken Ones

Chapter Two

~Mattheo's POV~

Theo comes back out of breath "Bloody hell, she's fast"

I chuckle "She had to be."

"How do you know her?" Enzo asks which makes everyone look at me expectantly

I roll my eyes "I was close to her brother before we got frozen in time by my father"

They look shocked. "So, where's her brother now?" Theo asks and it makes me want to stop talking.

"he's dead," I say remembering that day all too well.

Flashback

Loki had just failed his task and Voldemort was so livid, it was essential, he was supposed to poison the chosen one, but he accidentally poisoned the wrong cup and killed the wrong person. Loki was one of the best death eaters other than his sister. Loki could get any task done faster than anyone else. The Lestrange twins were deadly, they were taught to kill and never flinch or hesitate, however, Loki had recently fallen in love with a white-haired Ravenclaw named Luna and she had changed his entire world. He hesitated for a split second and poisoned the wrong person. So now he was in front of my father, pleading for his life and Salem ran in and tried going after my father, Draco Malfoy grabbed her and held her back. She looked at me with pleading eyes the same eyes she had when she was pleading for our Child's life, she was pregnant with my kid, and we thought my father would allow it but when we told him he ordered the baby killed immediately it almost killed her in the process. So, when she looked at me with those same eyes I had to try and stop him, Salem and I were not romantically involved, we had fucked, but that was all. She was still my best friend's sister and could have been the mother of my kid, so I stepped forward.

"Father, he has been more than helpful these past years, surely one slip-up doesn't mean he has to die. he could still be helpful." I had never liked my father nor enjoyed being his puppet, but it was that or get tortured for hours or even days.

"Are you questioning me!?" Voldemort says and based on the look in his eye I know what's coming. "Crucio!"

It hits me and no matter how many times he does it, it never feels bearable, it feels like my insides are boiling and ripping, like I'm getting stabbed in the brain by the dullest knife. I look over at Draco and he immediately understands, he drags Salem out, while she's kicking and screaming and begging, when they leave the room and the doors shut, I'm finally able to let out the scream I've been holding in. My father wants me to beg for my life, but I refuse to give him the satisfaction, he won't kill me. He needs me, but I see him turn back to Loki and I realize there's nothing I can do. I silently whisper an apology to Salem, and then I realize the only way to save Loki will make Salem hate me forever and I can live with that.

I yell "Wait! If he has to die at least let me do it, if you kill him, Salem will never follow you again and you need her as an ally. If I do it, she will just hate me not you." he looks at me and thinks for a moment.

"Very well, you have a good point. Don't let me down." he looks at me expectantly.

I Speak "I can't do it now Salem will think you ordered me to do it, I will wait a week and then start an argument with him."

"Very well," he says.

End of Flashback

"Mattheo, Mattheo!" I hear Enzo saying I snap back into the present.

"What?" I say slightly annoyed

"He asked how he died," Theodore says

"My Father did it," I say mournfully

Salem comes in and we all look at her. She ignores us completely and goes up to her dorm, I realize that Scorpius' little sister is walking behind her.

"Is that little Cassiopeia?" Theodore asks. She starts walking towards us, and Scorpius looks up.

"It's not little Cassiopeia anymore," Enzo chuckles clearly checking her out.

Scorpius throws a pillow at Enzo "Gross dude."

Cassiopeia Looks at me. "Hi, I'm Cassiopeia, you must be Mattheo." I nod at her. She looks at Scorpius "I need some money for the entrance fee for the party tonight."

"You're not going." Scorpius says dismissively

"Yes, I am, I'm going with Salem" she says matter-of-factly

"You and Salem are friends?" Scorpius says. Cassiopeia nods

"Can you hook me up with her?" Theodore says half-joking, he's a player, Salem will have a field day messing with him.

"Ew no" Cassiopeia giggles. Salem yells for Cassiopeia and she runs up to Salems Dorm.

I can't believe Shes friends with Salem, she seems so bubbly, and Salem is dark and twisted.

Salem and Cassiopeia Walk back into the common room Salem has a bag and some clothes, probably for the party. They're talking and giggling about some Hufflepuff that hit on Cassiopeia.

"So, I hear your going to the party after all" Theodore smugly says

"Cas wanted me to go" Salem says nonchalantly, they walk out of the common room.

Salems POV

Cas and I walk back to her dorm to get ready for the party, Cas wears a baby blue bodycon mini dress with tiny white daisies on it with white chunky heels and leaves her long blonde hair down, she does very natural makeup. She looks adorable, like she's going to family brunch on the beach, i however dress like I'm going to a rave. I wear a tight black mini dress and a fluorescent green fishnet top, some combat boots. I put my curly hair in some French braided space buns, I add some silver snake hair clips. I put on some silver sparkly liquid eyeshadow and a winged eyeliner and black lipstick Then change my nose piercing to a snake hoop.

"You look gorgeous!" Cas says from behind me

"Thank you, Cas, I'm glad I found a friend like you" I say lightheartedly

"Now let's go, we've got some boys to make drool" she says lightly giggling.

we start walking to the party.
