Three Threads of Love
Pairings ; Mattheo Riddle x m!reader x Theodore Nott
Summary ; You wake up with a dark green streak in your hairâproof that youâre soulmates with Mattheo Riddle and Theodore Nott. You try hiding, running, and even dyeing your hair, but they figure it out. After a dramatic meltdown (and an attempted escape), Mattheo and Theodore kidnap you with loveâbecause, like it or not, youâre theirs now.
A/n ; this was so funny in my head while I was imagining this, enjoy!!
Warnings ; none
Word count ; 5.8k+
Soulmates.
The word alone was enough to make your stomach churnânot in disgust, but in reluctant acceptance of a fate that had never been yours.
Everyone at Hogwarts had some kind of soulmate mark. It wasnât always instant, but by the time you reached your fifth year, you were bound to see at least something. A change in eye color, a faint tattoo-like symbol on the wrist, a string that tied you to another person, or the most dramatic of allâyour hair turning the same shade as your soulmateâs.
You had seen it happen all around you.
It was beautiful. It was poetic. It was tragic.
And yet, it had never happened to you.
No colors. No scars. No strings. Nothing.
You were simply you, Y/N L/N, the single yet handsome and endearingly adorable Hufflepuff. The boy who didnât have a soulmate mark.
At first, people assumed it would come later, that maybe you were a late bloomer. But when seventh year rolled around and you were still untouched by fate, the whispers started.
"What if he doesnât have one?"
"Does the universe even allow that?"
"Oh, Merlin, imagine being born single. Thatâs actually tragic."
Even your friendsâCedric, Susan, and the rest of the Hufflepuff gangâjoked about it. Not cruelly, but in a way that made you feel like some kind of rare specimen.
"Maybe youâre the universeâs loophole," Cedric had said once, slapping your back in amusement. "The one person meant to roam free."
You had laughed it off. Smiled. Accepted it. Because what else were you supposed to do?
There was no mark.
No connection.
No destined love waiting for you at the other end of a thread.
You were simply alone.
And you had made your peace with that.
Until, of course, fate decided to fuck you over.
âââââââââ
You had always been a heavy sleeper.
So, naturally, it took something extraordinary to wake you up before the sun was even fully up.
This morning, that extraordinary thing was your own shriek.
You had barely cracked your eyes open when something felt off. Like, in-your-bones, gut-wrenching off. It wasnât a feeling you could pinpoint, but there was a strange tingling in your scalp that made you sit up, groggy and disoriented.
And then you saw it.
A single lock of hairâonce your usual shadeâwas now a deep, almost velvety dark green.
You stared.
It stared back.
And that was when the panic hit.
âAAAAAAAHHHHHH!â
Cedric shot up from his own bed like heâd been hexed. âWhat the fuck?!â
âMY HAIR! MY FUCKING HAIR, CEDRIC!â You grabbed a strand and shoved it in his barely-awake face, eyes wild. âLOOK AT IT!â
Cedric blinked at you, then at your hair, then back at you. ââŚWhat am I looking at?â
âItâs green!â You nearly hyperventilated, clutching at your head like you could somehow shake the color out. âItâs not supposed to be green!â
Cedric squinted at the strand, realization dawning on his half-conscious face. âWait. Wait. Oh, shit.â
You flopped back onto your bed, groaning dramatically. âOh shit is right! I went my whole life thinking I didnât have a soulmate, and now I wake up in seventh year with a bloody green streak in my hair?! Who the hell even has green hair?!â
Cedric was still staring at you, now fully awake and fully bewildered. âThatâThat means something, doesnât it?â
âNo, Cedric, it means nothingâI just suddenly decided to cosplay as a Slytherin overnight.â
âI knew you were hiding a Malfoy obsession.â
âNot the time.â
Cedric bit back a grin before running a hand through his own hair. âOkay. Alright. Breathe. Letâs think about this logically.â
You sat up again, dragging your hands down your face. âLogically? Logically, the only people in this damn school with this specific color of green hair areââ
And then it hit you.
Like an actual bludger to the skull.
Your entire body went stiff. Your brain blanked out.
Because there were only two people you had ever seen with this exact shade of dark green in their hair.
Mattheo Riddle.
Theodore Nott.
âOh,â you whispered.
