Y/N's life at Hogwarts is anything but ordinary, surrounded by friends who mean everything to her-Mattheo, Tom, and a close-knit circle full of laughter, loyalty, and the occasional mischief. As she navigates the highs and lows of friendship and fir...
It's Tuesday morning and you just woke up in your dorm. Alone. If you can even call it waking up, since you barely got any sleep. Pansy is staying at Theo's dorm, and you haven't seen or talked to Mattheo since last night. You knew he would be somewhat upset that you kept the deal you made with his father from him, but you never wanted to hurt him. You didn't have a choice. You decide to skip breakfast and stay in bed, moping away until you have to get up to get to class.
Mattheo's POV
"Hey, Matt. Where is Y/N?" Pansy asks me and I just shrug. "Still asleep, I guess." I say as I push some food around my plate. "What do you mean, you guess?" Theo asks confused. "She slept in her own dorm last night. But I have no idea what Mattheo did to upset her." Tom answers, and I roll my eyes at him. "I didn't do sh*t. She's the one who didn't tell me she-" I almost tell them about what happened, but they can't know. Especially if my father told Y/N she shouldn't even tell me or Tom. Sh*t. I have been a d*ck to Y/N. She was just trying to protect me. "Didn't tell you what?" Enzo asks curiously, but I shake his question off. "It doesn't matter. I should go. I have to get to charms class. I'll see you guys later." I get up and take my bag to leave. Before I go, I look over at the table and grab a muffin to go.
You quietly walk into the classroom and sit down at your usual spot. The class doesn't start for another five minutes, so Mattheo must still be on his way. You're almost considering sitting somewhere else, since you don't want to upset him more than he already is. You get up from your chair to move, but someone stops you. "You don't have to sit somewhere else." Mattheo says, standing next to you. You quietly sit back down. Mattheo places a muffin next to you on the table. "You didn't have any breakfast yet." He softly smiles at you and you nod thankfully. You pick the muffin up and eat it before class starts. The rest of the day and lunch go by in mostly silence. During your last class, Mattheo slides you a small note.

You look at him and nod. You can't keep ignoring each other. The class ends, and the two of you walk towards the astronomy tower together. You lean on the railing and close your eyes for a second. You take a deep breath as you let the fresh air hit your face. "I'm sorry." Mattheo suddenly says. You take another deep breath and shake your head as you take a seat on the ground. "You don't have to apologise, Matty. I should have told you right away. I'm so sorry." You look at him as he sits down next to you. "No, Princess. You were just trying to protect me. I'm just mad at my father for ever even asking you to join his stupid little cult." Mattheo cups your face as he looks at you with apologetic eyes. "Stupid little cult, you say?" A familiar voice says from behind you. You don't even want to turn around. Mattheo gently lets go of you and slowly gets up to look at him. "Father, I-" Mattheo starts, but Mr. Riddle flicks his wand at him. "Crucio." You quickly get up and block the curse before it hits Mattheo.
"See, that is exactly why I want you in my stupid little cult, Miss Y/L/N." He takes a few steps closer to you and Mattheo. "Well, in a few months, I will be a part of it." You try to stay calm and stand straight. Mr. Riddle smiles and nods. "We will have to work on your ability to keep secrets, but I know a few spells for that." He laughs a bit maniacally. He stares at you and Mattheo for a second. "Don't worry. I am here to just check up on you. I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to keep our little deal from Mattheo. And don't think there is anything you can do to change your fate. You will become a Death Eater, Y/N." He stares right at you. You feel a shiver go down your spine as he pierces his eyes into your soul. He turns around, flicks his hand, and apparates away.
