Class just finished and I am immediately rushing to Mattheo. I don't really give a shit about our own personal dating problems right now. Madison is dangerous. He needs to know this.

I walk as quickly as I can and practically rip open his dorm door. His room is trashed and he's lying on his stomach, shirtless, sleeping, with one arm draped over the edge of the bed. He's lightly snoring and his curls are messy. I walk over and shake him "Mattheo!"

His eyes shoot open and once he sees me he clears his throat "What the hell do you want Aurora?"

"I think I know exactly who killed my mom." I say quickly "And she goes here."

He sits up and lifts a brow "And who might that be? Didn't we already establish that it might be my father?"

"It's not."

"And how do you know that?" He questions, his voice bitter, his eyes not meeting mine once.

"It's Madison."

He groans "Enough with that shit already."

I scoff "What? What are you going on about? Madison told me—"

"Seriously? Are you just trying to come up with any excuse for me not to talk to her?"

I stare at him "What is wrong with you?!" I shout "Madison is now attending Hogwarts, she's practically a zombie, And she said it was a joy watching my mother die, and it'll be for me too."

His eyes narrow "You think I'll believe that? After all of the crazy shit, you accused me of feeling?"

"I didn't accuse you. You do feel those things. And I'm here trying to warn you that this love of your life is a murderer."

He scoffs and crosses his arms. Rolling his tongue on the inside of his cheek. "Bullshit."

I lift a brow "Really?"

"Yup. Plus, didn't you say it was a former death eater that killed your mother?"

"Well, that's what I was told." I defend "Plus, she literally said it herself that she—"

"Well isn't she a liar? You said it yourself Aurora, she's a liar."

I take a sharp breath "Can you just listen—"

He shakes his head getting up from his bed, and walks towards me "She was right all that time ago. You are a terrible person you know that Diggory?"

I feel tears forming in my eyes but I once again, blink them away—I always do. "Fine. Just know that this is the last time I'll ever speak to you. Ever again."

I can hear his breath hitch and I start to feel bad. But, he deserves this. Even if I don't want to believe that. He moves closer to me our lips almost touching as he lowers down to my level. I can smell the alcohol in his breath. Of course, he's drunk.

"Mattheo—" I began but he cut me off by placing his pointer finger on my lips. "Stop. Stop talking. You're right. I do love her, I'm still in love with her. But I also love you, I know we just met but you aren't her you are—"

I start to breathe heavily and I feel like my heart is gonna beat out of my chest "Stop Mattheo—" I say pushing his hand away and backing up "I can't be with someone who's in love with someone else."

He doesn't say anything else for a couple of minutes. We just stare at each other. "I'll stay away from her." He says "I will. I promise. I'll do anything—"

I shake my head "Stop it..." I mumble

"Please Angel...please. I love you."

"You love the idea of me." I whisper, backing up more "You love that I remind you of her. You don't love me."

"But I—"

I shake my head. "Coming here was a mistake. I have to go." I state, walking to his door. I look back at him for the last time and he's just standing there, staring at me. "Goodbye Riddle," I say before walking out.

I thought that this conversation would end with us at least being civil. Us trying to get Madison out of this school. Out of our lives. But, that's the complete opposite of what just happened. I know something is gonna happen, something bad. Firstly did he forget what Madison said yesterday? 'you'll help your father just like he helped me.'

What does that even mean? We know his father is alive. Which is scary as hell. I leave the Slytherin common room and start roaming around the corridors.

After a couple of minutes, I bump into Cedric. Oh god. I'm not ready to face him. I can't. I immediately turn in the opposite direction but he stops me—calling my name. "Aurora wait up!" He shouts.

I stop and slowly turn to face him. "Hi," I say quietly.

"Hey, I wanna talk about yesterday."

I take a sharp breath "I'm sorry—"

"Don't do that. Don't apologize." He shakes his head and blows out a breath "Look, I know I can be harsh sometimes. But, it's only because you're my sister and I love you. I don't want you getting hurt."

"I know. I know. I didn't mean to get super angry. Yesterday was a really bad day and I overreacted...I do need you and—"

He cuts me off by laughing "What? Why are you laughing?"

"You thought I thought you were serious?"

I huff "Well yeah, you seemed sad—"

"I was upset you said that yeah, but I knew you didn't fully mean it." He says, a smile appearing on his lips. "Hey, it was just one of our fights alright? Don't beat yourself up."

I nod and smile softly "Thank you Ceddie."

"No problem, and I'm sorry about you and Mattheo. I know I hate him and whatever but I can tell you liked him a lot."

I smile softly but it's a slight frown. I hate the topic of Mattheo, especially right now. "Yeah..thanks."

He nods "We should talk to Dad"

"I agree. Did he sleep in your dorm?"

"Yeah, he did but I didn't. I was too angry at him."

I sigh softly and cross my arms "So he's still in your dorm?"

"Last time I checked, yeah."

I nod "Okay," I'm debating on whether to tell Cedric and Madison or not. I mean Mattheo won't help. I'm obviously gonna tell Lilly. But, I don't want her to help, I don't want to put her in any danger. I don't wanna put Cedric in any danger either, he already has this stupid ass tournament to worry about. Yeah, I won't tell him. Yet. I wanna get Lilly's opinion.

"Let's go to your dorm really quick then. I have class in 20"

He nods and we both walk to the Hufflepuff common room. Up to Cedric's dorm. Once we get there Cedric unlocks in and walks in to my Father writing a letter at Cedric's desk.

"Hey Dad," Cedric says.

Dad jumps and turns to look at us. "Oh hey, guys." He says, no emotion in his voice. He doesn't seem to care we are here.

"We wanna apologize for our behavior yesterday. We were just surprised by it, that's all. We love you." I say, Cedric nodding his head in agreement. "Yeah, we're sorry" Cedric adds

Dad hums in response. "Sure thanks."

I turn to face Cedric and lift a brow. Cedric has a confused expression on his face. "What?"

"Thanks for the apology but, I really don't care. Madison said that would happen."

"How come you never told us about her?" I question.

"Your mother told me when you two were born that she passed away." He replies, "So you can see why I didn't care to tell you about someone I thought didn't exist anymore."

What is it with this girl always being dead and coming back?

I sigh and nod "Why did mom say that? Do you know?"

"Your mother has a lot of secrets. Ones that I don't quite know myself. You can say your mother—in a way—deserved what she got."

what?