Cedric, ever the genius, saw the look on your face and immediately put two and two together. His jaw dropped. âOhhhhhh.â
Your hands started shaking. âNo. No way. ThatâThat canât be right.â
Cedric was already grinning like a madman. âIt is right.â
âIâI donât have a soulmate!â
âWell, you do now.â
You felt lightheaded. âNo. No, this is a mistake. Theyâre already soulmates. Everyone knows theyâre soulmates. You canât have two. Thatâs not a thing!â
Cedric raised an eyebrow. âTell that to your hair.â
You threw a pillow at him.
âââââââââ
MeanwhileâŚ
Across the castle, in the depths of the Slytherin dorms, Mattheo sat up so fast he nearly knocked Theodore off the bed.
âWhat the fuckââ
Theodore groaned, rubbing his eyes. âMattheo, if you woke me up to tell me about your dream where you hexed Potterâs eyebrows off againââ
Mattheo wasnât listening. He was too busy staring at the faint golden shimmer across Theoâs knuckles.
The same shimmer was now visible on his own wrist.
And they both knew what it meant.
Someone else had just been tethered to them.
ââŚOh, fuck,â Theodore whispered.
ââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ ââââââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ ââââ
You were not panicking.
You were perfectly calm.
If anyone asked, you were just casually wearing a hoodie with the hood up in the middle of breakfast, in a warm castle, surrounded by friends who knew you never wore a hood indoors.
Absolutely nothing suspicious about that.
âŚExcept, of course, that you were suspicious. Very suspicious.
Which was why, when you slid into your usual spot at the Hufflepuff table, hands tucked into the sleeves of your oversized sweater, you were grinning a little too wide.
"Morning," Cedric greeted, shooting you a knowing glance as he buttered his toast.
"Morning!" you chirped back, voice an octave higher than normal.
Immediately, Susan Bones and Hannah Abbottâwho had been talking about some Charms essayâturned to look at you.
Both of them frowned.
"Youâre being weird," Susan said flatly.
Your grin widened unnaturally, almost manic. "Me? Weird? Noooo."
Hannah squinted at you. "Why are you wearing a hood?"
"Oh! This?" You tugged at the fabric like you had just remembered it was on your head. "Uhânew fashion statement."
Susan exchanged a glance with Hannah before looking back at you. "Fashion statement?"
"Yup!" You nodded way too fast. "I decided toâuh, embrace the mystery, you know? Keep people on their toes! Make âem wonder whatâs under here. Itâs all the rage inâuh, France."
"France," Hannah repeated, deadpan.
"Yup!"
Susan folded her arms. "Y/N."
You laughed. "Yes, dear friend of mine?"
"You hate having anything on your head. You complain about hats. You threw a fit last winter when we made you wear a beanie to Hogsmeade."
"Ah! Yes, well, character development! Growth! The arc of my maturityâ"
"Y/N."
You flinched at the tone.
Damn Hufflepuffs and their terrifying ability to detect bullshit.
Hannah narrowed her eyes, tapping her fingers against the table. "Did Peeves glue something to your head again?"
"No!"
"Did you fail a spell and accidentally dye your hair pink?"
"Of course not!"
"Did a bird poop on your head?"
"What? No!"
"Then why are you hiding your hair?"
Your eyes darted across the Great Hall, looking anywhere but at them. "Oh! Look! Porridge!" You grabbed a spoon, stuffing a massive bite into your mouth, barely even tasting it.
Susan and Hannah exchanged another look, suspicion written all over their faces.
Cedric, the only one who actually knew what was going on, simply took a sip of his pumpkin juice, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
"Youâre lying," Susan declared.
Your spoon froze halfway to your mouth. "Iâ"
"You are lying!" Hannah gasped.
"I am NOTâ!"
"You are literally grinning like someone who just got caught sneaking into the Restricted Section!"
"That is absurd!" You let out a completely unnatural laugh, shifting in your seat. "I am merely a man who enjoys the simple pleasures of life, such as porridge andâ OH LOOK, A WINDOW."
You twisted your body to face the stained glass like it was the most fascinating thing in the world.
Unfortunately, this only made you look even more suspicious.
"Y/N," Susan started, voice low and accusing. "What did you do?"
"NOTHING!"
"Then why do you look like youâre about to bolt out of the room?"
"I just have a lot of energy this morning!" You were still grinning, voice high and unnatural. "You know, good sleep, nice weatherâ"
"You slept terribly and itâs raining outside."
"A fine drizzle!"
"You hate the rain!"
"I have learned to love it!"
"Y/N."
You shoved another spoonful of porridge into your mouth, avoiding eye contact.
