Mattheo's POV

We walked through the hall of the house to a long, thin slope that probably led to the rooms; there was no shadow of anyone. Harry is about to open a door, but I stop him.

Me: Wait, I don't want us to meet anyone unpleasant... Homenum Revelio

Nothing has changed, everything in the room is in exactly the same position.
Ron: I don't think it worked, what kind of spell was that?

I'm about to answer, but Hermione stops me.
Hermione: It's a spell to detect the presence of people in a confined space... it's a fairly common spell.
I smile at her and she nods her head in agreement. Harry walks into the room and I follow him, wand in hand.
Harry: There's no one here...
Hermione: Right, let's go upstairs then.

She says and runs up the creaking stairs, Ron follows her and after him Harry and I, still alert. The stairs led to a dark, drafty sitting room. I waved my wand and switched on the small gas lights scattered around the room. Hermione is sitting on the sofa, still in shock at what has just happened, and Ron is standing beside her with an arm around her shoulders... how I wanted to gouge his eyes out. Harry behind me starts making strange noises and touches his scar and starts sweating and panting.
Me: What the hell?
Hermione: Harry, what is it?! What did you see?

Ron: His bastard father...

I turn to Ron, ready to hit him, but Hermione stands up and puts a hand on my shoulder, then walks over to Harry.
Hermione: Was he at the Weasley house?

Harry: No... I just feel the anger, very angry but excited at the same time... Aurora...

I suddenly turned to him
Me: My sister, what happened?
Harry: I just... it's like I felt her presence...
Hermione: I thought this connection with him was over, Harry!
Harry: And it was so...
Me: Then you have to close your mind!

Harry grabs me by the edges of my jacket
Harry: TELL ME HOW!
Hermione: Harry...
Harry: YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO CLOSE YOUR MIND TO VOLDEMORT, HE'S YOUR FATHER!

I push him back and he raises his hands in surrender
Me: My sister... she also has a connection with our father, she feels things and there are times when she feels the same emotions as he does, I know she's a very good Oclumante...
Hermione: See, this is why Dumbledore wanted me to learn Oclumacy! He didn't want him to get inside your head, but if you keep connecting with him, it will only get worse! Not to remind you of what happened two years ago with... with Sirius...
Harry: You don't have to remind me Hermione, I know perfectly well!
He turns his back to us and looks at an old tapestry, I scan it closer and start to recognise some names and that's when I realise, that was my family tree. I moved closer and began to scan the line that led to me and my sister.

Me: A.B. and M.B., so anonymous...
I point my wand at the tapestry and begin to weave in our names.
Hermione: Aurora Hayacent Riddle and Mattheo Orion Riddle.

Ron begins to stutter something, followed by Hermione's scream, and I point my wand at the silver light that floated into the room. The Patronus of a weasel walked across the carpet and began to speak
X: Family safe, they are spying on us, lest any of you get the unhealthy idea of answering.

And as he appeared, the light went out, leaving them to say goodbye to the dim gas lamps. Ron breathed a sigh of relief and Hermione collapsed to the floor.
Hermione: I don't think my heart can take another fright like that...
Ron: That was my father's voice... ....
Harry: Well, that means they're safe and nobody's hurt.
Me: For now...

Hermione looks at me crookedly
Ron: What the hell is wrong with you?

His tone drops, however, and a strange moan echoes through the room.
Ron: Oh God, I'm starving...
Hermione: How can you be hungry after all we've eaten?
Ron: I get hungry when I'm excited, OK!
