Goodnight Princess

Chapter 31

A month has passed now and we are leaving for Hogwarts tomorrow. I decided to spend the day with the boys, all of the boys. We went to an outlet mall in London because we all needed some new clothes for school and parties and stuff like that. I get that we all have to wear uniforms, but that is only for classes, we can wear what we want otherwise. We brought Leo along because we all wanted to spend a little more time together before we left.

We walked into the store and headed to the clothing section first. I wandered off into my section and the boys all were at the other side of the store. It was like the fourth store we had been in, and we just charmed all of our other bags home.  I was going through a rack of shirts when I saw this figure in all black looking at me from the aisle behind me. And not just casual looked up at the wrong time, no he was staring into my soul. I just ignored him and just went on shopping. A few minutes later when I had moved to the dress section, I could still feel his eyes on me. Though the presence of this person felt familiar; the way he stood, still yet perfectly straight, the height ... oh shoot. Why is he even here?!

It was him, why does it always have to be him? Ben, curse his name; his being actually. I am in London for goodness sake. How does this kid always find a way to haunt me? He walks over to me. Ohhh great this will be fun.

"Hello beautiful. What are you doing in London."

"I could ask you the same thing Benjamin."

"Wow, so hostile toward your old mate."

"We are not mates; never have been, never will be. Now if you excuse me I have some shopping to do." I try to walk past him toward, back to the others. But he grabs my wrist.

"Where do you think you're going, beautiful?" I tug my wrist back from his grip.

I let out a sigh. "What do you want Ben."

"You to suffer for what you did to me."

"WHAT I DID TO YOU! Hmh, yeah I'M the one who needs to apologize here.

"NOT only have you ruined my reputation, the whole town hates me, they shun me everywhere I go."

"Doesn't that sound familiar. Oh yeah, THAT'S WHAT YOU DID TO ME."

He grabbed my wrist again this time he shoved me out the back door that was only a few isles away. That's when I see the knife sticking out of his jeans pocket. What is it with assertive boys trying to stab me???

"Get your hands off me."

    "Not until you come back and fix what you have done."

    "I haven't done anything you haven't deserved."

    "My own family hates me, they practically disowned me while you are living the life out here with yours."

    "Funny of you to assume that no, as far as I know they are still in that dingy little town living out their lives."

    "You WILL come back and you will fix me."

    "Funny of you to assume I care about you, or that town. No one ever wanted me there, what makes you think they would listen. Also why would I do anything for you."

    "Because we have Leo"

My hard gaze falters. "How?"

Mattheo's pov

    We were over in the boy's section. Leo decided to go over to his size because the clothes we were looking at were much too big. We were looking at the hoodies when we heard raised voices. We decided to go collect the others just in case. Draco goes to get Leo while I decide to look for y/n. I walked over to the girl's section where I thought she would be. But I was wrong, I ran through all of the isle but she was nowhere to be found. I was starting to worry that maybe she was in that argument. But where is she now?

    "Princess, where are you?"

    "Find Leo, leave me find Leo."

    "What, where is Leo?"

    "They took him, please, please."

    "Draco, he is already looking for him. But I need you to tell me who has him."

    "Russel"

    "What is he doing with your brother?"

    "Leverage; just find him, please."

    "Where are you?"

    "Not important."

    And with that she left the conversation. What is going on and why do they need leverage? Who has her? That's when it hit me. Ben. What is he going to do to her? I mean she practically ruined his life last year. Does he want revenge?

    I shake my head to clear it and go to help Draco. When I find him, I explain what is going on. I can see flames in his eyes when I finish. He has spent so much time with Leo over the past month. Leo spent his time either with Draco or reading. It's been a month but he has gone through at least 10 books since he came to stay. I see Draco running out of the store so I follow him. When I finally caught up with him I saw what he was following. Someone had Leo pulling him behind them, he was struggling but he was so much smaller than the other person.

    Draco goes to draw his wand, but I stop him before he can cast anything.

    "Draco he's a muggle and we're out in the open; you can't use magic."

    He just starts to run again. I follow him, we chase him into a dead corner. He stops and turns around putting Leo into a headlock.

    "Let go of him, now before something we regret goes down." Draco was practical fuming. We both took a step toward him, pounding our fist in our hand. He took a frightened step back until his back hit the wall.

    "You surrender yet?" His grip on Leo only tightened. We take another step. I give a slight nod. Draco at that moment drew his wand knocking him out before he could even register what was happening. He drops to the ground. Leo immediately runs over into Draco's arms in a tight embrace. "You're safe now, we won't let them hurt you."