ââââââââââââ
At the Slytherin Table
"Alright, spill," Pansy Parkinson demanded the second Mattheo and Theodore sat down.
Astoria Greengrass, seated beside her, gave a more subtle approach, raising a perfectly shaped brow. "Something happened. I can feel it."
Draco Malfoy, sipping his tea, barely looked up. "They probably got into a fight. Again."
Blaise Zabini, on the other hand, leaned in with genuine curiosity. "No, they look⌠weird. Like, different weird. You two arenât possessed, are you?"
Lorenzo Berkshire, who had been half-asleep against Dracoâs shoulder, finally stirred. "If they are, can we exorcise them after breakfast?"
Mattheo rolled his eyes. "Weâre not possessed, Lorenzo."
"Couldâve fooled me."
Theodore, who had been staring at the shimmering mark on his knuckles all morning, finally spoke. "Someoneâs been tethered to us."
Silence.
Thenâ
"Iâm sorry, what?" Pansy practically screeched.
Draco choked on his tea.
Blaise blinked in pure disbelief. "How?"
"Thatâs not possible," Astoria added, looking at them like they had both grown second heads. "You two are already bonded."
Mattheo tapped the golden shimmer across his wrist, the mark still faint but very real. "Yeah, well. Tell that to fate."
"This is insane," Pansy said, eyes wide. "People donât get two soulmates. ThatâsâThatâs likeâ"
"Unheard of," Astoria finished, still staring at their marks.
Draco, for once, looked genuinely intrigued. "Have you figured out who it is?"
"Not yet," Theodore muttered, though his gaze flickered across the Great Hall.
"Whoever it is," Mattheo said, smirking slightly, "theyâre probably freaking out right now."
Theodore huffed. "You would find this amusing."
"Oh, come on, Theo. Think about it." Mattheo propped his chin on his hand, eyes glinting with amusement. "Some poor bastard woke up this morning with a soulmate mark linking them to us. Thatâs gotta be terrifying."
"You are terrifying," Blaise agreed.
Mattheo winked. "Why, thank you."
As the conversation continued, Theodore let his gaze wander again, scanning the room.
And thenâ
There.
At the Hufflepuff table.
A figure slouched in their seat, hood pulled up, looking like they were actively trying to disappear.
Theodoreâs lips parted slightly.
Mattheo noticed, following his line of sightâ
And promptly grinned.
"Oh. Ohhhhhh."
Draco noticed too, and his brows shot up. "Wait. L/N?"
Pansy nearly dropped her goblet. "Youâre joking."
Astoria let out a soft, surprised laugh. "Oh, this is going to be interesting."
Blaise, meanwhile, was just staring at you in utter disbelief. "Him? The guy whoâs never had a soulmate mark? The one everyone thought was doomed to be single forever?"
Lorenzo yawned, rubbing his eyes. "I bet heâs panicking."
Mattheo smirked. "Oh, definitely."
Theodore, watching you sink lower into your hoodie, exhaled deeply. "We should talk to him."
Mattheo cracked his knuckles, eyes gleaming. "Absolutely."
ââââââââââââ
Back at the Hufflepuff Table
You had a bad feeling.
A very bad feeling.
Because the moment you dared to glance up, you found two pairs of eyes locked onto you from across the hallâone dark and intense, the other sharp and calculating.
Mattheo and Theodore.
Staring at you like they had just figured out exactly who their third soulmate was.
You gulped.
Cedric, noticing your expression, leaned in. "They know, donât they?"
You swallowed thickly. "They definitely know."
Susan, still confused, followed your gazeâonly to see two of the most dangerous Slytherins in the school actively plotting your demise with their eyes.
"...Y/N," she said slowly. "What did you do?"
You groaned, shoving your face into your hands. "I think I got soulmated."
Cedric grinned. "Told you fate wasnât done with you yet."
"Shut up, Diggory."
But deep down, as panic turned into something dangerously close to excitement, you couldn't help but wonder
What the hell were Mattheo Riddle and Theodore Nott going to do about this?
ââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ ââââââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ ââââ
Everything was fine.
You were fine.
You were totally fine.
Which was why you were currently walking through the courtyard with your friends, laughing along to one of Cedricâs stories while keeping a firm grip on the hood of your oversized sweater.
Just in case.
Because if anyone so much as glimpsed your hairâif anyone saw that stupidly obvious green streak that had appeared overnightâyour life would be over.
Dead. Gone. Vanished.
The headlines would read: Y/N L/N, Hufflepuff Extraordinaire, Found Dead Due to Pure, Unfiltered Embarrassment.
