Just Matt - Sa16+ Hey everyone :hello: I'm Katie and this is my thrid FF on SS. This is a sequel to Love:Teddy and Victoire Sa16+ about one of the Lupin children - Matthew Remus Lupin. Reading LTV may help with background info but this is the first time I have wrote about Matty. Disclaimer: JK Rowling came up with the Wizarding World and Hogwarts, I made many of my own characters as this is way after the trio's time and the war. Though some characters and relationships were created by her. :D I hope you like it, feel free to comment and ask questions. Oh and don't be bothered if I rant on a lot along with my posts - just go with the flow :glomp: Chapter 1 - Back to Hogwarts (Part 1) ‘Matty hurry up, get down here!’ Shouted Victoire Lupin from the bottom of the steps. ‘Mum I’m coming! One minute!’ He sounded frustrated as he ran about his room collecting some last minute things and shoving them in his trunk. ‘Matthew Remus Lupin, I don’t have one minute!’Victoire’s patience was wearing very thin; she couldn’t handle it. She surprised herself as September 1st was always hectic for wizards, always. Matty ran down the stairs dragging his trunk behind him, his owl cage was balanced on top of it and the bangs against the flooring told the whole neighbourhood that he was finally ready to leave. ‘Thanks Matt, we’ll probably be late now.’ Sneered Evie, one of his big sisters. ‘Yeah, no different from last year.’ Huffed Violet, Evie’s twin. ‘Girls, stop moaning – we’ll make it.’ Said their father, Teddy Lupin. ‘Vic is Tom ready to get in the car?’ ‘Tom! Where are you?’ Yelled Vic, she needed to lie down. ‘Coming Mummy. I was brushing my teeth.’ He jogged into the living room, clumsily banging off of the coffee table and out the front door. The Lupins left behind Thomas and got into their car. They were on their way to Kings Cross Station where three of their children would get on board the Hogwarts Express. Evie and Violet were starting their fifth year and Matt his second. Tom still had three years to go as you had to be 11 to attend Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. All of them were Metamorphagus except Matt; he was just your regular wizard with scruffy, dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. For their first day back the girls had opted for blue, straight hair that flowed down their backs. Matty seemed OK about this but he wasn’t overly thrilled that he was plain. According to him plain was lame. Nobody noticed him as much as they did his sisters. Few people knew they were siblings at all. When the family rushed on to Platform 9 a lot of faces turned to see what the rabble was. Matthew had dropped his owl cage and Dusty flew out it, squawking uncontrollably. ‘Matthew we don’t have time for this, pick up your stuff. We’ll meet you at the other side.’ Vic walked towards the wall between platforms 9 and 10 and whispered to the girls, ‘Silly boy. So clumsy.’ ‘Matt, you know she’s just stressed. She’s had a hard time at work and it’s a bad day. She doesn’t mean that.’ Ted squeezed his son’s shoulder and nudged Tom. ‘Come on Tommo, let’s go.’ ‘I’m Thomas Billy Lupin, not Tommo.’ ‘OK, Thomas Billy Lupin let’s go. That better?’ Teddy laughed to himself and he ruffled Tom’s black hair. ‘Lay off the black Tom, I went through that faze once – didn’t work out.’ ‘What about this Daddy?’ Tom screwed up his face and really concentrated. His hair began to get lighter and lighter until it stopped at indigo. ‘Very handsome.’ Chuckled Ted, stepping through the wall behind his wife. ‘Show-off.....’ Whispered Matty to himself. ‘Are you talking to yourself? First sign of craziness they always say.’ Matt’s second-cousin James was strolling towards him with Mia in his arms. He laughed as Matt looked up and smiled. ‘Hey Jay! How are you?’ Matt took the two year old Mia from her father’s arms and held her to his chest. They were really close; he had even been allowed to babysit her during the summer. ‘Don’t ask him Matty, he’ll rant on and on. That’s one of the questions I regret asking him everyday.’ Chris walked toward them and giggled as Jake ran towards the wall where he would soon see the Hogwarts Express as his mode of transport to Hogwarts. ‘He didn’t sleep for excitement last night. It was cute.’ ‘Cute? Did you fall off a broom and hit your head? It was mental last night. Because he wasn’t in bed but jumping up and down Mia hardly got any sleep, she wouldn’t sleep on the way here either.’ James complained as Christie rolled her eyes. ‘See what I mean Matt?’ She laughed and walked towards her son. ‘Where is everyone?’ ‘They left me, again. They weren’t patient enough to wait.’ Grumbled Matthew as he picked up the rest of the owl treats and called Dusty back into her cage. Matthew walked through the wall holding Mia and Dusty’s cage in his arms with James balancing his trunk on Jake’s cart. The Hogwarts Express came into view and Matt’s face lit up, it was the best thing he had saw in a long time. He was finally going back to school. Well?? |
