!!CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING!! "You're not how I remember you." Theodore mumbled, loud enough for it to hang in the cigarette-smoke-infused air between us, but quiet enough for just the two of us to hear. It was heavier than the smoke, maybe heavier than the fallen expression on his face, but I didn't want to test that. "I've just..." I shifted, crossing one leg over the other, fingers twisting the silver ring on my middle finger. "... changed." His gaze lingered on me for a beat too long before he looked away, tapping ash neatly into a tray. "You really have changed," he murmured, almost to himself. I raised a brow, my fidgeting stuttering just slightly. "Is that supposed to be a compliment?" His shoulders rose and fell in a faint shrug, plastering a face of nonchalance. "Not sure yet." --- A dual POV story in which Aliyah Riddle and Theodore Nott find love amongst all the hardships of fighting for their life, for love, and even going behind all they have been convinced is right.

Cedric Diggory lost his life. And Emalin lost her beloved brother. Over one year after the tragedy at the Triwizard Tournament, Emalin returns to Hogwarts, joining her sixth year. As if her loss weren't enough, she finds herself the subject of whispers throughout the castle. What does school life looks after grief? And why does Mattheo Riddle seem to intend on becoming part of hers? ____________________ DISCLAIMER: - English is not my first language. - I'm a Potterhead since being a kid. - I'm new into the Mattheo Riddle universe. - I know some characters are not part of the original Harry Potter world and made up by fans through fanfictions. - At some parts I orientate at other fanfictions when it comes to character designs (for example: Mattheo Riddle, Theodore Nott, Lorenzo Berkshire, etc.), but some parts will be definitely different. Also some characteristics or family related things. - I write out of fun. If someone doesn't like what I write, just scroll past the story and stay polite! - I'm happy about annotations or new ideas, but won't promise to change things how you want them to be. In the end it's my story and my Mattheo Riddle world. Enjoy it and leave a comment or like if you want! :)
