I went over to him and sat down on the other side of the table. “So, how’s it been in Ravenclaw so far?” He asked

“Fine” I replied 

“Just fine?” 

“Yeah, what did you want to talk about?” 

“I overheard some professors talking about how a kid was killed in the forbidden forest last night” 

“Do they know who or why? Do you know what year they were in?” 

“It was a third year, Mattheo’s age. They think a fellow third year killed them but, the killer used the students wand to kill them”

“Why are you telling me this?” 

“Well one, I don’t want you to die and two, I have my suspicions” He looked into my eyes

“Do you think Mattheo did it?” 

“I’m not saying it was him but he disappeared after the feast and came back to the common room past curfew” 

“What house was the student in?” 

“Gryffindor” 

“Why don’t you talk to your friends about this, I don’t know how I am supposed to help” 

“My friends are great but they can be dumb somtimes and they don’t care about Gryffindors” He explained “I trust you, and you are a Ravenclaw after all” 

“Why should I trust you?” 

“Because I trust you and while it might seem like I never liked you, dad didn’t like you and if he saw me being kind with you he would probably never let us see each other again”

I rolled my eyes. “So what can I do?”

“Get as much info as you can by dinner, then meet back up here” 

“You're going to make me miss dinner?”

“Do you have a problem with that?” 

“Not really, just one question”

“What”

“Can my friend help me?” 

“Do you trust her?”

“Yes, I do” 

“Then fine, she can help you” He got up and left.

Indu came over to my table “Are you going to tell me what you two talked about or is it private?”   

I explained everything to her and we started coming with ideas. “How about you can go talk to him and I will stay here and look through a couple books” Indu suggested

“Sure,” I replied. “Let’s hope I don’t get killed.”  

I left the library and ran into Theodore “Y/n, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, I have a quick question for you. Where is Mattheo?” 

“Umm, last I saw him he was in the courtyard with some other Slytherins, why?”

“He’s my brother, I don’t need a reason to see him other than that” I pushed past him and found my way to the courtyard. I saw him sitting under a tree with about five other Slytherins. Other than that the courtyard was empty. He saw me the moment I stepped onto the grass. 

“Well if it isn’t my sister” He greeted

“Your sisters a Ravenclaw” One of the boys asked

“Yeah, I’m a Ravenclaw, do you have a problem with that?” 

“Yeah, I do” 

“Well if you have a problem with me being a Ravenclaw, feel free to keep your opinion to yourself and your mouth shut, you don’t hear me complaining about you being a Slytherin do you?” 

He looked angry but he didn’t say anything else. “Mattheo, can I talk to you?” 

“Sure, you're talking to me right now”

“Alone” I clarified

He stood up and whispered something to his friends then joined me in the hallway “So, what do you want to talk about?” 

“Where were you last night after the feast?” I asked

“In the common room” He replied 

“Where in the common room?”

“What do you mean where?, I was in the common room” 

“Did you go to the forbidden forest last night?” 

“Fine, yes I went but I was with Theodore” 

“What were you doing in the forest?” 

“We were looking for a girl in our year. Her name is Cleo, she’s a Gryffindor. I noticed her leave after the feast and we went looking for her” He explained

“Why?, I thought you didn’t care about Gryffindors”

“I don’t but Cleo and Theo are close friends, they meet on the train first year and have been good friends ever since even though they got sorted into different houses”