AHHH! Katie its up! The sequals up. And I love it! PAMS Dear! Soph xx p.s woooow- First reader :woot: |
Ah it's up:woot: I didn't even notice!!! If not for your text Soph:lol: Enjoy reading and commenting everybody!! K x |
Yay! I'm glad your sequel's up! And it is quite a good start! ^_^ I feel super bad for Matty; he must feel all alone since he's just "plain lame". I'm excited to see where you take this! Fantastic post, Katie! Please PAMS! :glomp: *Goes to subscribe* |
Hey lookie lookie. It seems the gang is meeting at another new spot. Looks like good company for a good read. Katie, it looks like it's going to be another great story. I'm thinking the same as Emily. Matty seems like a very sweet boy. I love the way the he is with the baby. I'm anxious to find out what happens that makes him know he isn't just plain. Very nice start Katie. I'll be reading, but please don't think ill of me if I don't comment each time. I will when I can though.:glomp: |
Dawwww! Matt, I know how you feel, let's be bestest friends ever!!! <3 lol! I'm soooo glad it's up! I squealed so loudly when I read the pm.. I feel so bad for Matt though, and I LOVE James, he's completely hysterical! |
ha! that was cute. looking forward to more! |
Happy New Year!! I'm not very happy about this because I totally just changed what I wanted this to be about and I haven't thought it out very well at all:lol: Anyways enjoy and don't be afraid to ask questions. (You will probably have to.) Chapter 1 - Back To Hogwarts (Part 2) Matt found his friends on the train and they all had a good laugh with one another. They talked about their holidays and where they all went to. Josh went to Spain and toured the historical wizarding sights, Ben went to France and swore he saw Beauxbatons – which is impossible – and Darren went to Cyprus with his Muggle family and lay on the beach, how exciting. Matty’s summer hadn’t been very good at all; it wasn’t the break he had been looking for. He stayed at the Burrow, the home of his great grandmother Molly and he worked in his Uncle George’s shop in Diagon Alley. He got paid for the work he done and it got him out his house. His sisters had been annoying him more than usual lately, it might have been due to the fact that he had told James about their boyfriends thus Christie inviting them for dinner. It was beginning to get to him because they were downright bullying him. His sensitive side was never talked about to the guys. They thought he was tough, Quidditch player through and through. Gryffindor goalie but he had a bit of vulnerability. Hogwarts was where he felt special, home was a hell hole. Hogwarts had one person in it that knew about Matt’s family and how he felt about them. She was very special and Matt never failed to realise this. She was, smart, funny, talented, a great friend and forbidden. None of the Lupin children were to speak to her; this was difficult for Matt as he couldn’t stay away for too long. They met secretly so that his sisters would never find them; they seemed to have eyes everywhere as their posse did their bidding, always. Her name was Alexa Fiddle, daughter of Robert Fiddle, ex-Quidditch legend and current criminal, and Amelie Thomas, ex-Daily Prophet writer and current loony. After her father had served three years for assault and bribery of an innocent woman, Victoire Lupin, he had gone back to his ex-fiancé. They had Alex then Rob was sent to prison yet again for using the Cruciatus curse on young Muggle girls before sexually assaulting them. Teddy and Vic thought Alex was some sort of crime filled wacko because her mum had went crazy after her dad was sent away; they had no idea that she was a genuinely great witch and their son’s best friend. Matty thought about Alex throughout the journey but his train of thought was spoiled by a buzzing in his pocket. He sulked then when he saw the text message he smiled again. Mobile phones were common for the wizarding world now and they made common appearances in Hogwarts since the charm had been lifted to stop Muggle technology working. The students had made the teachers modernise with a petition and protests which were of course peaceful. She wanted to meet him at the end of the train near the Prefects cabin so he made the toilet excuse and rushed off to see Alex. It's short and not well written but oh well. I sound really whiny but I'm genuinely unhappy with it! Well????? |
Nah, I liked it! I think it's funny how you've brought Rob's daughter into the story. Very dramatic filled, which I love ^_^ Great post! And I'm glad to hear that Rob's in prison and Alex isn't anything like him. ;) Great post! Please PAMS! ^_^ |
Happy New Year to you too Katie xx Quote:

