Slytherin Boys Imagines

you get your memory back *after being obliviated*

✦ He smiles lightly "For the past 2 months. When I realized there's no actual cure for obliviate, I needed to find another way."

✦ You shake your head in disbelief "That's incredible."

✦ He furrows his brows "Listen, I know it's not the same as getting your own memories back, but-" 

✦ "Dray, it's perfect." You cut him off with a big smile "It's perfect."

✦ He takes a big breath in relief & returns your smile 

✦ "So what do you say... ready to watch yourself?" 

✦ You look at the pensieve & nod "Let's do it." 

✦ You both lower your heads towards the basin & you can see your friends' memories floating around you...

Mattheo Riddle

✦ "Matt? What are you doing here?" you ask confused. "Are we like... in trouble or something? Why did Dumbledore call us here?" 

✦ Mattheo just grins at you "Don't worry, Y/n, we're not in trouble. At least not that I know of." 

✦ You raise your eyebrows "But where's Dumbledore?!" 

✦ Mattheo comes closer & grabs one of your hands

✦ "Come with me.", he says quietly

✦ "Matt, I don't think we're supposed to-" 

✦ He shushes you "Dumbledore knows we're here. And no, he's not coming. He wanted to give us some... privacy." 

✦ You look at him even more confused "Okay now you've completely lost me. Privacy, in Dumbledore's office? What on earth are you saying, Matt?! It's not like we're gonna-" 

✦ He puts his hand on your mouth to quiet you

✦ "Hey!" you let out a muffled shout

✦ "I'll take my hand away if you let me explain" he whispers with a cheeky grin

✦ You roll your eyes and nod slowly

✦ He frees you and you take a deep breath "So? Do tell then Mattheo" you say and put your hands on your waist

✦ He points towards the pensieve "Do you wanna step into the past with me?"

✦ Your eyes shift to the metal basin "Oh my God... Mattheo" you whisper

✦ He looks at you serious "I wanted to give you your memory back, but... obliviate alters the brain too much. I'd never risk hurting you more. Yet I still wanted to find a way, so I've been extracting memories the past months. From myself, and our friends. I wanted to have as many perspectives for you as I possibly could." 

✦ You look at him in awe but he quickly keeps talking: "Y/n, this way, we could watch old memories of you, together. They're not nearly complete and of course differ from your own, but-" 

✦ You cut him off by pulling him into a tight embrace. "This is perfect.", you say with glistening eyes

✦ You feel him hum as his arms embrace you

✦ "Wait- Dumbledore knows we're doing this, right?!", you ask concerned

✦ Mattheo laughs "He does, don't worry."

✦ "Are you ready to step in, then?", he asks after a while. "Or do you need more time?"

✦ You shake your head "I've been waiting for three months. I'm as ready as I'll ever be."
