Oh, my dear... (Mattheo Riddle ff)

how the tables turn...

P.T.

It was cold. 

A strangely cold night in the middle of the summer. Or maybe I was just freezing, because I was so nervous. 

I had no fucking idea, what Snape could possibly want from me. There was nothing...  I didn't do anything, my grade were amazing, I didn't beat a Weasley up again, I didn't even get in the slightest bit of trouble with anyone! 

Shivering and nervously stepping from one foot to another, I waited in the dark corridor in front of the great hall. It was almost eleven o'clock. 

Mattheo and the others were already back in Slytherin house, getting drunk or ready for bed, I didn't know. 

Only Draco was out with Luna, late night star gazing or some shit. 

I started fiddling with the bouquet of white roses. Now, it was exactly eleven o'clock. Where was Professor Snape? And what the hell did he want from me?

After waiting about five more minutes, I finally hear firm steps coming closer. And then, Snape finally emerged from the shadows of the corridor, walking towards me quickly. 

I really didn't like the look on his face. Snape always seemed cold and tense, but tonight... He seemed deep in thought and... worried? What the fuck?

,,Ms Thorne." he muttered, looking around quickly, as if to make sure we were really alone. 

,,Professor?" I gave back, just as low. 

,,We must have a word, Ms Thorne. It is highly urgent." Snape said, firmly shoving me away from the great hall. 

Instinctively, I held against his push. ,,Professor, what is going on?"

Snape looked down at me coldly. ,,This is about your family, Ms Thorne. Or should I say... Ms Greyback?" 

Everything froze. The breath in my lungs, the blood in my veins, even the air around us seemed to freeze. 

My brain took awfully long to comprehend, what Snape had just said. 

Greyback... 

The name echoed in my head, making me feel dizzy. My hand around the flowers tightened. How did he know? How on earth did Snape know?

,,Ms Thorne, this is urgent." his voice came through to me like from far away. 

,,Ms Thorne!" 

Just when he slightly shook my shoulder, I was freed from my frozen trance. Still clinging onto the bouquet in my hand, I looked up at him in disbelieve. 

,,How?" I asked quietly, my voice nothing more than a weak whisper. ,,How did you..."

,,It wasn't easy." Snape gave back calmly. ,,You did hide it well." 

My head felt like it was spinning. I didn't even realize that I took a few steps away from the great hall. 

,,But don't get scared, Ms Thorne. I did not tell anyone else..." Snape added, leading me even further into the darkness. I stumbled over my heels, and he quickly steadied my stand. 

,,Ms Thorne, please calm down. Nobody knows." he muttered, holding me by my shoulders. 

 ,,But..." I immediately stumbled over my words. ,,But how... I mean... what... No!" 

Professor Snape firmly held me in front of him, staring down at me. ,,Please, Ms Thorne. I know you've been hiding your true name through your now six years at this school, and I know you did it for a reason. You knew already, back when you were just eleven years old, that a daughter of Fenrir Greyback would never be allowed in Hogwarts."
