Y/N believes Mattheo has been secretly investigating the mysterious room, the diary, and the strange attacks around Hogwarts because he wants power.
The truth?
Mattheo isn't investigating the mystery.
He's protecting her from it.
Years ago, before Y/N arrived at Hogwarts, a prophecy was made. It didn't mention Harry Potter or Voldemort. It mentioned a witch whose choices would determine whether an ancient dark magic would be destroyed forever or awakened again.
That witch is Y/N.
Mattheo learned about the prophecy before the story even began.
Everything he did-the arguments, the distance, the lies, even pretending to hate her-was because he had been ordered never to let her discover the truth.
The devastating part?
The closer he got to her, the harder it became to keep the secret.
