Nicole's pov:
We went to the kitchen and all elves were sleeping in a room, I had never noticed before. Mattheo made me sit on the counter and then rummaged through the fridge and came back with a big box of donuts
"Ooooooo donuts" i said "but wait, how'd you know I wanted to eat the chocolate flavoured ones"
"Remember when we came down here to fetch scrops the house elf for professor sprout? I saw you staring at the donuts, you were drooling"
"Well dont you notice me alot" I said with a smirk on my face.
He took out a donut for me and one for him.
We were eating and there was silence when he said
"You know I am really sorry for your parents"
"Is this about us again?"
"Look I really like you, I am a riddle and I am never attracted to anything and especially anyone. When I walked to the slytherin table, I knew I had seen the most gorgeous woman on the planet, I try to stay away bu-"
I kissed him before he could finish the sentence, we kissed for a while and then I pulled away and started eating my donut.
"Wait what just happened?" He asked, confused
"Didnt I just showed you what you were trying to say"
"What?"
"I try to stay away from you but cant, i cant either theo"
He smiled at me and I lay my head on his shoulder.
Mattheo's pov:
She kissed me. I felt the warmth of her lips attached to mine. She put her head on my shoulder and the next thing I know she was asleep. She was looking so gorgeous and calm. I carried her to the dorm and lay her down on the bed and fell asleep watching her.
Nicole's pov:
Next morning I was feeling amazing. DADA was our first class and it got cancelled because apparently snape had some real important shit to deal with. So I just stayed in bed, playing with mattheo's hair.
He moved a little, rubbed his eyes and said
"Good morning beautiful"
"Good morning handsome"
I kissed him, he kissed back. But he pulled away saying
"Ouch"
"What?"
"Aaah- um its nothing i'll be back in a sec"
"Wha-mattheo-what the hell"
He went out of our dorm running away. What was that?
Mattheo's pov:
The mark, it was burning again. He was calling me, again. Why?
I reached hogsmead, apparated and reached the malfoy manor in my pyjamas.
"Whats the matter father?"
"Did you complete the task"
"Not yet father"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT YET?"
"I havent killed her father, I need more time"
"How much?"
"One week"
"ONE WEEK? Whats taking you so long!"
"I am sorry father. I'll do it but I NEED time!"
"Fine!"
I apparated back to hogsmead and made my way back to the castle. I couldn't get myself more attached to her. I need to kill her, if not today, then tomorrow.
I went back to the dorm and knew that it was time for herbology. I didn't want to face her right now. I just couldnt.
"Where were you?" I heard her as I entered the dorm.
I ignored her. She wasnt smiling. She looked mad.
"Theo I asked you something"
I still ignored her.
"MATTHEO MARVOLO RIDDLE ANSWER ME WHERE WERE YOU?"
She called me by my full name.
"Nowhere" i said
"If you were nowhere you wouldn't have left me. AGAIN."
"Ugh can you stop being so annoying"
"Oh so now i AM annoying? I don't understand you AT ALL! YOU KNOW WHAT. I NEVER EVEN GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU, YOU WERE THE ONE WHO STARTED IT ALL! IF YOU WANTED TO DO THIS YOU SHOULDVE JUST LEFT ME WITH THAT BITCH SCOTT I COULDVE DEALT WITH HIM ON MY OWN BUT THIS IS FUCKING CONFUSING JUST TELL ME ONE THING CLEARLY! DO YOU WANT ME OR NOT?"
I didnt know what to say. I wanted her but couldnt have her. I ignored and left the dorm. I knew I fucked up but what can I even do?
Nicole's pov:
I lay down on the bed and asked myself
"How couldve I been so stupid!"
"How couldve I let him kiss me and play with me like I am a fucking toy, he's a riddle! He cant love."
"So its decided! I wont let him touch me even a little. If he wants this to happen then fine!"
I went to down to the great hall for breakfast. I saw him we made eye contact but I quickly looked away. "You cant nicole" i told myself.
Mandy and ray came up to me
"Hey did you know- nicky, what are all these bruises on your neck" mandy asked
Shit! I totally forgot to cover them up.
"Oh its makeup, nothing to worry about"
"Oh ok but why?" Ray asked suspiciously
I couldnt tell mandy. It would embarrass her and break her heart.
"Its for something dumbledore asked me to do. Never you mind!"
"Ok"
I was walking backwards and joking with ray and mandy when I bumped into harry.
"Are you ok?" He asked catching me.
"Oh ya I am fine" I said. We stood in awkward silence
"So are you still coming to hogsmead to hangout"
"Oh ya"
"Great! I'll see you there then!"
Mattheo was giving his death stare. Scott looked like he was going to murder harry and draco was for some reason, refusing to look at me.
"Hey guys" i said ignoring mattheo and scott.
"Hey girlie, the night was amazing i assume" pansy said smirking.
"Actually no, it was not. It was the worst night ever! I am so glad our dorm's gonna be back to normal tonight!"
Owls soared in the air. I wasn't expecting any letter so I was def surprised when an owl sat on my shoulder holding a letter. I took it from his leg and read it. It was from my aunt!
Dear nicole,
I hope you're doing good. After your parents' deaths I've been very lonely, I hope you visit me soon.
I am writing this letter to you, to warn you about you-know-who's son, mattheo riddle, i suppose is his name, please stay away from him.
He who must not be named wants harry potter and you know about your powers. They are dangerous. But your powers can sometimes go down it makes me shudder to think if his son attacks you and your powers wont be of any use.
Please stay away from him as much as you can.
Love from aunt botty.
My aunt wanted me to stay away from mattheo. I can do that.
We had potions next. I knew I had to stay away from theo so I let all my friends go first.
Mattheo's pov:
I reached the dungeons and sat with blaise.
"Good morning everyone, today we are going to study about a very special potion, does anyone care to explain about amortentia?"
The bushy haired girl raised her hand.
I wasnt paying attention anymore.
"Hey pansy" I whispered.
"What?" She whispered back
"Where's nicole?"
"How the fuck would I know"
"Ugh whatever"
I think the bushy haired girl had already finished explaining.
"Can i come in sir" nicole said
"Miss mazaras youre late"
"Yes i am sorry sir"
"No problem, you can go first, take a sniff and tell us what you smell"
I didn't know what was happening. She took a sniff
"Sir i smell.....
