![]() I first saw the show on television and absolutely fell in love with Matthew and Diana. ![]() Matthew must do what he can to protect Diana from those who would try to use her, and keep her safe from all of the dangers that lie ahead for the both of them. When the other creatures begin to learn of the book’s return, they come from all over the world to try to obtain it for themselves, and unlock it’s secrets. Slowly, and surely, he works his vampiric charm on her and they fall madly in love, though inter-species dating seems to be something overly frowned upon by the majority of the supernatural community. She rebukes him at every chance she gets. At first, Diana wants nothing to do with him. What Matthew doesn’t expect, is to find himself spellbound by the witchy professor. A fellow professor at Oxford with dark and mysterious motives, he entrenches himself in Diana’s life in order to use her to gain access to the Book of Life (Ashmole 782). When Diana finally opens the book, a surge of power is released from its pages and acts as a signal to all creatures that the book has made another appearance.Įnter our heartthrob vampire, Matthew Gabriel Philippe Bertrand Sebastien de Clermont (or Matthew de Clermont in the TV show and books). It is a book that has been sought after by creatures for centuries, that just also happens to show up when Diana, and only Diana, calls it from the repository. A magical reference book that holds the key to life and all existence. In her research into Alchemy at Oxford, she comes up on an old manuscript, Ashmole 782. She is reluctant to embrace her magical history, and keeps it hidden even from those who know exactly what she is. She knows all about the supernatural world and how her parents were powerful witches who both lost their lives due to that fact. She begins her teaching career at Oxford, and attempts to keep her magical past just that, the past. She is young, professional, and from what we can tell, a little introverted. When we first meet Diana, she is the youngest professor at Oxford University in England. ![]() SPOILER ALERT: The next part will contain spoilers from the first book (and possibly the second.) The relationship between Matthew and Diana is #relationshipgoals. It wasn’t until A Discovery Of Witches appeared on my television on Sky One that I realized, I had been dealing with teenage crushes and whimsical romances when it came to TVD and TB. I didn’t think my love of paranormal couples could extend any further. I thought the idea of a witch falling in love with a vampire was right up my alley, but I was already in love with Sookie and Bill, and Elena and Damon. I didn’t pay it much attention to it at the time as I was already neck deep in The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and True Blood. Years ago, a friend of mine told me about a series of books that involved a witch, and a vampire, and the secret to life. If you haven’t heard of Matthew de Clermont and Diana Bishop, you are definitely missing out. ![]()
