You're losing me

Innocent

Mattheo POV

"Harry Potter and Mattheo Riddle"

What? Did I just hear my name?

"Harry Potter and Mattheo Riddle" Dumbledore said nearly screaming

Yes. He called me. Draco was looking at me and didn't know what to say. I didn't know neither. For god sake, everyone was looking at me. I stood up and walked to Dumbledore. Potter was standing next to me. He never liked me, I always knew it. Come on, my father had nearly killed him, it was fair enough.

"Go!" said Dumbledore and Mcgonagall touched Potter's shoulder as a sign of compassion.

I was looking for Y/N as I reached the door. I saw her, she saw me. My eyes translated my feelings: I didn't know, I swear.

When we entered the room, Cedric, Fleur, and Viktor were there. Surprised.

"You two! Did someone older than you put your names in this cup? Answer!" Dumbledore screamed. I've never seen him like this before.

"No, of course not!" Replied Potter

"Yeah, we're not stupid." I said

"Don't take this condescending tone with me, young man!" Barty Crouch Sr said, giving me a death stare.

I didn't even talk to him. I didn't even know he was in the same room as me.

"He is lying for sure!"

Miss Maxime was as angry as Croupton Sr. He? Why not them? She believed Potter but not me?

"Harry, you're sure you didn't put your name in it?" Asked Dumbledore, another time.

"No, I didn't I swear"

"And you?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Like I said I'm not stupid"

"I don't think we can believe them." Moody was standing on the side, with his magic eye looking right at me. I rolled my eyes.

"But the spell that protect the cup can't be broken by them. They're only in fourth year." Mcgonagall whispered, or she tried to. I could hear everything she said.

"Yes, you're right"

Severus Snape, Mcgonagall, Dumbledore, and Moody left the room.

"Seriously? You two are just two idiots!" Fleur said with her French accent.

"Calm down, it's not our fault.( I looked at Potter) Well I know it's not my fault. And you're the...."

"Whatever, what I know is that you're going to be in big troubles"

"Yeah like we're not in big troubles every year" I replied sarcastically.

I turned to face Potter.

"You didn't put my name in this cup?"

"Why would I do that?"

"I don't know, but I'm trying to understand"

"Oh and your first deduction is that I put your name in this cup. Don't forget that my name is also on this paper. We're in the same boat"

While he was finishing his sentence, Dumbledore, Snape, Mcgonagall, and Moody came back.

"Alright.(he stopped talking for a moment) Because we can't break the tradition, Harry Potter and Mattheo Riddle are going to participate to the Triwizard Tournament."

I was speechless.

"But I..."

"It will be like that and no otherwise"

I was dazzled by a flash.

"Come on, both of you. I have to take a picture with all the participants!" A woman with a green coat and a pink skirt took our hands and placed us to side with the others. Her outfit was horrible. I tried to smile, I think Potter was doing the same thing. When she finished taking pictures,I left the room. Everyone was looking at me.

Y/N POV:

"Harry Potter and Mattheo Riddle" said Dumbledore for the second time.

I didn't know what to say. Why did their names came out of the cup?

"Come on, Harry, go. Go!" Said Hermione as she pushed Harry.

Everyone was looking at them and everyone was thinking the same thing. I could here all of their thoughts. I tried to focus on mine but theirs were louder.

[It's not a big surprise, Riddle's son is like his father. Of course it's his fault.]

[Why is Harry Potter always involve in this kind of problems. All the time. He wants to be the centre of attention all the time.]

[Traitors.]

[Always them.]

[That's unfair.]

Everything went silent when I saw Mattheo. He looked at me and wanted to say: I didn't know. I swear.

[Why did Harry do that to me?]

Thought Ron.

That was the moment I knew the rest of the year was about to be a bunch of troubles.
I was waiting Mattheo and Harry. Nobody left. They all wanted to see the two "traitors" like they called them. Mattheo was the first one to get out of the room. Everyone was looking at him. Then Harry. I went to see them.

"Believe me. It's not my fault"

"It's okay, I know. Don't worry"

He passed in front of the crowd and left.

Harry didn't even stop. Hermione and I saw he wasn't well. We looked at each other.

[It will be a tough year]

She thought. Yes, she was right.

MATTHEO POV

I reached the Slytherin commun room with Draco behind me.

"Did you put your name?"

"No I did not. Now leave me alone . All of you"

"They say you're going to participate. Is that true?"

I didn't answer.

"If that's true, Potter will not even survive the first task" he said while laughing.

"Me neither. I will die before de second task" I said to myself. Nobody heard me.
