The Snake's Reflection | Tom Riddle X Reader

~.+Dancing in the Rain+.~

As (Y/N) shook her head, Tom gently held her hand and pulled her forcefully towards him.
"I do not want you to get sick, (Y/N). So please. Come inside."

"Ugh..Fine." she groaned, and reluctantly followed a satisfied Tom back into the house. As the two entered, (Y/N) closed the door behind her, and Tom grabbed a rather big towel from the bathroom and put it over her.

"Go and get changed. I will change after you."

After both of them got changed, they sat together on the bed for warmth. Tom put an arm around her shoulder protectively, and (Y/N) leaned on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

It was hard to believe that a man as perfect and handsome as Tom was actually alive and breathing just like she was.

"Are you warm enough?" Tom asked, glancing at her. (Y/N) shrugged. "I would be warmer if you gave me something."

Tom looked slightly confused at first, but then smirked and kissed her passionately. As the two separated, Tom run a hand through her (H/C) hair.

"You have no idea how much I love and treasure you." he whispered, making (Y/N) blush in embarrassment. But the next thing he said made her shiver.

"I will kill anyone you harms you."

(Y/N) chuckled nervously, and realised once again that Tom did have a dark side to him. But she was the reason he wasn't using it.

Useful things about Horcruxes and Dark Magic were in his diary, but he never seemed to actually put his knowledge to use.

Which was a good thing.

"I am here to report to you."

"What are we supposed to do?! We have no more spies since they all got caught and freed! Please tell me you managed to find an Animagi."

"I have. There is one living in (---) Street. Female, 15 Years old, Witch."

"What is her form?"

"A wolf, sir."

"Hm....I wanted something more like an eagle or some sort of stealthy insect...But a wolf is good enough. What is her fur colour?"

"The colour is (Colour) sir. It was truly beautiful. And deadly."

"Fantastic. Bring her here, and I shall think about your reward."

"How much?"

"50 Galleons if you bring her here. I will add 70 Galleons if the mission succeeds."

"Deal."

Tom breathed softly as (Y/N) her head was buried into his embrace as the two slept. As the two slept, there were footsteps downstairs. Tom got up as he heard the footsteps.

He narrowed his eyes and got up, leaving (Y/N) on the bed and in the room by herself.

He headed outside the room with his wand in his hand.
"Show yourself." he snarled, looking around cautiously.

"Expulso!"

"Protego!" Tom shielded himself as someone from the shadows tried to hit him with a spell. He growled and headed towards the direction the spell was casted.

"Petrificus Totalus." he hissed, and the caster fell onto the floor with a thud, only her eyes moving. As Tom's shield faded, another shadow moved from behind him.

"Stupefy."

"Is that the Animagi? She looks quite young. 15 did you say? She will be easy to curse, so I suppose her age doesn't really matter. Is she unconscious?"

"Yeah~. I did quite well perfecting my spells. Now, give me my 50 Galleons."

"Fine. Hm...she is truly magical. Did you get rid of the boy?"

"We broke into their house and found that the boy was awake. He was quite skilled than I thought; he managed to stun one of our most skilled and stealthy witches with ease.
But I crept up on him and stunned him. He doesn't know that she disappeared. Yet. Nonetheless, he won't be able to track her."

"Well done. Here is your 50 Galleons. Well then, let's start our work, shall we?"