Susan and Hannah still hadnât stopped being suspicious, but you had managed to redirect most of their attention onto a very detailed discussion about which professor was the scariest.
"McGonagall."
"No way, Snape."
"Flitwick."
"âŚFlitwick?"
"Youâve never seen him angry. I have. It was horrifying."
You were just starting to think youâd actually get through the day undetected when the absolute worst thing possible happened.
Flint.
Marcus fucking Flint.
One of the dumbest, most obnoxious Slytherins in existence.
You didnât even see him coming.
One second, you were minding your business, strolling along, successfully avoiding any and all suspicious activity.
The next?
A rough hand yanked the hood off your head.
"Oi, L/N, what are you hidingâ"
Silence.
The courtyard froze.
You felt a chill run down your spine.
Oh, no.
Your friends stared.
The Hufflepuffs around you stared.
The entire courtyard stared.
Because right there, in broad daylight, your previously normal hair was now a very, very noticeable shade of blondeâexcept for the bold dark green streak running through it.
Your soulmark.
That exact shade of dark green.
Slytherin green.
Mattheo-and-Theodore green.
Susan's jaw dropped.
Hannah gasped.
Cedric, to his credit, didnât look that surprisedâjust vaguely amused.
But Flint?
Flint howled with laughter. "OH, THIS IS RICH! L/NâS BEEN SOULMATED TO A SLYTHERINâ"
You did not let him finish.
Nope.
Absolutely NOT.
Instead, fueled by pure, raw panic, you pulled out your wand, muttered something under your breathâ
And disapparated.
One second, you were in the courtyard, standing in front of way too many people.
The next, you were gone.
Vanished.
Just poof.
âââââââââ
Hufflepuff Dormitory, Five Minutes Later
You were not hyperventilating.
Okay, you were, but no one needed to know that.
You were pacing back and forth in your dorm, hands buried in your traitorous hair, breathing way too fast.
"This is bad. This is so bad. This isâFUCKâthis is really badâ"
Cedric walked in, looking entirely unsurprised to find you in full meltdown mode. "You vanished in front of half the school."
"Yes, Cedric, I am aware."
He leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms. "So, whatâs your plan?"
"My plan?" You let out a deranged laugh, spinning to face him. "My plan is to fake my death, move to a small cottage in the woods, and never be seen again."
"Thatâs not a plan," he pointed out, far too calmly.
"It is if you commit."
"Y/N."
"What?"
"You could just talk to them."
You stopped pacing to glare at him. "Oh, wow, what an idea, Cedric. Talking. Genius. Brilliant. Too bad I have crippling anxiety and would rather gouge my eyes out."
Cedric sighed. "Okay, so what are you going to do?"
You opened your mouth. Closed it. Opened it again.
And thenâ
An idea.
A glorious, absolutely stupid idea.
You turned to your trunk, rummaging through it until you found your wand and one of your old spellbooks.
Cedric raised a brow. "Y/N�"
You flipped through the pages frantically. "Thereâs a hair-dyeing spell in here somewhereâI know there isâaha!"
Your finger landed on the page.
"Here! This! Temporary. Quick. Lasts about a day. Perfect."
Cedric blinked. "Youâre going toâwhat? Hide it?"
"Yes."
"With a spell that lasts one day?"
"YES."
He stared at you.
Then sighed. "I donât know why I expected anything else."
âââââââââ
Back in the Great Hall
While you were busy spiraling, the entire school was losing its collective shit.
The moment you vanished, the courtyard had erupted.
The whispers spread fast.
And within minutes, the whole castle knew:
You, the beloved Hufflepuff, notorious single person, widely believed to be soulmate-lessâwas actually tethered to two of Slytherinâs most infamous students.
"You have got to be joking."
Pansy, still sitting at the Slytherin table, was staring at Mattheo and Theodore.
"He literally teleported away," Draco said, sipping his tea. "Thatâs how panicked he was."
Lorenzo whistled. "Damn. Thatâs impressive."
"We need to talk to him," Theodore said, his normally calm demeanor just slightly off-kilter.
Mattheo was already grinning. "Oh, definitely."
Pansy rolled her eyes. "Well, I hope you two have a good plan, because Y/N is probably halfway to Albania by now."
Mattheo just cracked his knuckles. "Donât worry, Pans. Weâll find him."
And when they did?
You were not getting away.
ââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ ââââââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ ââââ
You woke up the next morning with a single, hopeful thought:
Maybe it was all a dream.
