Tom Riddle, The prefect of Slytherin. The definition of tall, dark, and handsome. Of course he knew it too, he has his fellow classmates melting at his fingertips. Except one. Y/N L/N, she never seemed to bow to his charms, even though he's tried numerous times to get her to do his bidding. No matter what, she never ended up doing it. Tom takes a deep breath and walks out of his defense against the dark arts class, and down the Great Hall into the Courtyard. There were many groups sitting in the grass, Y/N seemed to be on her own, seemingly scribbling her thoughts into a notebook. He walks over to her, and send her a small smile "What are you writing about?" He asks. She looks up at him, her eyes sparkling from the sun "Nothing....I'm drawing..." She murmurs, it seems a soft pink had tinted her cheeks. "May I see it?" Tom asks, crouching down beside her. She quickly slams the notebook shut, nervously fiddling with the cover "I-Its not done yet..."
Tom raises his eye brow and internally grins, this would be an opening to get her to do what he wants. She's average, no one would ever question what she's doing. He smiles at her "Come on, what's the harm. I'm sure it's great." He chuckles. She looks over at him then slowly hands him her book. He flips it open to find a sketch of his serpent ring. Then the next page is a sketch of the chamber of secrets. Toms face twists with confusion "What's this place here?" He asks, pointing at the sketch.
She looks down at her hands and shrugs "I'm not sure, I've been seeing these in my dreams." She gestures to the two drawings. Her eyes move over to his hand, the serpent ring that she had drawn is sparkling on his finger. She tossed her notebook to the side and grabs his hand obviously taking him by surprise, because he jumped slightly pulling back accidentally pulling her right on top of him. "You're wearing the ring..... Does the other picture look familiar to you?" She asks, her face uncomfortably close to Tom's. Tom shook his head "The ring I recognize, the room you drew, I've never seen it before."
She breaths out softly, she's never been this close to Tom. No one has. She examines his features before blushing heavily, rolling off of him. "I-I'm sorry Tom...." She murmurs, collecting her things. She hops up and speeds away from him leaving him completely confused.
Y/N's POV
My face felt hot, I had never realized how handsome he is. All I've noticed is how RUDE he is. But when he saw the pictures I was drawing he definitely knew what it was. I have to get him to tell me. The thought of what it could be scared me but I have to know why I'm dreaming about it.
I take in a deep breath going into my potions class with Slughorn. I sat down at my desk and waited for the class to start. And of course with my luck, tom had this class with me. I swear I felt my eye twitch when he walked in. I look down at my book, we had assigned seats so I figured there would be no opening to talk go him anyways.
"Alright, as you know we've been learning about the strong love potion, Amortentia." Slughorn announces to the class. "Today we'll be making it. So I've assigned each of you a partner and who ever makes the best amortentia potion, will get extra credit."He smiles, and starts reading off the team's.
"Y/N and Tom. "
My eyes move to Tom who's face showed no emotions at all as he walks over to my table and sits next to me. I smile lightly at him and open my potions book. "So it looks like we'll need, Ashwinder egg, Rose thorn, Peppermint, Powdered moonstone and Pearl dust." I murmur, gathering the ingredients from the table. Tom grabs my hand as I'm about to apply the ingredients to the cauldron. "If I'm going to be paired with you, we're doing this right." He groans and begins cutting up and preparing the items. I watch carefully, taking notes. His eye brow raises as he looks at me "Why are you writing this down?" He asks. I feel my cheeks go red "Well if this goes well, you know what you're doing and I will too...." I chuckle awkwardly. He rolls his eyes and starts pouring in the ingredients. I watch as it boils, the strong aroma hitting my nose. Professor Slughorn approaches us and looks at the brew "It looks like Tom and Y/N were the first ones to make the potion correctly, extra credit for you both. Now please, explain what you two are getting from this." He says, all the students eyes are on us. All the girls were staring intensely at Tom as he thinks about what he's smelling. I take in a deep breath "Um... I smell....Mint...wet concrete and a leather book?" I announce, seeing Tom freeze in his tracks. Tom clears his throat and looks up at Slughorn "It smells like nothing...." he sighs. Slughorn shakes his head "Now that's not true or you wouldn't still be smelling it." He says simply. "Explain."
