A Way Out; Mattheo Riddle

LEGIMENECY

Legimency, for higherarchy's finest

I headed to the astronomy tower to sit and clear my head. The only place where I could be alone and process my thoughts. I dug through my pockets to find my cigs and I began to lit one putting it in my mouth and exhaling the smoke. I stared out into the sunset. It was almost dark. My thoughts began to unravel.

"All alone in the dark? Gigi."
I looked up to see Mattheo leaning against the railing. His face was had fresh cuts on it.
"What are you doing in my spot?" He asked.
"This is actually my spot but okay." I turned my head back to the view. He comes closer. Making my body tense.
"How do you know my name?" I asked.
"It's not hard to find out."
"Okay that's not creepy at all." I sighed rolling my eyes.
He took out his own pack and lit one too. Standing beside me.
"So why do you smoke?" He asked.
"Because I want to."
"Ah." He said in disbelief.
"You know I'd be nice if you stopped trying to read my thoughts. You've been trying to all day." I looked at him annoyed.
"How'd you learn Legiminency?" He raised a brow.
"Where did you?"
We just stared at each other. Trying to figure each other out.
"Can I ask you something Mattheo?"
"Do not call me by my first name, slut."
"Don't you fucking dare call me that!" I said slapping him hard across the face. His face turned lightly as I hit his cheek smirking like Lucifer.
He swiftly in one motion grabbed my arm and pinned them against the wall while I was trying to reach for my wand.
"Try that again I dare you."
"Gladly." I smiled.
We were breathing the same air. I smelt his minty breath against mine. His cologne inoculating my nostrils.
"Done staring, darling?"
"Don't you dare fucking call me that and don't flatter yourself either, idiot." I gritted my teeth. Trying to look away from his mesmerizing eyes. That was a death wish waiting to happen. He quickly grabbed hold of my chin turning my head towards his. Putting a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you love."
I just stood there completely and utterly shocked.
He then let go. Like he was put out of his trance. And walked away. Again.

"Goodnight babes." Pansy said.
"Night." Me and Bonnie said before drifting off into a deep sleep. I on the other hand didn't fall asleep for a few more hours. Thinking of him. I hate myself for it. I'm so pathetic. It's sad.

Monday, 2 September 1998

As I headed to class with Draco and Bonnie we were discussing Hagrids pet in year 3 'Buckbeat' and Draco's incident with it. We'd never let him forget that. Or when he got turned into a ferret and climbed into Goyle's pants. Me and Bonnie were laughing our asses off before entering Divination.

The class was quite boring and uneventful. So was the rest of the day before our free period. Which was now taken by Mcgonogal.

We entered the dining hall where she greated us with some old and huge music player.
"Today we will be dancing. The waltz precisely for the Christmas hall coming up in a few months. Why are we preparing so early you may ask? Because Mr Lockhart is stopping by London this week and has agreed to teaching is form the very nets himself!" Everyone in the hall seemed unpleased. Including me. Not only did we have to dance but with Lockhart teaching us too. Great. I looked at Lorenzo who was eyeing me and giving me the 'partners?' Look to which I nodded to. He probably had something to tell me. He looked nervous. We all got up and I walked towards Lorenzo. He put his hands on my waist and I put my hands on his shoulders.

"So wanna tell me about Riddle?" I sighed.
"I'm sorry! What do you want to know?" He said.
"Anything he is your brother..."
"Well we share the same mom..you know who.. and his dad is well the dark lord. My dad is just some random wizard I've never met. We were both raised by Bellatrix as you know. Our mom. But we got separated at the age of 8 he went to live with you know who."
I looked at him in shock.
"Voldemort is alive!?" I said in a whisper.
He just nodded sadly.
"You've got to be fucking with me.and you didn't think to tell me?!!" I realized that I was getting the mark and that something big, something bad was going to happen.

I hadn't seen Mattheo all day. I wondered where he was. Which I really shouldn't of been doing.

I went to go find Pansy to see if she wanted to hang out. I found her in the library flirting with Pucey. Ew I hated that guy. He tried roofing me and then he tried forcing himself on be back in 5th year. I tried warning Pans about him but she just never listens.
"hey Gigi!" Pansy said hugging me.
"Hey Pans, wanna go out to the gardens? I need to talk to you about something."
She looked at Adrian Pucey waving to him goodbye and grabbed my arm.
"What is it? You alright?"
"Yeha yeha of course I just wanted to hang with you." I laughed.
We talked for a few minutes sitting on the window sills outside.

"So I think there's a Gryffindor party today, wanna crash it?" She grinned.
"There's no fucking way there's a Gryffindor party on a Tuesday, Granger would kill them." I sighed.
"Yes oh my god there is! It's gonna be wild too!" She laughed.
"Alright then. When is it?"
"Starts at 10 I think. After Filtch is done roaming Gryffindor commons."
"How are we gonna get there then? It's on the other side of the castle."
I said.
"We'll figure it out." He rolled her eyes. Pansy would definitely do anything to get into that party. There's nothing more she likes than parties.
