Stay - Mattheo Riddle

I love you too

"I swear to Slytherin, if you ever die again, then I will kill you myslef" Nott groaned as he pulled her into yet another hug. She chuckled softly as she wrapped her arms around the boy for what felt like the 100th time, though she couldn't blame him, especially after he had lost his mother

"I'll try not to do it again" She replied and Theodore pulled away from the hug before he turned to look at Mattheo, "thank you for saving her, she's all I have left" Mattheo sent Theodore a small nod, it wasn't much but it made Kirra smile at the interaction between the on and off friends.

"I think we should talk later on, you know about with everything you found out about me, I understand if you don't want anything to do-" Mattheo started but was cut off by the small Hufflepuff.

"We aren't our parents Mattheo, and I'm not going to blame you for what your father did or stop associating with you because of who your father is, but im just disappointed that you didn't tell me... but I can understand why you didn't but just promise me you won't hide anything from me again," she told him and he looked like he was about to cry again as he softly nodded his head

"Thank you" he muttered and she stepped forwards into his chest and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist as she buried her head into his chest, his arms went around her neck and he buried his head into his neck, "I Promise"

Kirra had been to several Hogwarts feasts, but never one quite like this. Everybody was in their pyjamas, and the celebration lasted all night. Kirra didn't know whether the best bit was having her friends all hugging her and being able to spend time with all of them (she of course had to continuously shift between the Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and Slytherin table) or Mattheo staying extra close to her all night

When she wasn't at the Slytherin table he was watching her to make sure that she was alright. 

Another amazing thing was Hagrid turning up at half past three, cuffing Kirra, Harry and Ron so hard on the shoulders that they were knocked into their plates of trifle, or the look on her Hufflepuff housemates face when sprout had come into the common room earlier to tell her that she had received 200 points for what she had done.

Though it had been sad when Gryffindor received the house cup it was great to hear that Hufflepuff had received the Quidditch cup once again (her Hufflepuff mates were extremely happy with the girl at this point), but what made the end of the year even better was when Professor McGonagall had been standing up to tell them all that the exams had been cancelled as a school treat ("Oh, no!" said Hermione), or Dumbledore announcing that, unfortunately, Professor Lockhart would be unable to return next year, owing to the fact that he needed to go away and get his memory back. 

Quite a few of the teachers joined in the cheering that greeted this news.

"Well thank god that dick is finally gone, I think I was just about ready to kill him myself," said Nott, helping himself to a jam doughnut. 

"He was a fool, I'm not surprised Dumbledore employed him, the old bat is just as much of a fool as Lockhart is," Draco exclaimed and the Slytherins and surprisingly, the Hufflepuff with them, nodded their heads in agreeance.

"Looks like we have been a bad influence on the little Potter," Blaise stated with a small smirk. The Slytherins all grinned and Mattheo chucked his arm around the girl's shoulder and pulled her into him
