—MATTHEO RIDDLE.

Mattheo and you were dating; after the magical war, you built a life together, but the joy didn't last forever. Love wasn't enough to overcome all the problems you faced, so you decided to break up. Months later, you discovered you were pregnant, but you never went back to look for Mattheo since he had started a new life.

With a heavy heart, you walked away from him to raise your son alone. Now, the little boy named Marcus was 11 years old and about to enter Hogwarts; you returned after eleven long years. While buying your son's supplies, you bumped into someone in the same shop: Mattheo Riddle, whose face went pale upon seeing you, and even more so when he looked at the little boy who looked exactly like him, except for the eyes, which were yours.

—He...

He couldn't finish; he fixed his gaze once more on the boy, who was a living reminder of the two of you.
