Pretend

Nine - Christmas (2/2)

Quick a/n:
y/fn = your father's name.
Y/mn= your mother's name

'Oh hi y/fn, long time no see' said Tom's father, Tom lmao
As he patted my fathers back
'Indeed, work got us both busy I see'

'Hello y/mn' says Tom's mother Merope as she hugged my mother.

While all of this was happening I was just behind my parents standing awkwardly like 🧍🏻‍♀️ smiling, and so did Tom behind his parents 🧍🏻.

Now that I see them, they seem like nice people. Probably both my parents and Tom parents act so serious and professional only for work matters..

'Y/n! You've grown up as a lovely lady'

I almost got startled at the sudden mention of my name.

'It's nice to see you' states the pale woman with dark hair

'It's nice to see you too mrs Riddle' I reply with a smile

'Oh just call me Merope, no need for formalities as we're technically family'

Family, that word hit different today huh

'Very pleased to have you today' said Tom's father referring to the three of us 'the house elves will take care of your belongings, Tom would you mind giving y/n a tour of our house?' He said tilting his head towards his handsome son, his son I mean,his son.

'Not at all' Tom responded and looked at me 'shall we?'

I just nodded and starting walking beside him while the four adults went to the living room probably to talk about some boring stuff.

Good thing I didn't have to stay with them.

'You look raveshing, I must admit'

Stop I'm going to blush

' thank you I know' I winked mockingly

'Wow' he scoffed

'Alright alright, you look good in a suit though' I admitted, it was the raw truth

' I know' he sais coping the tone of my voice

Bitch

I just rolled my eyes, like I always do

People can literally do nothing and I'll find it annoying.

We were walking through a corridor full of paintings, some were ugly to be honest but some were pleasant.

We arrived in front of a big wooden door

'This, is my paradise' announced Tom revealing the immense library
Full of hundreds of books, there was also a fire place a coffee table and a few armchairs and a couch, it looked like if the slytherin common room and the library had a son.. know what I mean?

' paradise? Well yeah I see it but you're literally the devil' I scoffed

We entered the room and it was so cozy and peaceful

'I would just live here' I said as I was scanning the books

'I literally just do, I spend most of the time here' he admits

' I understand you perfectly, I practically read all of the books in our library at home since its small' I say still looking at all the books of different size and colour

' but yours its ENORMOUS'

Oh shit that sounded weird

'THE LIBRARY, I was talking about the library.' I stated turning left facing him