Maybe your hair was still normal. Maybe you hadnât accidentally revealed your soulmark to half the school. Maybe you hadnât literally disapparated in front of everyone like a fucking lunatic.
Maybe.
You slowly reached for your wand on your nightstand, hesitated, then conjured a mirror in your shaking hand.
Then, you looked.
Your heart sank.
The spell had worn off.
The bright green streak was back, glaringly obvious against your blonde hair.
You let out a slow, defeated sigh.
"Fuck."
"Still there?"
You flinched so hard you nearly fell out of bed. "CEDRICâ"
"Sorry," he said, entirely not sorry as he leaned against the doorway. "But considering you screamed like a banshee yesterday, I figured I should check in before you self-combust."
You groaned, pressing your hands to your face. "This is so bad."
"Oh, definitely."
"Cedric."
"What? You want me to lie to you?"
"Yes."
"Fine," he said, deadpan. "Itâs completely fine. No one noticed. The entire school is not talking about it. Also, you definitely didnât magically vanish in front of fifty people."
You glared at him through your fingers. "Youâre the worst."
"I am the best. Now get dressed."
"Why?"
"Because if you hide in here forever, Mattheo and Theodore will find you eventually, and you donât want to know what their reaction will be if you avoid them all day."
You blanched. "Oh, fuck, youâre right."
"Obviously."
"I need to hide."
"No, you need to face them."
"Or I could hide."
"Y/N."
"Cedric."
"I swear to Merlin, if you donâtâ"
But you were already flipping through your spellbook again.
"There! Temporary hair-color alteration! Lasts three hoursâ"
Cedric sighed so hard it sounded like he aged five years. "Youâre stalling."
"I like stalling."
"Itâs only going to get worse if you donât talk to them."
"Maybe I want it to get worse."
"You donât."
You ignored him, casting the spell and watching with relief as the streak disappeared, replaced with your natural hair color.
Cedric just shook his head. "Youâre an idiot."
"And yet, a smart idiot, because no one will knowâ"
âââââââââ
The Great Hall
You walked into breakfast with false confidence.
You were fine.
Your hair looked normal.
Everything was fine.
You sat down at the Hufflepuff table, flashing an overly large grin at your friends. "Morning, everyone!"
"Morningâ"
"Why are you so chipper?" Susan asked immediately.
You blinked. "What? No reason."
Hannah squinted. "Youâre acting weird."
"Weird? Me? Thatâs crazy talk!" You laughed, but it was too high-pitched, too forced. "Iâm totally normal! Nothing to see here!"
Cedric, sitting beside you, sighed.
Susanâs eyes narrowed. "And why are you still wearing that huge hoodie?"
"Because I like it."
"Itâs eighty degrees outside."
"I really like it."
"Y/N."
"What?"
"What are you hiding?"
"Nothing!" You shot her another wild grin, your eyes darting across the room.
Unfortunately, your eyes immediately locked onto the Slytherin table.
More unfortunately?
Mattheo and Theodore were already staring at you.
Your breath hitched.
They knew.
You didnât know how they knew, but they definitely knew.
Mattheo was grinning, sharp and predatory, like he was waiting for you to run.
Theodore was watching you with his usual unreadable expressionâcalm, controlled, but his gaze felt heavy, like he could see right through you.
You snapped your head back around, facing your plate with great intensity.
Donât panic. Stay calm. Theyâre just people. Theyâre justâ
"Oh, my Gods, youâre definitely hiding something."
You nearly choked on your pumpkin juice. "NO, IâM NOT."
"You so are," Susan said, pointing an accusatory finger. "Your eyes are darting all over the place and youâre grinning like an absolute maniacâ"
"Thatâs just my faceâ"
"Youâve got that âI just committed arsonâ look again."
"I do notâ"
"Yes, you do."
"No, Iâ"
"Oh, for fuckâs sake, just tell us alreadyâ"
And thenâ
A horrible, terrible, awful voice spoke up from behind you.
"Whatâs wrong, L/N? Something you donât want people to see?"
Your stomach dropped.
Flint.
Again.
And before you could even react.
He yanked your hood down.
Again.
Your heart stopped.
Because this time?
Your fucking hair wasnât hidden.
The room fell silent.
And just like yesterdayâ
Every single person in the Great Hall stared.
Your brain completely short-circuited.
"Oh," Blaise said from the Slytherin table, his eyes widening. "Holy shit."
