he was a servant really, a piece in Voldemort’s games. He couldn’t leave, even if he got the chance he’d stay to protect you. But in this world love was a dangerous thing- a thing used against people. And when poor old Mattheo screwed up, what better way to punish them by hurting you- and making him watch. So here he was, shoved to his knees at the death eaters mercy as Voldemort did every brutal thing he could to you

“This is my fault! Take me! Please-“ he begged, But it caused no mercy
