showdown


"Nemedlina otkrivaysa v emena valsibstva i mira." I whispered over and over again with my eyes closed. Concentrated on the appearing door.
"That's a Slavic language spell, isn't it?" He rose a brow.
"Yeah why?" I said kicking the door open.
"Nothing just surprised you know these spells."
"Don't ever underestimate me, Riddle."
As we walked through the room of requirement that I've been in many times before, I saw a ticking clock. 5:49. Shit. Stefan.
"I've got to go, I owe you owe you one favor now, so don't waste it." I began to turn around.
"You're sneaking out to Hogsmade at this hour?Youre going to get killed." He said.
"I never said I'm going to Hogsmade."
"Stefan. 6pm.." he sighed staring at the books neatly piled across the dusty book shelves.
"You know these were all my father's." H began.
"I have to go Riddle, bye now." I gulped.
"Let me come with you."
"Why? Are you that worried for my safety?"
"Well you still owe me a favor Giselle Rhodes, rather I'd keep you alive. You're no use dead."
He smirked.
"I can handle myself."
"Can you though."
"I can open a room of requirement, unlike you."

I had now left, escaping my usual way that Enzo taught me through the botanical garden. Nobody saw me. After running through the back of the city and after I had crossed the bridge I reached Hogsmade. Some snow had began falling, and I was smart enough to not bring a jacket. I stood in my school uniform and a oversized Slytherin jumper from the quidditch team that I found in the boys dorm and hadn't given back yet. Still don't know who's exactly it is but whatever. I looked at my watch, 6:01 and I still hadn't reached the correct street. 

A few families were still walking around with their children and no students or teacher were around so I was safe so far. I wouldn't be caught. I swept through tiny and claustrophobic-like streets that were now dark and only lit by dim lamps. The snow hitting my freezing skin, adding to the cold feeling. With my head still turned the other way while walking to check if anyone had seen me I felt a hard surface. Mattheo.
"You followed me!?" I continued walking.
"Yeah I did, and clearly you need lessons on how to dress appropriately for the weather and not bump into people." He said.
"Fuck off. You can't be here."
"And you can?"he said sarcastically.
I had now reached the correct street. I turned to see Stefan waiting, leaning against the brick wall. A dark street, with no lights.

"Look Mattheo I'm going to need you to kindly fuck off and not follow me anymore." I fake smiled.
"Is that a threat?" He said.
I grunted frustratingly and walked towards Stefan, when he noticed me he came running towards me.
His warm embrace feeling like home.

"Stefan! I've missed you

"Stefan! I've missed you. You disappeared for months what the fuck?!" I wrapped my arms around him.
"Yeah about that, wait. Someone's here. Who followed you?" He said worriedly. Stefan had the senses of a hawk. He was the true definition of not letting your guard down.
"That dick." I rolled my eyes.
"Well come out then dumbass." I rolled my eyes.
Mattheo walked towards us.
"Gigi, thats Mattheo Riddle. Voldemort's son." Stefan said grabbing my arm.
"Really? I didn't know." I said sarcastically rolling my eyes and trying to get out of his grip.
"Why is he following you?" Stefan asked.
"To make sure she's safe." Mattheo says reaching us.
"Mattheo this is Stefan, my brother. Stefan this is Mattheo. My- " I paused for a moment. "acquaintance. " I nodded.
They just awkwardly shook hands.
"You know each other." I stated the obvious of their interaction.
"We met when Stefan got marked a few years ago.
"It was quite the experience." Stefan said.
"Well I need to talk to Gigi alone Riddle so nice seeing you." Stefan said putting an arm over me.
"I know she's getting marked. Let me help." Mattheo said in a low voice.
Stefan instantly turned around immediately and his expression darkened.
"You expect me to believe you'd help us. Our family is Voldemort's right hand. You wouldn't risk loosing a strong and powerful follower like her. A Rhodes." Stefan said, his adam's apple croaking.
"I'm your only hope. So believe me or not. There's no other way for you to escape it."
"Alright. Let's go get a drink at Three broomsticks." Stefan said clearing his throat.
Mattheo nodded.
"Can one of you explain what in the bloody hell is going on." I said frustrated.
I was catching up to them. The snow continued to fall and we were all walking through the narrow dark streets.
"ALL RIGHT THAT'S IT! one of you is explaining right now." i stepped infront of them causing them to come to a haunt.
"just listen Gigi, this isn't the time for you stubbornness." Stefan said.
"okay listen here Stef.." i said walking towards him making him backup.
"you were gone. and now you come back. you're just like dad. the man you hate the most. you're becoming him. controlling everyone and everything so shut the fuck up and DO NOT speak to me like a child i've been here the whole time and it's been absolute hell." i said.
"you're right. we'll talk about eveything later. alone. i'm sorry." he said coming in for a hug.
"whatever ugh." i said slightly pushing him away and rolling my eyes in frustration.
"well let's go? shows over bitches." i said.
