Pretend

Twenty five - Start of summer break

✧༺♥༻∞∞༺♥༻✧

The train ride felt the faster as ever.

'You two don't forget to bring me some snacks from your trips' I address the two trouble makers smiling

'Of course your highness' they reply bowing, these two never changed

'And you two, keep me updated okay?' I wink at my bestfriend

She hugs me and whisper in my ear
'If Tom hurts you tell me and I'll come to kill him' I laugh
we all waved our goodbyes and parted ways

'So I'll meet you tomorrow?' Asks Tom looking down at me

'Yes, I still have to get my stuff and all'

'Alright' he says leaning down to kiss my forehead

✧༺♥༻∞∞༺♥༻✧

I got everything , I think?
I'm even packing without using magic which is even more complicated, another few months and I'll be able to use it outside school.

Before using floo powder to go to The Riddle Manor, I wrote a reply letter to my parents

Yesterday they sent me a letter to congratulate me and Tom,saying that they are doing just fine and work was great

Dear parents,
We agreed that I'm the one staying at the Riddles. I'm actually amazed at the amount of trust you give us, thank you. We won't disappoint you.
Please take care.
Love, your daughter .

I gave it to my owl and instructed it to come back to the Riddles and not here.
I pushed down the stairs my heavy trunk since I didn't want to disturb the house elves

'Bye! See you soon! Please enjoy your vacation too I wont tell my parents' I wink at them

'Enjoy your vacation too miss y/n'
They say before I disappeared in a cloud of dust

Tom's pov

I've been contemplating the letter my father sent me earlier, there's something I don't understand.

What does he mean for

'If you really have to, use protection'

Protection? From what?

My thoughts disappear once I hear a loud noise coming from downstairs

I run to the library just to see y/n coughing removing the dust from her clothes

I walk closer to hug her from behind

'Oh gosh Tom you scared me' She jumps a little cutely

'Oh really?' I say laying my head in the space between her neck and shoulder

She quickly turned around and hugged me

I hug her back and with one hand I remove the powder on her hair

We got out of the library where the house elves waited for us

'Please take her stuff to my room' I instruct

''Yes master' they reply entering the room

Walking towards the living room y/n looked at me

'Your room?' She asks

'Yes, I have a big room. Plus the bathroom in there is working again. You can use that and put all of your stuff, while I'll use the one in the corridor'

'Oh okay then..'

'You want something?' I ask going in the kitchen

'No thanks' she replies sitting on the chair of  kitchen island

'You have plans for the summer? You know staying at home all day could be boring' I ask as I prepare a cup of tea for myself

'Not really, I was just thinking about visiting Abby and maybe hangout with her and Dan.. if you're fine with it?I mean if you could come too it would be great'

'Yes of course' I reply sitting next to her

A smile grows on her face, I like her smile it's contagious .

Once she was settled on my bed reading, I started to fix my setting on the floor.

'You're not going to sleep on the floor, are you?' Asks y/n looking up from her book

'Uhm yeah? I thought it would make you feel more comfortable' I admit

Y/n's pov

Such a gentleman

'You have a big bed and you're going to sleep on the floor?' I laugh

'It's not a problem you can join me here' I say patting the bed right beside me

'Are you sure?' He asks

'Yes, I like cuddles' I admit but I blush as soon as I say those words

'Cuddles? Is that what you want?'

'Well, yes'

He then proceeds to get into the cover and clasps me in a tight and warm hug

I throw away the book and hug back laying my head on his chest
I could hear his heartbeat and his steady breathing.

The touch that makes me feel secure, the touch that I trust and crave for.

Butterflies fill my stomach as we both slowly drift asleep

A/n: you and Tom under the same roof again, but not awkwardly anymore🤭

I love all your comments I read them all! Don't be shy to leave more😌