Post 3 I thought I should give you all a post since I'm back to schol tomorrow and posts will be few and far between. Here is the last of a regular:lol: Chapter 1 - Back To Hogwarts (Part 3) As Matt got closer to the end of the train he began peering in compartments looking for Alex. When he got to the very last one he peered in to see her sitting alone on a seat. Her brown hair was up in a bobble and her round cheeks were wide with happiness when she saw him. She stood up and put her arms around his neck, Matty stood there in shock until he remembered to hug her back; he gave her a light squeeze around her waist and pulled away. ‘How are you?’ Alex asked as they both sat on the comfortable seats. ‘Oh I’m fine, bit annoyed about this morning but you don’t need to know. We’re here now, away from everything. You?’ ‘I had a problem this morning too, you might be brave enough to hold yours in but I have to get this out in the open.’ Her voice seemed rushed and panicked and her breath was sharp as she looked at Matt, waiting for a response. ‘OK, go for it.’ ‘Well, I woke up because of this racket going on in the kitchen. I rushed down and mum was throwing pots and bashing utensils off the surfaces. She was having a crazy moment but I couldn’t do anything, she could have killed me. My dad had sent her a letter from Azkaban saying how he loved us both and he can’t wait to be home. Mum was cursing and shouting about how he’ll land himself back there as soon as he’s out and she was going mental. The letter was on the floor, right in the corner so I made to pick it up and read it but she went mad. She launched a pan towards the corner I was standing in – ‘ ‘Did she hit you?’ ‘No no, I ducked, I’m fine. Anyways she refused to bring me to Kings Cross so I was going to call you but obviously your parents would never have let me and so I called Jess and her Dad took me in his car.’ ‘I’m just glad you’re here and healthy.’ ‘Me too, now I feel bad for you not sharing your problems. Go on, you can tell me anything.’ ‘No, honest, I’m fine. What have you been up to since we saw each other last week then?’ They had met behind the joke shop when Matty was working and then he had served her when she bought some tricks and pranks. They had done this a few times over summer as not many people noticed as they were too busy shopping. Alex described visiting her grandfather Dean Thomas and how she thought that he might be ill and he just wasn’t saying. Dean was special to Alexa as he was the only sane person left in her family. She loved visiting him just to get away. They continued to talk and laugh and share but the pupils around them were moving about getting ready for Hogsmeade. Black robes trailed behind everyone as they peered into the glass doors, staring at Matt and Alex. ‘We had better change Matty and plus people are beginning to stare.’ Alex pointed out, standing up and sliding the door open. It was common knowledge that is you saw them together there might be a duel but of course between Al and Matt this wasn’t usual. ‘I’ll see you later, do you want to meet up after dinner?’ ‘What about Midnight Chess again, same as last year?’ ‘Sounds great but I thought that was Wednesdays?’ ‘We’ll change it, Mondays?’ ‘OK, see you in the common room; I’ll text you to wake you if you need it.’ ‘You know I probably will.’ Well? Hope it was OK :\ |
OMG that's so cool! ROB HAS A DAUGHTER!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! ?!?!?!!!? what kind of idiot woman would have a daughter with that mental pervert?! an insane, so-crazy-it-makes-me-want-to-vomit kind of idiot woman PAMS PAMS PAMS!! i want to see what happens with Matty & Alex!! |
Hello Katie. You're doing a very nice job with your writing, and presenting the story. I hope you start liking how you're writing it soon. Even if it wasn't the direction or the way you had it planned. Sometimes you just feel a change all of a sudden, and you go with it. And who knows, you may be able to incorporate what you had in mind for the story originally later on. I think sometimes you just feel things and know it has to be a different way for a while at least. Quote:
Nice work Katie. I'll be watching for your next post. And of course I know your studies come first. So don't be pressured about us waiting on pins and needles waiting to see if anyone reported to the sibblings and cousins they were seen. I'll be watching for your next.:glomp: |

Hola!:hello: Hope everyone is doing well !! :glomp: Chapter 1 - Back to Hogwarts (Part 4) Classes began and Matt and Alexa were getting more tired by the minute. Essays were to be written and books to be read but it felt like there was no time in the day for it all. After the last class of the day on the Thursday Matt was walking along a corridor while texting Alex, she wanted to meet him outside the Gryffindor Common Room. She said: Quote:
Matt was walking near a tapestry while he got this text but as he read it he received another. Quote:
So Matt turned back round and walked the other way, away from the common room, just wishing he could see Alex when it wasn’t dark. Quote:
