~Draco~

We're all in Dumbledore's office, explaining the situation, Mattheo talking a bit to fast. Dumbledore, as the calm man he is, speaks up slowly.

"And what are you suggesting for me to do?"

"Um...is there like a spell to see if she's okay? Where she is?" Mattheo stutters

Dumbledore looks at Theo, "But the boy said she was dead."

"No, don't listen to Theo he's an idiot. I refuse to believe she's dead, I just know she's still alive somewhere. I just know it. She has to be." Mattheo looks down at the floor.

I sit a bit behind him on a chair, resting my arms on the sides, I haven't said much...I don't really like Dumbledore, well not that I have a choice to.

"Mr. Riddle, I understand that you and Mr. Nott used to be very close. You two were quite the duo, you seemed to be inseparable ever since your first day at Hogwarts. What is going on?" Dumbledore locks eyes with Mattheo and Theo, my eyes widen slightly at the change of topic. 

"H...how do you know somethings going on?" Theo asks

Dumbledore smiles slightly, "I know a lot of the things that go on in these walls"

Theo and Mattheo look at each other for a second before looking back down. 

"very well then...I think it's time to find out where Miss Y/l/n is." Dumbledore clears his throat before casting a spell into a pile of water in a small fountain. All the boys, including me peer over the water as the reflection transitions to a cell. My heart drops as I see y/n chained up, lying on the cold floor in pain. I see Mattheos facial expression drop, he even starts to tear up a bit but attempts to hide it.

"She's....she's alive." I finally say something. "Th...That's my basement...In Malfoy Manor." I gulp as I realise where she is. Everyone turns to me, their eyes widening.

"She's in...your house?" Enzo looks up at me as he leans over the fountain.

I nod my head and Mattheo instantly clenches his fist and storms out. "Where are you going?" Tom shouts pulling him back by his shirt. "You can't just waltz in there, they'll kill you."

"I don't care, the longer we wait the longer she has to sit in that cage like that, the less time she has left. I mean who know what the hell they're doing to her in there!"

We all realise he's right, but merlin I hope my Father isn't one of the death eaters who were watching her. My Father is a good man. Sort of. He is good when I compare him to his own Father, and that's enough. I hope. 

My father and I are more alike than I'd care to admit, and whenever I feel pure rage, I know I am my Fathers son. 

As much as I want to help them find her, I can't bring myself to follow them. I can't just go against my Father like that. I can't put myself in that position. But I think somewhere deep down they know why.

I reach out my hand uttering them to stop for a second, "Wait just...watch out for my Father." The word 'father rotted in my mouth. 

The boys nod and head off, I slowly walk out a bit after them and make my way to my dorm, not wanting to be left alone with Dumbledore.

~Mattheo~

I rush out of Dumbledore's office alongside the other boys except for Draco. We are all in a hurry to find you. As we hurriedly make our way to Malfoy manor I can't stop thinking about you. Your pale figure, all alone on that freezing damn floor. You shivering, blood staining your skin...all because of me. Because I wasn't watching over you. I hate to see you in so much pain because of me. 

Suddenly Theo nudges my shoulder, "Not now Theo," I snarl.

"Listen man...I'm sorry for being a prick, I was just...mad. And I guess I just wasn't ready to hear that from you." He explains in a soft genuine voice.

I keep walking but I turn my head slightly as he continues speaking. "I've accepted it now, she's not mine, and that's okay. If she wants you then I guess she's not the right one for me anyway. And honestly I think we'd be better as friends."

I stop for a second to look him in the eye, he really does seem genuine. I guess I just get so possessive over you, but now that he's said sorry, it makes me feel just a little bit better. I shake his hand "we're good, okay?" I say patting him on the back. He nods and we continue making our way to you, Enzo and Tom following shortly behind.