"Well," Pansy muttered, staring. "That explains a lot."
"Oh, wow," Lorenzo added, blinking. "ThatâsâŚkind of hilarious."
Draco just sipped his tea, unbothered. "Knew it."
Your breathing turned shallow.
"Welp," you said, voice higher than normal. "Guess thatâs my cue toâ"
You didnât even finish your sentence before casting another disillusionment spellâ
And disappearing.
Again.
Leaving the entire Great Hall in absolute chaos.
And at the Slytherin table, Mattheo and Theodore just exchanged a look.
Then, simultaneously, they stood up.
It was time to find you.
And this time?
You werenât getting away.
ââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ ââââââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ âââ
You had exactly two thoughts as you sprinted back to your dorm at breakneck speed:
1. Flint is a dead man walking.
2. I am so, so, so utterly, catastrophically fucked.
Your heart was hammering in your chest as you practically threw yourself through the entrance of the Hufflepuff common room, ignoring the confused stares of your housemates. You raced up the dormitory stairs, slammed the door behind you, and immediately started hyperventilating.
Think. Think. THINK.
Your cover was blown. Your very obvious, very incriminating soulmate mark had been exposed to the entire school. And, worst of allâ
Mattheo and Theodore had seen it.
And they were going to find you.
"Shit, shit, shit," you muttered, pacing like a panicked rodent caught in a trap. "Okay. Okay, Y/N, you can fix this. You just need toâ"
You didnât even know what you needed to do. Hide? Run? Fake your own death?
"Mate."
You whipped around to see Cedric leaning against the doorframe with the most done expression youâd ever seen on his face.
"You cannot be serious."
"Oh, I am so serious," you hissed, wild-eyed. "This is life and death, Diggory!"
"No," he corrected, pinching the bridge of his nose. "This is you being insanely dramatic about the inevitable."
"There is nothing inevitable about this," you shot back. "I still have time to flee the countryâ"
"You do not have time to flee the country," he groaned. "And even if you did, Mattheo and Theodore would just hunt you down."
You flinched. "Thatâs exactly what Iâm afraid of."
Cedric just sighed and crossed his arms. "You do realize that the whole point of soulmates is that youâre meant to be together, right?"
"Yes, well, maybe fate should have consulted me first, because I was not prepared for this," you muttered, gripping your hair. "I meanâtwo? Who the fuck gets two soulmates?!"
"Apparently, you."
"Thatâs not helpful, Diggory."
"It wasnât meant to be helpful," he deadpanned.
You groaned again, throwing yourself onto your bed and burying your face in a pillow. "This is a nightmare."
"This is hilarious," Cedric corrected. "And I would kill to see Mattheo and Theodoreâs reaction right now."
At that exact momentâ
Someone knocked on the dormitory door.
Your entire body went rigid.
Cedricâs eyebrows raised. "That was fast."
You slowly lifted your head from your pillow. "No. No, no, no, no. That is not them. That could be anyone."
Another knock.
This time, louder.
Your soul left your body.
Cedric smirked. "You gonna answer that, or should I?"
"Neither," you whispered in abject horror. "We ignore it. We pretend weâre dead."
"Pretty sure they wonât buy that."
"Well, Iâm willing to test that theoryâ"
"Y/N."
You froze.
Because this time, it wasnât a knock.
It was a voice.
A deep, smooth, terrifyingly familiar voice.
"Open the door."
Mattheo.
You squeaked.
"We know youâre in there," another voice added, calm and even.
Theodore.
Cedric grinned. "Oh, this is going to be fun."
You whipped around, eyes wild. "CEDRIC, DO NOT OPEN THATâ"
But the bastard had already swung the door open.
You felt your soul exit your body.
Because standing in the doorway, looking directly at you, were Mattheo Riddle and Theodore Nott.
And they looked very, very determined.
"Hi, boys," Cedric greeted cheerfully. "Come to collect your runaway soulmate?"
Mattheo smirked. "Oh, absolutely."
Theodore just tilted his head, eyes locked onto you. "You have nowhere to run now, Y/N."
You laughed nervously, scooting backward on your bed. "Okay, okay, letâs justârelax, yeah? Letâs be rational about thisâ"
Mattheo took a single step forward.
You yelped and scrambled off the bed. "Iâm very flatteredâhonored, evenâbut I think thereâs been a terrible mistakeâ"
"Oh, thereâs no mistake," Theodore interrupted, his voice soft but firm. "You are ours."
Your breath hitched.