Matt spun around and lightly jogged along the fifth floor corridor towards Alexa. He kept going until he heard a strange noise. It was like the grinding of stone or when something very strong crushed a boulder into dust. The walls were separating to reveal a round room will many large sofas and what looked like a small kitchen. Matt peered over his shoulder and round the corners to check if anyone was watching then walked into the room. There were many large windows that the autumn sun was beaming through, never in the dark. Matt chuckled to himself and moved towards the kitchen area. He opened cabinets that were stocked with many sweets and juice. There was even a cold pantry type cupboard that had ice cream in it. Matt walked about a little more and peaked into doors thatheld bathrooms and cupboard full of potions supplies, games, pillows, duvets and much more. He felt like he had been in the room for ages but in fact he hadn’t, it had been ten minutes but it was so big and interesting he imagined he had been there longer. He had been so intrigued that he must have thought he was there for ages. He walked out and dialled Alexa’s number, this was no occasion for a text message. ‘You have to come here, now!’ Matt shouted down the phone while running towards the Gryffindor Common Room. ‘Quickly, I need to show you something.’ ‘Where are you? Are you OK? You were supposed to come here, it’s nearly been quarter of an our and you didn’t reply to my texts.’ She sounded slightly angry as she hissed down the phone. ‘I know I, erm...I got side tracked. For a good reason of course, you are going to like it. I’m next to the tapestry on the fifth flor, in the corridor. I’ll meet you halfway. Run.’ They both ran towards each other and Matt grabbed Alex’s arm and pulled her towards the wall. ‘I don’t know how, but there is a room behind there. I don’t know how it works, or why or how it knew what I wanted but it’s a room – ‘ ‘The Room of Requirement.’ Alexa whispered. ‘What? You know about this?’ ‘Well, I didn’t know it existed but I’ve heard of it. My Grandpa Dean used to tell me stories about secret meetings where groups of students would learn spells from the Chosen One. This was the venue for the class.’ ‘That sounds familiar actually, but it’s a very vague memory of a story that my Great Aunt Ginny told me.’ ‘Well that makes sense seen as she was there. So were Ron, Hermione and obviously Harry. Loads of people went because of Professor Umbridge.’ ‘I don’t know how it works though! I don’t even remember how it all happened!’ ‘I remember some parts. I know that you have to think about what you want the room to create. You have to think specifics...ermm..well, what were you thinking before?’ ‘I was frustrated at my sisters. I just wanted to see you..I well, I missed you.’ His cheeks were going a crimson red but he continued. ‘Of sick of seeing you when it was dark, in the dead of night and I, I just, I had to see you.’ ‘Really? You wanted to see me you brought the Room of Requirement out of retirement – oh that rhymes. Never mind about that. So think it again.’ She sighed, sounding kind of disturbed that he had thought of her like that. To be polite she replied in a whisper, ‘I missed you too.’ ‘Is that it then? I just have to think it?’ When Al nodded her head Matt concentrated really hard and stared into her eyes. ‘I don’t think it’s working, try and remember what your papa told you.’ ‘I’m trying Matty.’ Nothing happened until Alexa squealed with delight and screamed out, walk along the corridor three times and think about the room.’ The room appeared and they both stepped through. ‘See?’ Whispered Matt from behind Alex. He put his hand on her shoulder and steered her to the kitchen. ‘Incredible!’ She spun around and got a full view of the whole room. ‘The windows are just like the Ministry aren’t they?’ ‘Yeah, I guess they are. I never thought of that.’ They walked towards the large windows that ran the length of the walls. Matt’s head jerked up as he thought of something. ‘Al, I get it now. It’s never going to get dark in here. We can see each other in the light of day.’ ‘Oh Matt! It’s fantastic!’ She flung herself onto a large grey couch and Matt threw a large white pillow at her. ‘Hey! I wasn’t armed!’ So, the pillow fight started. There were plenty more in the cupboards anyway. Hope you enjoyed it!!:D |
Dawww, I'm a little less suspicious of Alexa now.. I love the update, it's really AWWWWEEESOME! Quote:

Thanks Connie. I felt kinda weird writing them so old, I mean Harry and Ginny are grandparents, I never thought I would write that but that's what happens. I'm so used to the Hogwarts trio:lol: I like a wee pillow fight myself:P Announcement I have my laptop back now but it has to be used for my English essays and study purposes and I am still sharing a charger.I am trying to keep fit, got loads of rehearsals for Hairspray and I have begun studying for my exams in May so writing time is limited. It's not fair on you guys, you are all great commenters and such loyal readers and you don't deserve the wait but that's life!! :( I had a post prepared but it was a load of rubbish, I have a kind of plan but at the moment getting it onto paper is proving to be difficult. Love you all!!:glomp: K xx |