Tom looks to the side "It smells like fresh ink...cotton and...Black Dahlias.." He murmurs. I look over at him, my cheeks go completely white. That's me. I use a Dahlia perfume that I got from Hogsmead and I do draw way to much so the ink scent must stick to me. Slughorn nods and walks away, I avoid eye contact with Tom. "Alright class is dismissed." He announces as the crowd floods out of the classroom. I stand up and once out of the classroom, making my way to the astronomy tower. I sigh and lean against the wall, the scent of the Amortentia still fresh in my head. My eyes look up at the beautifully lit sky as I lay on the floor, the stars sparkling radiantly. I smile, taking in the view completely.
I slowly begin to doze off, the cold air surrounding me. I get woken by footsteps heading up the stairs. I sit up, letting out a loud yawn. It was cold and dark, the stars seemed to have been covered by the storm clouds. I see a tall figure heading towards me. 'fuck I'm in so much trouble.' I think to myself, as the one and only Slytherin prefect approaches me. I sigh "Hi tom....look I fell asleep up here but I'm heading to my dorm now so please don't report me." I plead, my eyes peering into his. I saw a small smile play onto his lips as he shakes his head "I'm not going to lie to you Y/N, I really don't care that you're up here." He sighs. I blink, obviously confused "Isn't it your responsibility to care?" I ask.
He raises an eyebrow "I mean, do you want me to care, cause I can go talk to dumbledore right now..." He grins. I laugh and roll my eyes sitting up against the wall "No, No I prefer when you don't care." I smile, looking down at my hands.
"That's what I thought." He remarks, sitting on the bench in front of me. "Strange place for a nap though." He mentions. I look around and smile "I like it up here, no one is around, it's peaceful." I say, gazing at the sky. Tom looks out at the view and nods in agreement "I guess it does have its charms." He grumbles. I look up at him with a small smile "Are you always so glass half empty?" I ask, a grin taking up my lips. He looks at me with shock "I don't know what you're talking about." he sighs. I stand up and hold out my hand "Come with me then." I say, confidently. He looks up at me with confusion and takes my hand as I pull him down the stairs.
I pull him all the way near the black lake, he was trying his best to keep pace with me but me being the over excited child I am, it was hard. I slowly come to a stop as we get to the top of a hill, the view shows the far ends of the black lake, and the horizon in the distance. I sit down in the grass, patting the space next to me, gesturing for him to sit. I throw a rock into the lake, watching it skip. Tom looks into the distance, this is the first time I've seen him in his own space, his own mindset. Peaceful. It takes me a few minutes to notice I was staring at him, unfortunately he noticed before I did. He looks at me, with a very confused look in his eyes "What?" He asks.
I smile, taking his hand into mine, examining his ring "You know, I like seeing this Tom. The real tom, not the prefect who's always brooding away. The one trying to hard." I send him a light smile "I don't know you very well, Tom. But I'd like to." I mumble. All Tom did was stare at me. I look at him and quickly let go of his hand "Oh, um... I-I'm sorry this must be weird.....I'm just gonna.... Yeah I'm gonna go...." I stutter, standing up quickly, and turning away from Tom. I felt a hand grab mine and pull me back, I was completely not ready for this, and I fell backwards on top of him. I felt his breath on my neck, making me shiver. I bury my face in his shoulder, too embarrassed to look him in the face. I...I am on TOP of TOM riddle. Oh if the Slytherin girls could see me now. "Black Dahlias......" He mumbles. I sit up slowly looking him in the face, my face still a bright red "I-I.....What?" I ask, his hand moves up and runs through my hair "I can recognize that scent anywhere....." he whispers, then it hits me, the amortentia.....
"Tom....listen i---" I begin only to be cut off by a pair of warm lips, my eyes widen as I pull away slowly. He could obviously see my embarrassment, his hand runs up into my hair "You....are so different....it's so annoying." He huffs, my expression drops "What?" I ask. He tucks my hair behind my ear "I can't figure you out....everyone else eats out of my hand but you, you haven't even tried." He says. My eyes examine his expression. God he's so beautiful. He sits up, with me still on his lap, so we're still facing eachother. I don't know what was going through my head but I leaned in and kissed him back, my arms wrapping around his neck.
The kiss didn't have love or affection in it on Toms side, but like an idiot, I fell for it. Like all the others, I've fallen for Tom Riddles tricks.
Hey guys, thanks for reading this. There will be a part two to this tom riddle fan fiction. And this is NOT a love story. Tom is not capable of that in my eyes.