Mattheo grinned, dangerous and amused. "And weâre not letting you run anymore, sweetheart."
You felt your entire nervous system short-circuit.
And Cedric?
He just sat back, crossed his arms, and grinned like the smug asshole he was.
"Oh, this is so much better than I imagined."
You were pretty sure your entire nervous system had just crashed and rebooted.
Because Mattheo Riddle and Theodore Nott were standing right thereâinside your dormitoryâblocking the only exitâand looking at you like you were a cornered rabbit.
Which, to be fair, you were.
You were already mentally preparing your last words, calculating how long it would take to jump out the window and debating whether or not you could survive the fall.
"Y/N," Theodore said calmly, taking a slow step forward. "We just want to talk."
"Do you?" you squeaked, pressing yourself against the nearest desk as if it would swallow you whole and save you from this nightmare. "Because I feel like this is less of a talking situation and more of a trapping me in my own dormitory situation."
Mattheo grinned, dark eyes glittering with amusement. "You say âtrappingâ like weâre holding you at wandpoint, sweetheart."
"Emotionally, you are!"
Theodore sighed. "Why are you running from us?"
"Uhâself-preservation?"
Mattheo snorted. "Dramatic much?"
"YOU SAY THAT LIKE THIS ISNâT A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION!" You flailed your arms wildly, your breathing coming out erratic as your brain scrambled for an escape plan. "I WOKE UP WITH A SOULMATE MARK! NOT ONE! BUT TWO! THATâS NOT NORMAL! IâM NOT NORMAL! MY LIFE IS OVER!"
"Youâre being a little theatrical," Theodore muttered.
"THEATRICAL?" you shrieked, gesturing at your hair like it had personally betrayed you. "IâLOOK AT THIS! I LOOK LIKE A REJECTED HOUSE ELF!"
Mattheo cackled. "Merlin, I love this guy."
"NO YOU DONâT!" You spun on your heel, calculating your chances of breaking through the door and making a run for it. Spoiler alert: Not good.
Theodore sighed, rubbing his temples. "Y/N, we are literally standing here trying to talk to you. You are making this way harder than it needs to be."
"IâM MAKING IT HARDER?" You gasped, putting a hand to your chest like you were about to have a Victorian-era fainting spell. "Oh, Iâm sorry, I didnât realize waking up with my entire destiny rewritten required a casual conversation over tea and biscuits!"
Mattheo smirked. "You say that like itâs a bad thing."
"It is a terrifying thing!" you corrected. "You two have been together for years! And nowânow I just suddenly appear in the equation?!"
"You didnât just appear," Theodore said, calm and steady as ever. "You were always meant to be a part of this, Y/N."
"THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOAD OF COSMIC BULLSHIT!"
You twisted your body, suddenly darting to the leftâ
âonly for strong arms to wrap around your waist and yank you backwards before you even got the chance to move three feet.
"Oh you little shitâ" Mattheo laughed, tightening his grip as you kicked and flailed like a deranged cat. "Did you just try to run?"
"CEDRIC DIGGORY, YOU HELP ME RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" you bellowed, desperately reaching out toward your dormmate, who was watching the entire scene unfold from his bed with an expression of sheer amusement.
Cedric raised an eyebrow, unbothered. "Nah, I think Iâll sit this one out."
"TRAITOR!"
"Oh, calm down, sweetheart," Mattheo grinned, leaning down to murmur in your ear. "You act like weâre about to kidnap you."
"YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE!"
"You are so dramatic," Theodore muttered.
"THIS IS A JUSTIFIED REACTION!"
"Youâre flailing like a fish," Mattheo added. "Itâs kinda adorable."
"STOP CALLING ME ADORABLE, I AM STRUGGLING FOR MY LIFE!"
"Oh my god," Theodore sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Y/N, just breathe. Youâre not dying. Youâre not being held hostage. Youâre just ours now. Thatâs all."
"THATâS ALL?!" You gaped, struggling even harder. "âThatâs allâ?! Youâre acting like you just told me my schedule has changed, not that my entire FATE HAS BEEN TIED TO TWO OF THE MOST TERRIFYING SLYTHERINS IN EXISTENCE!"
Mattheo smirked. "Terrifying, huh? I like that."
"SHUT UP, RIDDLE!"
"You know," Cedric interrupted, tilting his head thoughtfully, "for someone whoâs been single his whole life, youâre really bad at handling affection."
"I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AFFECTION BEFORE, CEDRIC! THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED TERRITORY!"