Thanks Gabby!!:glomp: I might post this week but I have studying and homework to do and I have started to write a book :lol: I know, it's kinda funny because I'm not very good at writing but it's worth a shot. I know Sophie might moan because we are actually off school so I can write plenty but I am studying. Exams in May *shivers* !!!! I'm thinking of rushing this stage in Matt and Alexa's life and skipping till they are like 5th year. Is that OK? Love you all :loved: K xx |
STUDDYING! Why? Exams are miles away... See what happens when I get scared. OMG!!!! We have our maths premlim in 7 days or something! Ahhhh! And stupid Mr.B has yet to give us pass papers, but I think its safe to say that my whole class are going to fail :D So yes, you predicted the future Sophie Bubbles is moaning. When I seen you had one of those wee ticked boxes beside your thread I was like Wooo! Kit Kat has posted......But you hadn't so....Soph is Sad :( Though you know how patient I am....:lol: So I'll be waiting on that post my dear. Cherio Dearest Soph is out! xx |

Thanks! :D OK, so I have decided I am going to skip a bit. I regret putting them in 2nd year, kinda stupid because I need to move things along. That alright? K xx |
Yes it is ok! Considering you were thinking of not continuing with this, so personally, I'm extatic that you are writing! S x |
It's ok by me. Bring on the next bit, from wherever you skip to. Just try to make an easy transition for us. :glomp: |
OK. I'm not usually rubbish at keeping promises but for this story I am. I hope the thread doesn't get taken away from me because I really do want to post :) I'm going to rant about all the stuff I need to do now: -5 English essays for Friday -Practice for my music exam on Friday -Learn lines for Hairspray nad attend rehearsals -Write a composition for music -Study for exams that begin in May -Try and write this! I probably sound like a real moan but I am so busy :\ This weekend I might squeeze in writing space but I have to write my compostition because I am behind schedule. Next week should be less hectic! Love you all :loved: You may not believe me but I honestly do :glomp: K xx |
Quote:
And is that the composition I finished last May OMG! What are we going to do with you :lol: And you'll be fine tomorrow, so stop stressing!!! Love you too dear! :val5: S xx |
Guess what?? I'm writing this FF just now!! :woot: K x |
Hey Katie, don't stress yourself! You don't want to ruin your creativity or any of your school work due to stressing. This ff will be here. It won't get taken from you. If you don't post a new chapter or even part of one in the time period given, just ask for it to be brought back. The moderators are very human and they too have loads of things to stress over. So, I know they will be more than happy to bring it back out for us, I mean you. Take it easy, and best of luck with all you're involved in.:glomp: |
This is just a catch up thing. Its short but it lets me continue with the story. :D Chapter 2 - Life and Decisions (Part 1) Second and third year passed and the Room of Requirement was still the usual meeting place for Matt and Alex. They were still close but not as close, it was strange; almost like their parents were rubbing off on them. They had suffered a couple of arguments and this had put a strain on their friendship. Matt hung around with Darren and Josh a lot now and they knew some of the stuff that went on at home. He was able to open up to more people. Alex had found friends in some girls in her House, Ravenclaw, Annie and Sophia. They were really nice and they did the things that Alex enjoyed instead of the stuff she did with Matt. It was 4th year now and they had much bigger workloads. OWLs were coming up in fifth year and they both had limited time to see each other. Matt had a hard time in third year, with the loss of his Great Gran Weasley but everyone was beginning to cope. She was just the type of woman you never expected to die. Uncle Charlie had said at the funeral that he was pleased that she was with Arthur, the man she loved. Which was true of course, neither of them was alone. Alexa’s granda Dean was really the only person she had. She said he taught her everything she knows. She wrote to him once a week and one week she got a shocking reply. Her mother, Amelia, had been taken to St Mungo’s. She had performed a charm which Healers presumed had backfired. After further investigation, they realised she had meant for it to hit her. The charm had not killed her but had paralysed her from the waist down and she was extremely depressed, she had wanted to die. She had a permanent stay in St Mungo’s. During holidays Alex stayed with Dean or in Hogwarts. Matt was beginning to feel differently about things. He was nearly fifteen and Alex was starting to feel more than a friend. The only worry was that she wasn’t feeling the same way. He couldn’t confide in anyone which was hard and he doubted himself. He just thought he was average, nothing special. He was desperate to tell James or Chris but knew they might not approve. One Saturday afternoon he was sitting in the shade near the Gamekeeper’s hut when he finally decided he needed to tell her. It wasn’t like they were too young, they were mature and could handle a small relationship. It wouldn’t be extravagant and he knew it would be difficult. He wanted it to work. Hope it was OK. xx |
