Goodnight Princess

Chapter 5

Mattheo POV

    I apparate back to the Manor where I live with my Mom Bellatrix, and the Malfoy's with their son Draco, who is my age.

    I go to the room they let me use as a boxing ring so I can let out my anger. I put on boxing gloves and walked into the ring thinking about what had happened over the last week and a half.

    Just a week ago I had met y/n. I have not known her for long but I want to protect her with my life. I had never felt like this before. Yeah I had beat up a couple of Muggles for Draco when I was younger. But never someone outside of the family, especially not a girl. Growing up my father thought love was a weakness, he discouraged it, he never loved me. He tortured me. I mean he was no father, he was a monster to be served or face a certain painful death. So in return I have never felt love and never have loved. Sure my mother loved me in her own way but not the way most mothers love their children. I don't know what this feeling is. Is it just that I had made my first real friend or is it something more.

I hit the punching bag over and over again letting my anger out, imagining hitting all the people who hurt her. After hours in that room it was time for dinner.

I went into the dining room and sat down in my normal seat as they sit down around me.  Narcissa looks at me and my new black eye from Saturday.

"What happened to you and where have you been, your note never said why you were gone." She asked like a concerned mother, she was more of a mother to me than Bellatrix.

"Umm, you know how I have been tasked to get the lost witch to Hogwarts next year before I can attend. Well I met her the first day of school, she was a really quiet girl sitting in the back. Her name is y/n and she is a really strong witch, she can read minds, and block me out from reading hers, she is so strong that we can communicate from here through our minds. She has had the roughest life, she was exiled by her class and got shoved into a puddle getting her soaking wet which washed away makeup covering bruises all over her body, which I found out was from her getting attacked repeatedly by a gang of 17 year olds. Her parents also basically disowned her after she got her letter, they threw it out and refused to let her go, that is why she did not go to Hogwarts. But I was not home because they attacked her again, this time stabbing her so she ended up in the hospital after I found her when she called upon me. I may have sent two of the kids in the gang to the hospital as well but it was seen as self defense. But I wanted to stay with her since she had no one else." I rambled on for about five minutes about all the things that she has been through.

"Oh that sounds horrible, I hope she is ok. It sounds like you really care about her." Narcissa responded once I stop talking.

"Yea I really do and she is so perfect, with her soft brown eyes and perfect hair that frames her face perfectly, and her smile makes me forget the world around me." I say forgetting the people who surround me.    

Narcissa passes a knowing smile to both Lucius and Bellatrix, as we continue eating.

"When you think best I would like to meet her, a friend of yours is always welcome here."

That night I lay in bed and try to call upon y/n.

"You up"

"Yea couldn't sleep did you do the math homework?"

"You know I didn't, I guess I will do it now" I say before walking over to my desk.

"Let me guess you want the answers."

"You know me so well. Plus I don't understand any of this stuff anyways. Since I only half learned it." There was a moment of silence where she was getting her paper.

"OK the answer to # 1 is 3..."

    After I had finished doing the homework we said our good nights and went to bed.

Sorry for the shorter chapter. The next one will be longer. Thank you for reading this far.
