The Battle of Hogwarts happened. The school was raided with Deatheaters, and Voldermort followed soon after. Many people died, from both sides.

Mattheo Riddle, your boyfriend of now 2 years, was on his dad’s side. Voldermort’s side. He would’ve killed Mattheo otherwise. It happened before. You were on the good side, because Harry was your brother. You would’ve been killed otherwise.

Everything was chaos, Harry Potter and Voldermort were fighting in the middle of the courtyard while everyone watched. Your eyes were glued to Mattheo, his face bloody and filled with pain. He flinched everytime someone screamed.

In the middle of the battle, he couldn’t take it anymore. Mattheo stopped hiding his pain and limped towards you in the middle of the battle, the spark in his eyes now gone.

You realized you weren’t the only one scarred from the abuse.
