Son of The Dark Lord Chapter 6
Matthias made his way up to Gryffindor Tower weeks later with a small box in his hand. He clicked his fingers and appeared next to Harry's bed, just as the boy was about to climb in. "Matthias!" Harry quickly got over his shock and pulled Matthias into his arms.
"Hey! Good to see you too." Matthias grinned and slipped the box into his pocket. Harry sat down on his bed and pulled Matthias with him. "I brought you something." Harry's eyes lit up and he climbed into Matthias's lap at the boys urging. Harry was stiff in his arms for a few seconds, as he wasn't yet used to Matthias's shows of affection, but gradually relaxed.
"What'd you get me?" Harry rested his head on Matthias's shoulder, slipping his arms around Matthias's waist. Matthias slid the box out of his pocket and handed it to Harry. Harry tore it open and blinked in surprise. A small wolf figurine lay in the center. "What is it?"
"It's a pendant. You put it on a chain and it goes around your neck. This one is special. You can choose to keep it like this, off the chain, or you can put it on one. Both on and off, the figurine is animated. It'll act like a real wolf, and when it's off the chain it will walk around." Harry's face lit up. "Go on. Pick it up!" Harry picked the small wolf up and it came alive in his palm.
"Hello." The wolf cocked his head up at Harry, small tail wagging. "Do you have a name?" The wolf made a whining noise and Harry laughed. "Okay, how about we name you then? I already know a wolf named Moony. How about.Darkstar?" The wolf barked and wagged his tail. "Darkstar it is then!"
"I like it." Matthias rested his head on Harry's shoulder, nuzzling his neck. Harry smiled and set the wolf on the bed. Harry leaned in to Matthias's embrace as the wolf roamed over the bed. "I like you. But I've been.hiding a few things from you." Harry pulled away and slid off of Matthias's lap. He looked at him questioningly.
"What do you mean?" Matthias bit his lip and looked around the room at it's sleeping occupants.
"Silencio." He muttered the silencing charm before turning to Harry. "I'm really sorry Harry. I never meant to get this close to you, and I'm sure my father never meant for me to either."
"What do you mean?"
"I love you Harry Potter. I've loved you for a long time." Harry's eyes widened and Matthias bowed his head. "I'm really sorry." Harry got over his shock and quickly slid his arms around Matthias.
"It's okay." Matthias's arms came up and he hugged Harry. "No need to be sorry. I've felt the same way for quite a while."
"You know I would never hurt you, right?" Matthias pulled away and stared into Harry's eyes. "Right?"
"Of course!" Matthias took a deep breath.
"Remember when I said I was half vampire?" Harry nodded. "I told you it was from my fathers side. I never told you who my father was." He paused. "God, I shouldn't be doing this! I don't want to hurt you!"
"Matthias, calm down. It'll be okay!" Harry took a hold of his shaking hand.
"I don't want to loose you." Harry made some sort of soothing noise and Matthias continued. "My father.he's..he doesn't like you." Harry blinked. "He.wants you dead."
"Don't tell me he's a Deatheater." Harry paled and pulled his hand away. Matthias's face fell.
"No, he's..His name is Tom." Harry blinked again and raised an eyebrow. "Tom Marvolo Riddle." Harry's eyes went wide.
"Voldemort." Was all Harry said. Matthias winced and nodded. "Get out." Harry's face turned cold.
"Harry.wait.." Matthias pleaded.
"GET OUT!" Harry pushed Matthias off his bed and Matthias landed with a thump. "GET OUT OF HERE! GO!" Matthias scrambled to his feet and ran as Harry threw something at him.
"Harry, please! I want to.." Matthias yelped as a book connected with his face.
"GET OUT YOU PIECE OF TRASH!" Matthias winced and looked up sadly. "GET OUT!" Harry threw another book at him and it connected once again with his face.
"Hey, what's going on?" Ron sat up in his bed and Matthias clicked his fingers. He disappeared and the third book thrown at him fell harmlessly to the floor.