"So what Iâm hearing is," Mattheo grinned, "we just need to get you used to it."
"NOâ"
Before you could scream in protest, Mattheo spun you around, forcing you to face them as Theodore took a step closer, his gaze softer now.
"Y/N," he said, firm yet gentle, "you are ours. Whether you accept it now or later, that fact wonât change. You belong with us."
"That sounds dangerously like a threat," you muttered.
Mattheo chuckled, tilting his head. "More like a promise."
Your stupid, traitorous heart stuttered at the way they were both looking at you.
You took a deep breath.
Then promptly threw yourself onto the floor.
Mattheo blinked. "Did he justâ?"
Theodore sighed deeply. "Yes. He did."
Cedric snorted. "Oh, this is gold."
"IâM DEAD!" you announced from the floor, sprawled out dramatically. "You cannot claim me if I'm dead!"
Mattheo just laughed. "Oh, darling, you have no idea what youâve just gotten yourself into."
ââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ ââââââââ ŕ¨ŕ§ ââââ
You were still on the floor, arms spread out like a tragic hero, contemplating your life choices as Mattheo and Theodore stared down at you.
Mattheo was smirking, his arms crossed, while Theodore looked half-amused, half-exhausted, like he had already aged ten years dealing with your antics.
"Y/N," Theodore sighed. "You cannot just lay there and pretend youâre dead."
"Watch me," you muttered.
"You are so painfully dramatic," Mattheo cackled, nudging your leg with his foot. "Câmon, sweetheart. Get up before someone steps on you."
"I am the floor now. The floor and I are one. I have embraced my fate."
Cedric, still sitting comfortably on his bed, chuckled. "So, is this just how youâre planning to handle your entire soulmate situation? Just...playing dead?"
"YES!"
"Thatâs not a bad plan," Mattheo mused, stroking his chin. "Bit flawed though. âCause yâknow, weâre not leaving you alone, sweetheart."
"You say that like itâs a good thing!"
"It is," Theodore said, deadpan. "And youâre going to have to accept it eventually."
You made a pained noise, covering your face with your hands. "I donât know how to be a soulmate! Iâve been single my whole life! I was mentally prepared to be a lone wolf forever! The universe did not prepare me for two soulmates, let alone you two!"
"So what youâre saying is," Mattheo grinned, "you were ready to be miserable forever, but now that you actually have soulmates, youâre just freaking out instead."
"YES!"
Theodore let out a long, suffering sigh, like he was praying for patience. "Y/N, youâre acting like weâre asking you to perform some kind of ancient ritual. Youâre our soulmate. Thatâs it. You donât have to âbeâ anything except yourself."
You peeked at him between your fingers. "But you two already have each other. What if I justâmess everything up?"
At that, Mattheoâs smirk softened, and Theodoreâs eyes turned gentler.
"You wonât," Theodore said, calm and steady, like he was stating a fact rather than a hope.
"We wouldnât be bonded to you if you werenât meant to be ours," Mattheo added. "The universe is a bitch, but itâs not wrong."
You groaned, kicking your legs against the floor like a toddler. "You guys are making this too real! Let me have my panic, dammit!"
Mattheo laughed, and before you could protest, he scooped you up off the ground, hauling you over his shoulder like you weighed nothing.
"WHAT THE HELL, RIDDLE? PUT ME DOWN!"
"Nah," Mattheo grinned. "You had your fun. Now itâs our turn."
"THIS IS LITERAL KIDNAPPING!"
"Nope, just soulmate bonding," Theodore said smoothly, walking beside Mattheo as if this was completely normal. "And considering how much youâve avoided us, we have a lot to catch up on."
"CEDRIC, CALL THE MINISTRY! IâM BEING TAKEN!"
Cedric just grinned, waving lazily. "Have fun, Y/N."
"YOUâRE THE WORST, DIGGORY!"
"Love you too, mate!"
You screamed dramatically, kicking your feet, but Mattheo just laughed, tightening his hold on you like he was never letting go.
And the worst part?
Despite all your protestsâdespite your chaotic, overdramatic panicâ
There was a small, traitorous part of you that didnât want him to.
Is it just me or do other people get intense imposter syndrome within the aromantic everything. I figured out I was aro after four relationship where we either never talked or I overcominsated to an over bearing point. I feel so isolated from everything. Like I'm on the edge. O always see people talk about never understanding romantic attraction but I understand it. I understand wanting to be close to someone like that. But I don't feel romantic part. Yaa idk
