Never again (Tom Riddle x reader)

Chapter 23

Tom Riddle's pov:

''What languages do you know?'' she asked, we were now sitting in one of the less known bakeries in Hogsmeade, ''Two, English and Parseltongue.'' I said as I looked around, ''You can speak to snakes?'' Y/n asked, amused, she smirked. ''Yes, Salazar Slytherin is my ancestor, it runs in the family.'' I said I took a sip of the coffee I got.

''That is truly impressive, Riddle.'' She replied and looked out of the window, her hair was neat, tucked away in a low bun. ''Call me Tom, love.'' I spoke, her head snapped to look at me again, ''What now?'' she asked, she was amused, ''I said.'' I leaned closer.

''Call me Tom.'' A pause, she exhaled a breath she was holding.

''Love.'' I spoke slowly and low, so only she could hear me, ''Oh, we are now on first name basis?'' ''Like friends should be.'' I replied and leaned back in my chair, and spread my thighs a bit, she looked at me and I looked away, I looked out of the window next to us, it showed an autumn-ish scene, with the leaves and old buildings, the sun was now gone and replaced with dark clouds. I tried to examine the scene as thoroughly as I possibly could, because everything in my being screamed to look at her and not stupid clouds.

''What languages do you speak?'' I asked after a moment of silence, ''French and English, so also two.'' She said and took a sip of her tea. ''Say something in French for me.'' I told her, ''Like what?'' she asked, ''Anything.'' I replied crossing my arms.

'' Je suis un peu confus quant à la raison pour laquelle tu m'as appelé amour et je ne crois pas, que tu veuilles seulement être ami avec moi.'' I said as I crossed my legs. He laughed, ''I promise I'll learn French just to know what you said.'' Toms laughed again and I smiled. ''Should we go? I thing it'll rain soon.'' She asked as she was about to stand up from her chair, ''Actually, there is another place, I would like to show you.'' I said as I stood up and extended my hand for her to take.

''Thank you.'' She said as she took it, lightly, she didn't even support herself on me, she just touched my hand, the sake of touching my hand, but her hands were cold, soft, but cold.

''Are you warm enough?'' I asked once we left the bakery, ''I am a bit cold, but I am alright.'' She replied smiling as she looked at me. ''Here.'' I said and put the blazer around her shoulders. ''No, you don't have to do that.'' She said as she was about to pull it off. ''No, leave it.'' I spoke slow, from what I have gathered, she liked when I spoke slow but not too slow. I squeezed her shoulders softly and gave her my arm to link hers in, she smiled again.

There was nothing ungenuine about this girl, she was pure, but not too pure. ''So, will you just keep looking at me or take me to the place you wanted to take me to?'' she asked smiling, we were in the middle of the sidewalk, I peeled my eyes away from hers and looked around to orient myself, I looked at the end of the sidewalk, Dolohov was speedwalking while looking straight at me.

''Dolohov, fancy meeting you here.'' Y/N said smiling at him, he looked angry, the man didn't even reply, but looked at me and if looks could kill. ''Riddle, we need to talk.'' He growled out, he looked drunk and smelled like the nasty pub he liked so much. ''Dolohov, not now.'' I replied with my palm separating him from myself.

''Why? Because of this whore?'' he pointed to Y/N, ''What the fuck is wrong with you, Dolohov?!'' Y/N scrunched up her nose and stepped away from him, I put my other arm around her waist and pulled her closer to myself. ''Dolohov, go back to the dormitory and sober up, we will talk later about this.'' I said in a calm voice before I separate his head from the rest of his body without using any magic.

''No, I want to talk now.'' He said aggressively and got all up in my face. ''Do you want to die?'' I asked curiously. ''What?'' Y/N asked, ''Don't do it, he's not worth it.'' She said as she tried to push me away from him.

''Y/N, go to the boutique across the street please.'' I said as I let her go, ''Tom, don't.'' Y/n said sternly as she grabbed my wrist, with the most desperate look on her face. ''It'll be fine, Y/N go, I'll find you.'' I said as I took her hand off from my wrist.

She looked at me with a stern look, she knew shit was going to go down, Y/N nodded and went to the boutique across the street, but that wasn't the place I wanted to take her to. Fucking Dolohov, ''Let's go.'' I said and pulled Dolohov in an alleyway by the back of his neck.
