two surprises

"What?" Elwia repeated in shock. There was no way Mattheo was telling the truth, how could he even know something like that?

Mattheo sighed, grabbed Elwia's hand, and began pulling her with him as his steps grew faster. The two walked in the hallways until they came across an empty room. Mattheo closed the door behind him and turned to face Elwia.

"Okay, so I know this is a lot." Mattheo began saying with his hands held up, taking slow steps closer to the raven-haired girl.

"A lot? I'm a fucking Horcrux, what the fuck?" Elwia shouted, her eyes wide with disbelief, her voice trembling with a mix of fury and shock. She took a step back, her breath coming in sharp, uneven gasps.

Mattheo slapped his hand against Elwia's mouth, pressing it shut, so the only sounds coming from Elwia's mouth were inaudible groans.

"Lower your voice, would you?" Mattheo mumbled and raised an eyebrow. Elwia nodded her head a few times, which made Mattheo lower his hand.

"How do you even know all of this? How do you know I'm a seer and a Horc- fuck, I can't even say it. It makes me sick to think about it." Elwia shook her head.

"Well, my father told me that he struck both of you that night. I don't know how he hasn't figured it out—his connection with Harry and you. I immediately realised that he had accidentally created two more horcruxes." Mattheo explained while resting his body against the door.

"So Voldemort doesn't know that me and Harry are Horcruxes? That's good, right?" Elwia slowly nodded her head with frowned brows and paced around the room. "But what about me being a seer? How do you know that, and why the fuck am I a seer?"

"I'm not sure exactly why that is, but I would guess that it has to do something with the Killing Curse hitting you and mutating your blood, causing you to get seer powers. I'm not sure, Elwia." Mattheo answered with his hands crossed.

"What the fuck?" Elwia mumbled, feeling utterly confused and terrified.

"I mean, it could be a blood curse too. And I know this because, unlike my father, I am not blinded by the need to kill you two. I have focused on gathering and understanding information that he has been too blind to notice." Mattheo shrugged his shoulders and walked closer to the girl.

"Um, okay. That explains literally nothing, Riddle. And you're saying it could be a blood curse? What the actual fuck, that doesn't sound good." Elwia complained, burying her face with her hands.

"Yeah, and now that I think about it, there is actually a catch." Mattheo added, rubbing his neck with an awkward smile.

"What now?" Elwia groaned, throwing her head back.

"You and Harry need to die." Mattheo tilted his head and nodded it a few times with narrowed eyes.

"What?" Elwia repeated, stopping her tracks.

"As long as you two are alive, it's impossible to completely destroy Voldemort. You are Horcruxes, and allow him to stay immortal." Mattheo explained.

"Oh," Elwia mumbled, suddenly feeling weak in the knees. The girl stumbled with her steps and would have almost fallen to the floor if it hadn't been for Mattheo catching her.

"You alright?" Mattheo mumbled, steading Elwia with his hands.

"Yes, we should head back. It's New Year's in 30 minutes, and I need to find someone to kiss when the clocks change." Elwia mumbled and walked to the door.

Elwia's steps were quick as she headed back towards the ballroom. She accidentally pushed a few people on the way there, mumbling small, incoherent apologies to them.