O.M.G! GOOOOOO MATTY BOY! You lieky Alex, I kneeeeeew it.. Haha, I didn't really but still. And Rob, this is all your fault, IT IS! And they get into fights? I'd be heartbroken if that happened to me, dawww, poor them! And I luuuuuuve Charlie *huggles and is sad* SHEEEEEE CAN'T BE DEADED! Lovely update, I looove it! Haha. |
Hey Katie. :) I made it finally. I had to go back and reread the story. I read it when you posted it, I just wanted to read it again before I commented. I had forgotten that you was going to move the story along. But it's great. I think for the relationship he's wanting to get into, even a small one, they needed to be more mature. I'm glad you did this. It is so sad to think of the Weasley's being dead. But that's the way things happen. At least they died in a time of peace. It's a shame about Al's mom. She really did need to be committed. Did Rob have anything to do with causing her tantrum? Are they sure it was her that did the curse and not him using her wand, and then leaving before anyone saw? Last we knew he was getting out of Azkaban. Just curious.:P Nice bringing us up to date. I'll be watching for your next PM of for your next post. :glomp: |

She is dead, I know it's sad but think about it. They were ancient! Thanks:glomp: Quote:
Yeah, it's good they weren't killed during war or anything. It's strange for me to write this because everyone is so much older. Thanks :glomp: Quote:
Molly did die! It's lovely that they are together. I will try to post but it could be a while. Thanks:glomp: |

Hey. So i am writing a post just now. It could take a while to write it as its pretty long. Its actually my last Teddy/Victoire post. It contains snippets of what could have happened had i not given up. |
OK, so this is half of what I had planned to be the last post. I haven't completed writing it all so I am posting this for now. This is the penultimate part of Teddy and Victoire. The first thing I saw was her hair, how it was able to sit perfectly when she had confessed to me that she can never be bothered brushing it was mesmerising and I caught myself pulling out of a trance. It was after I rubbed my eyes for a moment that I noticed she was speaking to someone. I recognised the face but I couldn’t put a name to it. I was sure their house was Hufflepuff and I was pretty sure they had annoyed me in a couple of classes. Alex looked pretty busy, it seemed like a pretty full conversation. I approached the end of the corridor where Alex and her friend were standing. The friend looked up and met my eyes, it looked like they gulped nervously then glanced at Alexa and nodded in my direction. ‘Matt! Hi, what can I do for you?’ Al asked happily. She seemed pretty hyper which was quite common these days. ‘Well, I actually wanted to ask you something in private. You know, uh, where no one else can see us.’ I sounded like an idiot but it was now or never. ‘Sure, OK. But first I would like you to meet my new boyfriend. This is Paul, Paul this is Matt.’ ‘Al, I wouldn’t say new. It has been 23 days already.’ This line made me vomit in my mouth but it made Alex giggle like a six year old who had just met their favourite fairytale prince. And believe me, Paul was no Prince Charming. ‘Hey Matt, how you doing?’ ‘Yeah, eh good thanks.’ It was all I could say to the guy. I turned to Alex and looked for any sign of a joke.... Nope, nothing. ‘Oh, 23 days. Wow, that’s erm great I guess. Bit of a shock if I’m honest. You didn’t tell me anything.’ ‘Matty, don’t be silly. I talk to my girl friends about that kind of thing.’ Alex smiled up at Paul who was possibly a head taller than her. ‘Oh and Matt, Paul knows about us. Don’t have to worry about him saying anything about this conversation.’ ‘Oh, you told him, oh alright. We haven’t ever actually told people before, right, erm, OK. Well, I guess I should, err, get going. Leave you two alone, you know.’ ‘No Matt, you wanted to speak to me about something. You can say it in front of Paul. Don’t worry his lips are sealed.’ ‘It doesn’t... it doesn’t matter anymore Alexa. Just leave it, never mind. I’ll see you later OK?’ ‘Actually I’m hanging about with some Hufflepuff people at dinner tonight. Then we are studying in the library together. You could come if you liked.’ ‘Oh no, it’s fine. You go and erm have fun, you know, studying.’ I walked away and it wasn’t for a few days that I spoke to her again. I wasn’t angry at her or jealous or anything. I was just humiliated, and heart broken. ............ My OWL results had come in and they were pretty good. They were better than both of my sisters which I was elated by. Not that my parents noticed or anything. James and Christie did, which was nice to know, they gave me some money as a reward which I saved for trips to Hogsmeade throughout the year. The train was the same as it was every year. Things were different with the family now though, Tom was at Hogwarts and the twins were working. If you can call it that. They share an apartment in London, which of course is paid for by my parents, and they work in Madam Malkins at the money till. I knew they weren’t the quickest snitches but seriously, Madam Malkins? What about the Ministry? Working at a desk sorting letters for ministry officials was better than that. Alex and I rarely spoke, an occasional ‘how are you?’ or smile in the others direction but nothing more. Paul was still around and I couldn’t face him. Something about him was off and I just hated seeing them all loved up. It was obvious he cared about her a lot and she was head over heels for him. The devastating part was that I knew she would never feel that for me and I couldn’t ever do things with her that Paul did. There were rumours circling around the year that they were the power couple and that they would last outside of Hogwarts. It was rare for this to happen but every gossiper was betting on it. ........ There were many girls crying and hugging one another while I stood there like a total idiot, I didn’t know where to put myself. Darren and Josh were over the other side of the Entrance Hall kissing their girlfriends, comforting them which really meant that it was all for the guys’ pleasure. They were very scheming boyfriends; they knew that if they ‘comforted’ the girls now they would get really good thank you kisses later. I didn’t have a girlfriend, sometimes I felt lucky because the guys would always winge about how clingy they were or how they always wanted presents. Most of the time I felt like a loner; I had little self esteem and whenever a girl spoke to me my hair went bright red. What a turn-on! ‘Matt, wakey wakey.’ Alex giggled from behind me. ‘Sorry, I, erm, daydream.’ ‘Yeah, can I speak to you?’ ‘Sure, what’s up?’ ‘Well, it’s just that... actually could we go somewhere quieter?’ ‘Yeah, this way.’ We headed towards an empty classroom and I sat down in a seat. Expecting to see her right next to me I looked up to find Al still standing at the door. She had tears in her eyes and was murmuring something. ‘Can we, can we go to the Room of Requirement please? I miss it, I haven’t been in such a long time.’ She was able to say clearly before she came towards me and held my hand and pulled me along the corridors to the Room. ‘Alex, what is it? Are you alright?’ ‘Yeah, umm, I just have to ask you something and tell you some stuff. I’ve told Paul but all he does is kiss me and he expects everything to be fine.’ ‘OK, well, I’m sure it’s not that bad.’ ‘Well, it kind of is.’ ‘Right, go on then.’ I said as we flopped down onto the couch. ‘Well, my mum is dead, so is my Granda. Mum killed herself and she wrote me a letter saying that she should have never had me. I stressed her out supposedly. I’m old enough to live on my own now obviously but I feel lonely. My friends won’t speak to me, they said I ignored them because of Paul.’ ‘Do you ignore them?’ ‘I guess, but not on purpose.’ ‘Right, is that all you need to tell me? I, erm, need to go. Are you OK?’ ‘I feel better Matt. Thanks, Paul was saying I was grumpy and he got upset when I wasn’t excited this morning.’ ‘Excited? About what?’ ‘He asked me to marry him.’ .................. I hadn’t slept since the last day of school, I was in complete shock. Not just because she was engaged but it was because I had missed a whole chunk of her life. A massive chunk – I should have been there to help her. When her Granda died she needed me but I didn’t have the guts to speak to her and then when she read that letter she would have been hysterical. I just couldn’t imagine how she was feeling. Hearing that Paul hadn’t been much help made me angry. He obviously had no problems – his life must have been perfect. I felt sick as I walked down the street towards the Ministry. I was going to start Auror training and I had also gotten myself a job handling paperwork for the front entrance of the Ministry. As the training didn’t pay I had to find a way to pay rent on my basement apartment just outside of London. It was part time but it was enough. Granny Molly had left me a little bit and I had many savings from babysitting and working in the joke shop. I had converted some so that I was able to pay my Muggle landowner. I decided to call James and ask about how he was so that I didn’t think about myself. He eventually picked up and talked about how Mia was driving him insane. Chris had to go to work early and Mia, being almost eight, had begged him to play princesses like her mummy usually did. I couldn’t help but laugh which made Jay very displeased. He had said he still had glitter hanging from his eyelashes so that his vision was blurred. Of course this made me laugh even more until James had to ask me how I was. This made me open up. I opened up everything. I told him about Alexa and who she was, I told him I loved her, I told him she was engaged, I said that she had spoken to me and that I felt like a complete fool for giving up all those years ago. ‘Matt, have you ever told anyone about her before?’ ‘No, never. I considered telling you before but I wasn’t sure if you would be mad. She’s forbidden, totally off limits. I just couldn’t help myself, couldn’t stay away.’ ‘I’m not mad that you love her and were her best friend, I’m angry that you never told your parents that you were friends with this girl.’ ‘I couldn’t exactly walk into the living room and say ‘Alexa Fiddle is my best friend’, could I?’ ‘That’s exactly what you could have done.’ .................... ‘Dad, I need advice.’ ‘Oh?’ ‘Yeah, I know it’s the first time so don’t worry if you don’t want to.’ ‘No, no, go ahead. What is it?’ ‘Well, I know you and Mum had a rough story and I was wondering, how did you get her back?’ ‘Well, I, I just showed and told her how much I loved her I guess. She realised how much she had missed me and she loved me. But remember that doesn’t happen for everyone.’ ‘I know Dad. So you just told her you loved her?’ ‘Kind of, it’s more complicated than you might think.’ ‘You’ve never told me what happened. You haven’t ever told me anything.’ ‘Don’t be so silly, of course I did.’ ‘Yeah, yeah. Must have been pretty bad memory loss I had Dad. You know what, I don’t want your stinking advice, just leave it.’ ‘Fine, you give up on any type of relationship we could have had. I wanted to be a good father, I did. But you know what? I messed up. Your sisters didn’t have a proper Dad. I was an awful parent to them, they were my little angels but I didn’t know how to tell them so I got them things. I made them happy with material things.’ ‘What about me? You left me out! It has nothing to do with the fact that I’m a boy! Don’t give me that muck! Tom’s fine! I got forgotten about!’ ‘We didn’t forget you, how can you forget your own kid?’ ‘Look in the mirror and say that again! Staring back will be the person with the bloody answer!’ I made my way to the front door with my fists clenched. I could never hit my Dad but I would certainly damage something if I couldn’t keep my temper to myself. I could hear his footsteps following behind me and I had to use all of my might to shout again. He was catching up to me quite quickly so I attempted to take longer strides in order to get out of there quicker. It didn’t work. ‘Matthew, slow down. Let me say something.’ ‘Let you? LET YOU? I have been waiting for years for you to ‘say something’ so don’t bother.’ I was on the point of breakage, anger and frustration was building but for the first time in a while I felt like I would explode with tears. ‘I finally try to open up to you and all you can do is lie to me. ‘I told you everything son’, ‘I was a bad parent to your sisters too’...yada yada yada. In case you haven’t noticed they’re fine! Confident and too far up their own-’ ‘Don’t you dare! I don’t care what age you are but you do not talk about your sisters like that and most definitely not under my roof.’ ‘Oh excuse me.’ ‘I was just going to say that this girl you want back better be worth it.’ ‘Oh believe me, she is.’ By this point I was outside the front door and I was free. ‘In fact I think you know her – Alexa Fiddle. Ring a bell?’ And I disapparated with a pop. Hope it was alright :) |
oh. my. god. THAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!! i loved how you staged ted and matt's argument. it was so dramatic and somehow i feel like ted's sort of the bad guy in this story which is weird because i loved him with all my heart in the first story! it's been so long, I'M SO GLAD YOUR BACK KATIE!!!!!! *hug* |
Hey Katie. You did a great job writing this new chapter, and making us feel emotions towards your characters. I feel so badly for Matt. I understand how he feels so alone in the world. And not only that, but he (and I agree with him) feels that Paul isn't good for Alex. It has to be awful for him to care so deeply for her, and not be involved in her life, and then find out that the boy she is in love with isn't what he should be to her. So sad! And then on top of that, he is unhappy at home. This part is difficult for me, because I loved Teddy so much and had such respect for him in your first ff. I hope he is able to get together with Matt and become a solid dad for him. I don't think he should interfere with who he chooses to be in love with. That isn't the role of a parent when the child becomes old enough to have serious relationships. But they should still be there for advice and support. I sure hope everything works out for him. I do still think highly of him Great chapter Katie. I'll be watching for your next. :glomp: |
