"Theo this can't work." I say, tears spilling from my eyes.

"What are you talking about?" He replies.

"You put me in danger. Being around you is dangerous." I cry.

"Nothing will happen to you-" He argues.

"Yeah," I confirm, "nothing will happen to me." I go to leave but he grabs my arm and pulls me back.

"Don't leave," He begs on his knees, holding on my waist.

"This isn't healthy," I say, tears streaming down my face

"This isn't healthy," I say, tears streaming down my face.

"I can change," He grips tighter, "I'll be better, I promise."

"It's not your fault, Theo. This just can't work," I say strongly.

"You don't love me anymore?" He cries, standing and kissing my neck.

"I do love you, Theo. So fucking much." I say.

"Then, stay." He pleads, "I won't let anything happen to you. We can share a dorm, I'll sleep on the bare fucking floor. I will kill for you!"

"That's exactly what I don't want," I say as he creates hickeys.

"No matter what," He assures, "I will kill for you."

He goes to my dresser, picks up my necklace and puts it around my neck where it belongs. "Please." He repeats, hugging me once more.

"I love you," He says.

"Ok, ok, ok," I sigh, kissing him back, "we're gonna make this work?"

"Yes, Baby," He smiles, "thank you, thank you, thank you,"

"Get up," Mattheo says, ripping the blanket off of me.

Shivers fill my body. "Babe," I whine, pulling it back on myself.

"It's 12 o'clock, get up," He groans, climbing on top of me and kissing down my chest, "plus, I have a surprise."

I perk up, "surprise?"

"Get your lazy ass up and I'll show you," He laughs.

"I'm not lazy," I scoff, getting up walking over to the dresser.

I grab out an outfit. "Is that mine?" He asks, pointing out his sweater.

"Mhm," I smile, slipping it on, then putting black jeans on with a black belt

"Mhm," I smile, slipping it on, then putting black jeans on with a black belt. I tuck my wand and phone in my pocket and take his hand as we exit our dorm.

Theodore makes eye contact with me before storming up. "How the hell are you still with him?" Theodore yells.

"What?" I ask, partially shocked.

"He cheated on you!" Theodore yells.

"How would you know that?" Mattheo snaps.

"Oh- I- um-" Theodore stammers.

My jaw drops and I grab Mattheo before he can hit him, "let's go, Riddle,"

He looks darkly into my eyes and I know, if I let him go, Theodore's gonna get hit. We walk silently out of the common room. When we fully exit he yells, "He almost ruined our relationship! Why would you stop me?"

"Because he used to be my best friend, Theo. That still means something." I argue.

"Fine, whatever," He scoffs, keeping hold of my hand as he walks me into the yard. He takes me in the direction of the forbidden forest.

"Theo-" I start.

"Trust me, Love," He assures.

We walk into it, further and further. I make my way up to holding his whole arm instead of just his hand.

"Don't be scared," He smiles. I nod slowly.

He gently let's my arm go and walks forward. Then, he's gone.

"Theo?" I ask.

He walks back through, offering a helping hand. I accept and walk through the shield.

There's a picnic set up. I smile and look at him. There's a tent around us and it's candle lit. "Do you like it?" He asks.

"I love it," I say.

"I love you," He replies, looking me up and down.

"I love you too,"
