5 years have past. 5 whole years since the battle of Hogwarts & since you lost the love of your life Mattheo Riddle. Everyone didn't think Mattheo would fight for the right side but when it counted he did. He turned against his father to protect you and others. You always believed in him and you had so much hope to have him by your side but in an instant it was all taken from you. As you two were battling a Death Eater they had sent a killing curse to you & you weren't fast enough to get out of the way so Mattheo jumped in front of you taking the spell & dying on the spot. Your world shattered & although your side one the war the weight of Mattheo’s death clung to you. While you tried to be happy it was hard. Mattheo’s best friend Theo did survive & tried to help you after everything and for a bit, it helped but losing the one person you loved the most just weighed you down. Even 5 years later you haven’t moved on. How could you?

You had just turned 22 & went to Mattheo’s grave that night. Taking a set at the tombstone you place a flower down & let out a sigh.

“It’s my birthday today.” You say then pause. “I wish you were here. You have missed 5 of my birthdays since you left.” You continue but choke up trying not to cry then start talking again.

“I hate you for leaving me, everything seems to dull & nothing makes me happy. Ive tried to move on but I cant. Matty I miss you so much.” You say feeling the tears start to slid down your cheeks & you cover your face with your hands letting yourself cry.

As you cry you think you hear the sounds of wings close by & a gust of wind hits you then a voice snaps you out of your grief.

“Always so loyal princess.” You quickly get up & turn to see Mattheo standing there. But he’s more than he was. He had beautiful black wings spread out that glistened in the moonlight. His skin was smooth free of any scares he use to have & you were in complete shock thinking you were seeing things. He smiles & lets out a soft chuckle.

“You’re not dreaming love.”
