Matthew turned around as he had bumped into her and caught her. He stared, eyes puffy and red. He didn't know what to do. He'd been crying all night long. But...no one would notice...right? He gulped "Its fine." he let out a small chuckle "I'm used to it by now." he sighed, stood her to her feet and turned towards his table. Matt looked down at his food and just picked at it. What was he suppose to know? Now someone knew his secret...why he was like this...why he was scary. Why he was he.
He had a whole reputation to hold, but...how could he...after now his whole secret life would be leaked out. Or at least...thats what he thought.

Later that day, Lana was walking around the familiar halls of Hogwarts mindlessly until she heard a distant sound of crying. Hurrying to the sound she saw Matthew sitting on the stairs of one of the abandoned towers with his head in his lap. Lana sat next to him silently and put her hand on his back. His head shot up, startling Lana.
"Matthew... I am sorry. I am sorry about what has happened with your life. With who you are. You are forced into this lifestyle where everyone thinks you're evil because of what your dad did. You arent your father.. and i understand that. I am truly very sorry." Lana said sadly in her strong accent. She wiped a tear off of his cheek and tried to smile.

Matt looked up at her as her finger touched his cheek. He took a deep breath. "I...always thought my father was a good person...always did the good for people...like he told me. Then I came and everyone hated me. So...I gave them a reason to hate me. Why not be proud of being hated." he took another breath "Its not like I like the fact they make fun of me...but I'm better then my father. I don't need to be considered pathetic because he walked out on me and mum." he groaned and looked up. "You figured it all out huh?" he said couldn't help but smile at her. "I mean... never thought it would be that hard to figure out my life. Mum hates the fact that I'm in Slytherin...but that was before I knew. So...what the point of being here? What does it mean. If I was put in Ravenclaw like my great-grandmother who married a muggle...why not?" he groaned. "Just because the rest of my family...on my father's side is Slytherin doesn't mean..." he stopped himself and looked at Lana. "Why am I even trying to explain this to you?" he sighed and looked down at his feet. "I'm practically a man now. No need to be crying about my suckish life."

"It depends on what you describe a man. A man could be a person who hides every trace of emotion and hides himself away giving out fake ideas on who he is. Or a man could be an honest person who isnt afraid of showing certain people what he is feeling." Lana shrugged. "It is your choice to decide what kind of a man you want to be. Frankly i respect the second example more, it shows that the certain man isnt a selfish bastard claiming to be on top of the world." Lana laughed and wiped another tear off of his cheek.
"Besides, from what you have told me, i think you did right by talking to me. It always helps to talk to someone. To let your emotions and feelings out." Lana nodded and looked down at her worn down purple converse.

Matt chuckled and looked up at her. "Yah, I guess I couldn't have kept it a secret from everyone." he smiled at Lana. "But hey, I don't think anyone wants to see you hanging out with Coil." he said standing up now. "I..really appreciate you being a friend and all, but its not safe for us to even think about being friends." he sighed and looked out one of the windows of the tower.

Lana sighed and nodded solemnly. "I know." After a moment or two of silence Lana let out a short burst of laughter. She looked up at Matthew who was looking at her like she was going crazy.
"Just a crazy idea..." she said, but the wondering look on his face made her go on. "Well... i was thinking that, what if nobody has to know? I mean, what if we keep it a secret?" she asked with a shrug.

He raised an eyebrow at her. She was a weird one...that was for sure. He nodded and stood up agreeing "I like that idea." he said, actually smiling now. Since he was almost a whole half a head taller then she was, he patted her shoulder. "I better get back. Malfoy is waiting for me." he said heading towards his tower.
((Malfoy is bad...just reminding you who he is.))

Lana looked up at him with her dark brown eyes as he put his arm on her shoulder. He was actually smiling! She couldnt contain the smile that bursted out, and she moved a lock of hair out of her eyes. But once he said Malfoy, the smile disappeared.
"Wait!" she cried as he started to walk away. "Why is he waiting for you?" she asked him. Lana. for some reason, was confused. And for the moments she was with him, she had forgotton who he was.

He stopped and turned around. His eyes were flashing now with anger, but his face was as emotionless as it usually was. Matt's mouth pretty much turned into a sly evil grin. "Draco Malfoy is someone who thinks he controls me." he said through his teeth. Matt's eye twitched "I may not be my father...but I am strong...both physically, mentally, and magically." he stated without turning around. He then continued walking towards the stairs "Lana, I do have reputation to keep." he paused as he approached a couple making out in the corner. He rolled his eyes, until they landed on Lana. His face went pink and he just stood there in silence.
Suddenly, breaking the silence he whipped his wand out from his sleeve and murmured a spell making a popping sound in between the two. He chuckled as he walked on passed them completely avoiding Lana's eye contact.

Lana saw the couple making out and didnt pay attention to it like usual until she saw Matthew's face, it was bright pink. When he left the couple were trying to get back together but it was like there was an invisible barrier that they kept hitting right before they touched. Lana wouldve been more shocked at the situation if she wasnt trying figure out why he was blushing. she walked down the hall with her mind reeling, She was so confused, and why was she still thinking about it?
Later on in the day she saw Matthew deliberatly avoiding her. One time, she was walking to class and he traveled to the oppisite end of the hall when he saw her. it seems like he is taking the secret friendship thing a little too far.... she kept thinking. That night after dinner when she was supposed to be going to her dormatory, she sat down on a bench a couple halls down from the main hall and started to think.
