9 3/4. There I was, standing, staring. I couldn't believe it was already my fifth year, just like that another year has ended. Another ending of an amazing chapter. I ran through the wall with hope, hoping to make this year amazing like the rest. I couldn't wait to see all my friends, I miss them dearly. We had all been writing notes to each other over the summer, It felt like this summer was years upon years long. As I arrived at the train, most seats had already been taken. I looked around for my friends but couldn't find them, maybe they already had a compartment. I started to give up looking so I just sat alone in an empty compartment, it sounds sad but it was very peaceful to my surprise. As we were about to head off, A boy came up to the door and knocked...

"H-Hello, I'm Tom, Tom Riddle... um, would you mind if I joined you? No other compartments seem to be available at the moment..", I stared back, knowing of the Riddle family, they were evil, no good, pureblood, Slytherins who felt the need to knock others down to gain their power, and it worked. I then found myself getting lost in his bright blue eyes, they reminded me of the ocean... His dark brown hair, perfectly curled at the tip, resting nicely on his forehead.. his sharp jawline.. he almost smelled of salty sea air, as well as the drafty scent of the Hogwarts hallways mixed with an earthy scent almost of wood... stop Y/N I thought to myself, I can not be falling for a Riddle.

"Um hello?", Oh god... "Oh yea I'm sorry, go ahead..", He sat down right across from me, placing his bags on his right.  

Toms POV:

It was a bit awkward at first to be completely honest, I asked if I could sit with her and she kinda just stared at me...I couldn't tell if she was admiring me or I came off as an opposing threat towards her, knowing me being a Riddle it was a threat. She seemed to snap out of it all of a sudden and gestured me to the seat across from her. I opened my bag and grabbed a book out. As I was reading I looked up and she was just looking at me again... I cleared my throat, 

"Got a staring problem?", she realized I was speaking to her, "oh uh I'm sorry, ignore what just happened..". I looked at her a bit strange. "There are far more things to look at than just me, if you don't mind I would try doing so.", I snapped back annoyed. Her eyes grew a little wide getting embarrassed. I could tell she was a bit nervous about me. But I know she knew who I was. 

Y/N POV:

I was so embarrassed, I knew I should've stopped looking at him in the first place, I mean I barely know the guy, He's probably creeped out now, and on top of that he's a Riddle, who knows what he's capable of, I mean his family is full of evil... Pure Evil. I thought for a bit as I looked out the window at the breathtaking view, what if he wasn't like his parents, maybe he was different? Alright, I need to stop, I'm now trying to convince myself that he could be different, and so far from his manors, not much is a surprise.
