Part 31

Mattheo and I smiled at each other like too children as I put on the ring he'd proposed to me with, it was a beautiful green emerald gemstone.

We quickly ran up towards the castle as we realised we were going to be late to the meeting being held at the manor. I have a bad feeling about this meeting, it was called so quickly and we all have to be there.

We apparate together and we're both swung into harsh wind before we get there. We are met with the eyes of the other death eaters especially his fathers, he looks nervous. Frightened even.

'We must go to battle tonight, Harry Potter is getting close to finding all of my horcruxes!' Voldemort shouts while slamming his fist on to the table.

Mattheo can see the fear in my eyes, we mustn't. We can't.

Hogwarts is my home, my friends are there. I can't attack them. I won't.

'Mattheo, we have to go now.' I whisper into his ear but he doesn't move. I nudge his side and he nods to me slightly. His fathers eyes are now growing in anger towards us, he has most definitely sensed our change of attitude.

My father shakes his head in fear, begging for me not to leave but I have to, I can't do this anymore. When he finally realises that I have to leave, he gives a slight nod. Tears flood to my eyes as Mattheo grabs my hand and apparates back to outside the grounds of Hogwarts.

The last thing I see is my father smiling at me....

By the time we get back to Hogwarts the attack as already begun, we made it just in time.

'What are you doing here Riddle? Came to help your dad' Seamus sneered in Mattheo's face. 'We've came to help, you twat' I spit out harsher than necessary. He just nods and runs to help McGonagall raise the barriers around the castle.

She raises her wand and shouts 'Piertotum Locomotor' which seems to make all of the statues come to life and walk over the bridge.

'We need to separate, ill take upstairs' I say. 'You take downstairs'

'I'll try and help as many students as I can, you help Harry find the Horcruxes' Mattheo agrees.

He kisses my lips softly and whispers 'Stay safe my love'. Which sent a million butterflies to my stomach but now's not the time to be thinking about my fiancé. I'll have all my life to live with the man that I love.

We quickly run off in different directions and that's when I hear the first spells being shot by the death eaters. It's only a matter of time before they'll get through. It's not strong enough to hold off a hundred different witches.

I'm running up the stairs when I see Luna and Harry talking on the stairwell. I swiftly run past all the other students up towards Harry.

'Harry! What can I do to help?' I shout as he looks at me shocked....
