Clear My Conscience
Friday, 20 December 1998
It had been a few days since the first attack. and more had been happening by the day. Death eaters were leaving a mark. A warning.
Christmas break started today.
I had spent my whole morning packing with the girls."So you're spending Christmas break with Riddle?" pansy asked.
"Apparently." I mumbled.
"well he's unbearably hot. maybe have sex once or twice. you seem tense lately." she shrugged.
I spit my water out as my eyes widened.
"Pansy!! He's Voldemort's son!" Bonnie raised her voice.
"and what about it?" Pansy said.
"I will not sleep with Mattheo." I said calmly, continuing packing.
"Mattheo?" they both questions in sync, lookin at me.
shit.
"That's his name isn't it?" I said avoiding their obvious concern.
"mhm." they said giggling.——Time skip——
Fog filled the Hogwarts castle gates as all the students gathered, waiting for the old styled train to arrive.
"I'm going to visit the muggle world, I'll bring some weed after the break." said Enzo.
"Jesus, Lorenzo." Bonnie sighed bobbing her head down.
"Don't Listen to Bonnie, she doesn't know how to have fun." said Draco annoyed.
"So Mattheo is coming over to Rhodes manor right?" asked Blaise quietly, almost whispering in my ear.
I nodded. "An order from my parents." I spoke softly.
He nodded and told me to be careful and i simply smiled telling him I'll be fine.The steamy train had come. The early morning England fog made it barely visible to se where anyone or anything was.
Once we had found our compartment and the train had finally begun to move, I sighed in not in relief but in worry. of what was going to happen over the two weeks. What my parents wanted. and if I was actually going to get marked. Worry filled my head and I relentlessly tugged and my long sleeved, tight top. fiddling with the dainty gold charm I had attached to my sleeve, going over the engraved symbols of my family crest. I felt Enzo's cold hand grab mine, putting his thigh closer to mine and cover our hands so nobody else would notice. A smile grew on my face. I looked at his and so did he. Making eye contact with him had never felt so time consuming.
I felt my long slanky fingers align with his larger ones. Our rings compressing against each other.After 7 hours of travel, I felt my body become stiff. Needing to stretch. The train's horn went off, signaling us al to get off.
"we'll all try to write to each other?" asked Blaise smiling.
"for sure." we said, clamming into a group hug.
We all began to walk out separate ways until I felt a hand grab me shortly after. I turned to see his brown hair. "be safe, love you." Enzo hugged me.
"love you too." I pat him on the back.
as we parted I began to walk towards my carriage. I didn't have any flew powder on me since they confiscate those kind of things at Hogwarts. We're not allowed to use it on any occasions till we're 18 really.I head to look for my driver. Richards. He always waited in a matt black Bentley outside platform 9 and 3/4.
Until I felt someone take one of my bags. I looked up to reach his eye level. Mattheo.
"To what do I owe the pleasure." I fake smiled. making it obvious.
"I just helped you carry your bags, you could say thank you." he winked. Then waving to Richards, signaling him.
"How do you know my driver?" I asked.
"I know everything."
"sure you do." I scoffed dropping my bag on the ground as Richards drove the car towards us. Loading it with our luggage.
"Good evening Ms Rhodes, it's lovely to see you as always." he smiled.
"It's good to see you to Richards." I smiled.
"Nice to make an acquaintance, Mr Riddle." the driver said, holding a hand out.
"Thank you, you too." Mattheo said shaking his hand.
We spent the car ride in silence. As we drove, the busy city had changed into a gorgeous green and dark scenery. We sat farther apart from each other, both of us staring out of the car windows. Rhodes manor never felt like home, but it was truly a enchanting place. Surrounded my dark gardens and forests in the south of England. Old money being written all over it.I rested my head on my palms. Looking out of the window.
"We're almost there, you know?." Mattheo said breaking the silence.
"I'm aware of where I live." I said.
"You don't see very excited." he observed.
"Yeah well, Have you met the great Archivald and Margaret Rhodes?" I looked at him.
"Actually, one time. briefly." He said.
"lovely." I sighed.The car pulled up towards the main entrance. I stepped out of the car, breathing in the fresh,cold and humid air. I heard the Mockingbirds chirping, the lullaby indented in my head since my childhood. My skin slightly covering in goose bumps as I grabbed my bag and headed inside. Mattheo following behind me with our things and thanking Richards.
I knew parents were most likely waiting for us in the living room. I was right. My father was in the middle of a bussiness call, while my mother was playing chess with a maid.
"Hello my dear." My mother smiled.
"Giselle. Mattheo. Welcome." my father greeted us.
"father." I said unfazed.
"Nice to see you again Mr and Mrs Rhodes." Mattheo said shaking both of my parents' hands.
"likewise." My father said.
Mattheo was nervous. I saw him hands slightly twitching. His adam's apple moving up and down, over and over again.It was too late for dinner now. Everyone had now gone to their chambers, to get ready for bed. I however never liked having a bedtime. I grabbed a pair of my favorite black boots from my closet, that I've been dying to wear since I'd left for Hogwarts. I hadn't even changed but I needed to go to clear my head.
