Different (Mattheo Riddle)

7

four weeks have passed.

I didn't even say a word to Mattheo. I've been sad. But I didn't show it. One day after class I headed to the Astronomy tower

Mattheo's pov

sat on the Astronomy tower and smoked. I heard someone get up "get out" I said "I said get out-" I saw Jessica.

She said nothing and sat down on the floor next to me and stared at the sky. She looked at me. My heart pounded. She looked at me after four weeks.

She took a cigar from my mouth and  put a cigar in her mouth. She took a cigar out of her mouth and blew smoke.

It looks beautiful. No Mattheo she's Potter. Your enemy. But just because Potter doesn't mean he's my enemy. She should be my enemy, but I couldn't accept her as an enemy.

"I want an explanation," I said. She looked at me with her beautiful green eyes. "I want an explanation for why you didn't tell me you were Potter" I said

"Mattheo it's complicated" she said "I have all day to listen to you just go" I said "if I don't want to" she said. Ugh her classic stubbornness.

"You can't hide it for so long Jessica," I said. She said nothing and looked at the sky “okay” I said. I grabbed her waist and pulled her into my lap. I took the cigar and her hands and threw it away.

"what the fuck are you doing" she said "tell me" I said "come on Jessica what's so bad" I said.

She got up and headed for the fence "wait what you're doing" I said "I won't jump don't worry" she said

"I didn't tell you because I knew you and your father didn't like Harry. I know your father is trying to kill him. And you might you didn't know but all these years he's been trying to find me. If I told you I was Potter you'd hate me. But I didn't want you to hate me because ... "she said

" because? " I said. She looked me in the eye. "because the day you stopped me when I cut my hand, and when I told you everything about myself, you may not know but you were the first person I told you about my problems and what happened in my life. But now  definitely you hate me so- "she said" I don't hate you "I said. I took her hands "you don't" she said "no" I said and I approached her. I wanted to kiss her.

"Mattheo there's something else" she said "what" I said "when I first hung out with Harry he was actually preparing me. Then we found a scar on my waist "she said" you have a scar, like Harry? "I said" yes only mine is here "she said and picked up her shirt. I saw the scar. I wanted to touch it. But Jessica grabbed my hand

" then Dumbledore said I was the only person who could kill your father "she said. I opened my mouth" what ?! "I said." that's why was hanging with Harry, he was preparing me for the day "she said.

I was left confused." and the day I was with your father, I could have killed both you and your father but I didn't "she said and her eyes filled with tears.

She pulled her hand out of mine and left .I went back to the common room. Draco and Tom were there. I sat on the couch and looked at the fire.

"Mattheo, what's wrong" Draco said "she told me everything" I said "what" Tom said "Jessica, she explained everything to me" I said. I told them everything

"and you still have feelings for her" Draco said "yes" I said and lowered my head "you have to stop it Mattheo" Tom he said "but you don't understand me you never felt anything like this" I said "if you don't want to stop it I'll stop" Tom said "what ?! no!" I said "if you do something she will never talk again with me "I said" it and I want it to happen, you can't be with her understand that! "Tom said
